SmackDown Season Premiere: 5 WWE Superstars who impressed this week (October 16, 2020)

#2 Impressed on SmackDown: The New Day

This was straight-up beautiful

This week's episode of SmackDown saw an epic six-year run for The New Day came to an emotional end. During the WWE Draft 2020, the faction was forced to split after Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods were drafted to RAW while Big E remained on SmackDown. The trio featured in their last match together as a unit (at least for now) to take on Sheamus, Cesaro, and Shinsuke Nakamura.

Since it was a six-man Tag Team Match, The New Day did what they do best. They relied heavily on the chemistry that they share and managed to overcome the hard-hitting, reunited team of Sheamus and Cesaro as well as the ever persisting threat from Nakamura.

Finally, the three Superstars managed to get together one last time and conquer their opponents in what would turn out to be one of the best WWE matches from this week.

There were rumors about a possible heel turn by Big E as many speculated that he would end up attacking his New Day brothers. However, WWE clearly didn't want to take that risk. Instead, they want to book Big E as a huge babyface. He is even expected to enter the Intercontinental Championship picture soon, but it will be interesting to see how the creative will go about with his booking going forward.
