Best and Worst of WWE SmackDown - First cracks in a long-standing team, Key Superstar missing from the show

#3 Best: The contract signing

Interesting effect of having no audience on Smackdown, you get a peak behind the scenes. Someone’s headset must have been off, because you can hear the director calling for very quick camera cuts. pic.twitter.com/xtarZ2PRcF

There's a big and real feel to the whole Roman Reigns and Goldberg feud. The contract signing segment this week did not feel like it was a sports entertainment skit in my personal opinion. It felt like there were two rugged and seasoned fighters meeting in the middle of the ring to settle their score.

I loved the fact that WWE showed us their hand and told us this week on SmackDown that the seeds for this feud had been planted a long time ago, especially if you consider that Roman Reigns sent out a tweet mocking Goldberg in January 2020. Also, Roman Reigns running down the list of legends that he'd dethroned during his career made it seem like he did have a realistic chance of stopping this unstoppable force to some degree.

I loved the fact that the contract signing ended with the two men facing off and the first time that they actually touch gloves will be inside a wrestling ring because it builds a sense of anticipation.
