WWE SmackDown: 5 things WWE got right on this week’s episode (Oct 25, 2019)

#2 The backstage beatdown

Fans were excited for the advertised face-off between Brock Lesnar and Cain Velasquez inside the squared circle. As Rey Mysterio accompanied Velasquez to the middle and called out The Beast, Lesnar and Paul Heyman decided to appear on the titantron instead.

Things got ugly when Heyman revealed that they were too busy to walk into the arena as Lesnar was beating down Mysterio’s son Dominic backstage.

Mysterio and Velasquez rushed backstage to help the youngster, but The Beast struck once again by slamming Mysterio into a wall and then delivering his finisher to Velasquez onto Dominic.

The segment did much more damage than anyone could have believed, and it seems like The Beast has truly been unleashed by the company. However, Lesnar's actions may prove to be his undoing once he actually steps into the ring with his arch-nemesis Velasquez at Crown Jewel.

WWE has done a great job at building this rivalry, and we can easily say that this is one of the most indulging storylines involving Lesnar and a Championship we’ve seen in years.

Velasquez screaming in Spanish at the end of the segment is what was really needed to show the fans what Lesnar was really up against.
