#2. Best: The New Day vs. Los Lotharios match

SmackDown this week featured one of the best tag team matches you will see in a while. When we see reports of Vince McMahon having no interest in the tag team division, it often surprises us. WWE doesn't have a shortage of tag teams and there certainly isn't a shortage of talent.

This week was the perfect example of that as Angel and Humberto of Los Lotharios took The New Day to the limit. It was an incredibly fun bout to watch, although we feel that the wrong team won in this case.

However, it was a great effort from Los Lotharios and was undoubtedly one of the highlights this week.


#2. Worst: Ricochet and Cesaro's continuous downfall on SmackDown

Ricochet defeated Ridge Holland in a singles match, but it soon turned into a tag team match where he teamed up with Cesaro to take on Sheamus and Holland. It was the duo from the UK who won the match, and while it wasn't a bad result, it continues to highlight the continuous downfall of two promising babyfaces.

Cesaro wasn't even in the Royal Rumble, which was a disappointment in itself. But the handling of The Swiss Cyborg since the summer of 2021 has been even more disappointing.
