WWE Raw vs. Smackdown Live: Which Was Better? (29th, 30th October, 2018)

#2 The Mid-Card:

Shinsuke Nakamura and R-Truth had an excellent match on SmackDown Live

Raw: Once again, this week's show of Monday Night Raw did not even mention the Intercontinental Title. While Seth Rollins holding the title is good for it, and he is currently involved in the most intriguing angle with Dean Ambrose, not mentioning it at all, does not sit well.

SmackDown Live: SmackDown Live was supposed to host a match between Tye Dillinger and Shinsuke Nakamura. However, Dillinger had to pull out of the match due to an injury he suffered. Fortunately, the United States Title was defended on the show. Instead of Dillinger, R-Truth filled in. The match was not too long, but was interesting nonetheless, with Nakamura retaining.

Which was better: The match between R-Truth and Nakamura for the United States title, where Raw did not even mention the Intercontinental Title makes it the obvious better show as far as this segment is concerned.

Winner: SmackDown Live
