SmackDown saw two whole hours of bone-crushing, window-smashing, van-flipping action
#1 Worst: Are SmackDown stars Mandy Rose and Otis babyfaces or heels?

Not long ago, I had a chance to catch up with SmackDown star Otis on a teleconference and I have to say that I am very pleased with how it eventually turned out. I implore you to check it out in the link that I have shared before I continue with my SmackDown review.

I just think that Otis and Mandy Rose did not behave as babyfaces generally would and I don't know if it will necessarily endear the two of them to the SmackDown crowd overall. You had them stealing King Corbin's crown, who is a full-fledged heel, and then you had Mandy Rose show up on the big screen during a SmackDown match between Lacey Evans and Sonya Deville to cost her former best friend the win.
A grown man upset about losing his crown is such a childish angle, even by sports entertainment and SmackDown standards.
Maybe not as much as the Broken 'Matt Hardy' and Vanguard 1 stuff but yes, still pretty weird nevertheless.
