Sami Zayn vs. Aleister Black was exactly the kind of match that we expected it to be from two Superstars with their athletic prowess. It was quick, it was hard-hitting and it was over in no time, resulting in a win for Black. I loved the match and even loved Black's entrance.

I wonder if SummerSlam would have been a better stage for the match. After all, more eyes would be on SummerSlam as compared to SmackDown Live. But for what it was, I wasn't all that dissatisfied with the way that things unfolded on screen.

So, this is the final 'Best and Worst' until SummerSlam weekend comes around. I'm really looking forward to doing one for TakeOver, although it's impossible to write anything bad about most NXT TakeOvers.

I leave you with an image of The Goddess and the Twisted Sister of WWE, holding their prizes aloft.
