WWE SmackDown Flops and Hits: Big blunder with Kevin Owens, Finn Balor on road to redemption? (9th October 2021)

#2 Hit on WWE SmackDown: Paul Heyman cuts one of the best pro wrestling promos of the year

WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns was happy that Paul Heyman successfully brought The Usos to SmackDown during the Draft. But he also wanted his counselor to admit his role in making Brock Lesnar a free agent.

The segment eventually ended with Heyman warning The Beast Incarnate about his impending doom at Crown Jewel.

The promo was poetic on all fronts as it played with the history and subtleties of their current relationship and did well to keep fans interested in Paul Heyman's role in the title feud. Brock Lesnar is set to return on SmackDown next week, and it will be exciting to see how he will respond to Heyman's words.

#1 Hit on WWE SmackDown: Edge finally confronts Seth Rollins

Edge and Seth Rollins are currently involved in the best WWE storyline this year. The altercations, the promos, and the matches have been flawless so far, and it has resulted in an intense rivalry despite no involvement of a title.

The final segment of SmackDown this week saw Rollins boast about his past actions, i.e., hitting The Rated-R superstar with a devastating Stomp as well as invading the latter's home.

Edge soon made an appearance and went straight after Seth Rollins. Both superstars engaged in a brief but brutal altercation inside the ring. Eventually, the former took the microphone and said he would now face Rollins in a Hell in a Cell match at Crown Jewel.

This was very well done, as it seems like a rivalry that deserves this stipulation. So far, both Seth Rollins and Edge both have one win each to their name. Thus, the anticipation surrounding their third and probably final match will do a great job in hyping up their upcoming battle.
