Best and Worst of SmackDown Live: September 05, 2017

#2 Best: A pretty solid main event

This could have been on pay-per-view, and would have still ruled!

The main event of the evening was hyped to the skies. Quite deservedly so. The Viper took on The King of Strong Style with The Maharaja watching from the sky box, with the Singh Brothers for company. What transpired was an entertaining showcase that had the crowd chanting 'This is awesome' quite a few times.

This was the best Randy Orton match in quite a while and must admit that these two men did not wrestle like they had met for the first time ever, as they entertained those in attendance.

The right man went over because we've seen Mahal vs. Orton far too many times already. Let's hope their next encounter is better than their last one.
