WWE SmackDown: 4 things WWE got right on this week’s episode (November 15, 2019)

#1 A fitting first challenger for the title on SmackDown

The final segment of SmackDown was an interesting one. It wasn't a match to main-event the night, yet three of the biggest stars of the company were involved in an interesting segment that allowed fans to take a deep look into the Blue brand’s talent pool.

The Miz kicked off his signature Miz TV segment and introduced Daniel Bryan. The two men recapped The Fiend’s attack on him last week, and The Miz asked why he thinks he was attacked by Bray Wyatt. This prompted Bryan to erupt into a rant before being interrupted by Wyatt’s Firefly Fun House.

Wyatt asked Bryan to come and play with his new favorite toy, only if he said the magic YES word. Bryan refused and asked instead for a Universal Championship match, which Wyatt accepted by leading the crowd into a chorus of YES! chants.

The entire segment was simple, yet effectively set up Wyatt’s first title defense. What made things more interesting was the fact that Bryan claimed mental instability and said both he and Wyatt understand each other because of that shared trait.
