The best WWE SmackDown match this week has to be the one between Drew McIntyre and Ricochet. Both men gave it their all, and the finish was a thing of beauty. Fans may already have seen how the match concluded on social media because it's become a popular GIF.

Is there anyone in sports entertainment today that takes better bumps than Ricochet? McIntyre is also racking up the wins on WWE SmackDown and building back the momentum he once lost.

#1 Worst: The worst thing about WWE SmackDown and maybe all of pro wrestling

What is the target audience for these 'liking to a Viking' jokes that Madcap Moss and King Corbin find funny? It's the very literal definition of 'go away heat'!

One has to wonder how many more episodes of WWE SmackDown we'll have to endure a Viking Raiders vs. Corbin & Moss feud on! Both gimmicks are very dated, feeling like they belong in the 90s. This may not necessarily appeal to anyone over the age of 12.
