WWE SmackDown Live: 4 Things we learned from this week’s episode (December 25, 2018)

#3 SmackDown can spot potential

Just a month ago, no one would have expected Mustafa Ali to take such a giant leap and become one of the main attractions of SmackDown Live.

Similarly, Almas has also come a long way in 2018 even though his potential hasn’t been completely utilized. With that said, there remains a lot for him going forward as there is no doubt that he will get in contention for championships very soon.

Unlike RAW, SmackDown has managed to give better chances to its wrestlers and spot the talent that deserves a push. Raw has made a mess of the talent at hand, and wrestlers such as Drew McIntyre, Finn Balor, Elias, and Bobby Lashley are just wasting their time even after proving themselves in the past and present.

SmackDown is giving wrestlers the chance to prove themselves and is presenting an interesting mix of matches which is keeping the product fresher, and also giving new talent some room to grow.
