On AEW Dynamite this past week, Cody Rhodes cut the best promo of his career that many have dubbed the best wrestling moment of the year. It sent goosebumps down our spine with just how exceptionally good it was, receiving praise from fans worldwide.
SmackDown had Baron Corbin come out to make dog noises to make fun of The Big Dog. He also referred to the nether regions of Roman Reigns repeatedly, to a point that it made me uncomfortable.

In a lot of ways, this was a lot more embarrassing than the Lashley and Lana storyline by a long shot. It may even be the worst promo that I have seen all year long and it wasn't Corbin's fault at all, but that of an inept creative team.
And to think that Cody Rhodes' promo was scripted entirely by him with no writers involved at all.
