WWE Smackdown Live 8.9.16: Results, Grades, Reflections

The New Era of Smackdown continues! 

OPENING SEGMENT: BRAY WYATT CLAIMS HIS TERRITORY

He's got the whole damn world in his hands!

The Eater of Worlds delivered another incredible promo, this time letting the WWE Universe know that he sits high above the other peasants on the roster. As Ambrose and Ziggler came to defend themselves against Wyatts’ propaganda.

When the dust settled, Ziggler inadvertently nailed Ambrose with a superkick and then received a kiss from Sister Abigail himself. As the bodies were scattered about, Bray Wyatt once again stood tall as the lone survivor of the segment.

New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE

This was a safe and wise way to open the show and to keep Wyatt relevant and not appearing weak. It'll be interesting to see how they book him for SummerSlam and afterwards.
