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

#1 The main event

Roman Reigns, Ali, and Shorty G were scheduled to take on King Corbin, Shinsuke Nakamura, and Cesaro in a tag team match in what was supposed to be a showcase of what fans should expect from these top Superstars at Crown Jewel.

Corbin ensured that Reigns could not get involved in the match, but The Big Dog was too determined to keep away from the match.

All six men delivered a great performance, and Shorty G and Cesaro, in particular, got some top spots to shine. This could result in some good matches between the two men in the future.

The creatives booked the match right, and Ali scored the pinfall victory over Cesaro to emerge victoriously for his team. As Cesaro is not part of the 5-on-5 match for the event and will be battling Mansoor instead, it was the right call to make him take the pin for the greater good.

Ali’s rise should begin once again, and we could see him score the final pin for his team at Crown Jewel in front of a familiar crowd.

The entire match worked well with the top Superstars of SmackDown in the main event.
