One of the highlights of WWE SmackDown was the way Big E interacted with Paul Heyman in the backstage area...a prelude to him becoming a future Universal Champion? Special kudos to the production team and the way that this whole segment was shot...equally entertaining and indicative of a future reign!

#1 Worst: The Usos vs. The Mysterios

This feud is beyond boring and played out. The whole tag team division is a joke.

Something about the WWE SmackDown Tag Team Championship picture is just not clicking. It could be that Roman Reigns is done with the Mysterios and has moved on since his Hell in a Cell encounter.

The same can be said for the RAW Tag Team Championship picture. Somehow, whether it's WWE SmackDown or RAW, tag team wrestling just doesn't have enough of a compelling story arc for the audience to sink its teeth in!
