The biggest winners and losers of SmackDown 1000

Losers: Rusev and Aiden English

This segment really felt like it didn't need to happen. The Miz won this match so easily and Aiden English's distraction felt like such an afterthought in it that something else could have happened during the time it got instead.

This wasn't what the Rusev vs. Aiden English rivalry needed after cooling off with the reveal that One Night in Milwaukee was a dud. English looked particularly bad here, but Rusev fell into the trope of the spot that he's in as well. For the first time, it felt like a lower mid card rivalry that WWE doesn't care at all about.

This match should have instead been scheduled for next week's episode. At least it could have been given the proper run time and angle development that would have made it far more worthwhile to the audience. Instead, it was a lowlight of an otherwise solid episode.
