#2 Flopped on SmackDown: Rey Mysterio

Frankly, he deserves no blame for what happened tonight. This week on WWE SmackDown, Rey Mysterio locked horns with King Corbin in a qualifier to determine the next member of the Blue brand's Survivor Series team. But the greatest masked wrestler in WWE history fell prey to his emotions which ended up having an adverse effect on Rey Mysterio.

Rey Mysterio and King Corbin were engaged in a rather dull match on SmackDown while Seth Rollins looked from a distance. Right when Rey Mysterio started to gain momentum, Rollins walked down the ramp and started brawling with Dominik Mysterio who was present on the ringside. They were then interrupted by Aalyah and Murphy, the sight of whom made Rey Mysterio very angry.

The latter was distracted due to several interruptions during the match, and King Corbin did not shy away from making the most of this opportunity. He then went on to beat Rey Mysterio to win the match and booked a spot for himself in the Survivor Series team. We know the long-running history of this feud, but it is becoming more and more complex with each passing week. Making Rey Mysterio look weak on consecutive episodes of SmackDown might not be the best creative decision at the moment.
