2 Things WWE got right and 2 things they didn't on this week's SmackDown Live

This week's SmackDown Live emanated from the Wells Fargo Arena in Des Moines, Iowa, and it was a fast-paced show with some developments in storylines leading to Money in the Bank.

We saw Roman Reigns take a beat down from Elias and Shane McMahon which has the same feels of Reigns vs The Authority of the blue brand. Then we saw Lars Sullivan destroy some superstars for no reason which is what we have come to expect every single week.

There was a big development in the WWE Championship picture as Kevin Owens turned on Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods. Another big title development was Charlotte earning a shot at Becky Lynch's SmackDown Women's Championship by beating Bayley.

Also, we saw Andrade and Aleister Black on the blue brand which confirms their departure from Raw. Except for some misses, this week's SmackDown Live was much better than Raw, and in this slideshow, we take a look at the 2 things that WWE got right and 2 things they didn't get right.

#4 Got Right - Roman Reigns vs Elias for Money in the Bank

Yes, I think it is refreshing to see Roman Reigns being involved in a mid-card feud after arriving on SmackDown Live and there are two reasons for this, one - He will get supported by the WWE Universe against Elias, two - He shouldn't be dragged into the title picture so soon after switching brands.

This match also means that Reigns wouldn't compete in the Money in the Bank ladder match which means we won't see the Big Dog in the WWE Championship picture for some time to come. Nevertheless, Vince McMahon always has some tricks up his sleeve and he wouldn't want his favorite star empty-handed on the blue brand for long.

#3 Didn't get right - Lars Sullivan doing the same thing every week

This week on SmackDown Live, we again saw Lars Sullivan interfere in a match and destroy superstars for no reason whatsoever, and if the WWE doesn't stop this monotonicity with the freak athlete's character, I am afraid it will only get boring for the WWE Universe to witness him every week.

I understand Sullivan being built as a monster who can do anything he likes, but his development is much similar to Braun Strowman, and look how he has ended up on Raw. Sullivan needs a good feud to get over with the WWE Universe, instead of burying jobbers every week.

With Sullivan, it is quickly becoming predictable about what he is going to do every week, and when something becomes predictable, it gets boring. Vince might have to come up with a better plan for Sullivan.

#2 Got Right - Kevin Owens turning heel

This Heel turn from Kevin Owens has made the fan in me sad, but that doesn't mean this wasn't a great decision by WWE. Last week on SmackDown Live, Owens' confrontation with the New Day as a babyface was the best thing from the show, and this week, his heel turn wasn't anything different.

Owens can pull off any character easily and while many expected Owens to turn heel on Kofi Kingston, I am sure nobody was expecting it to happen after mere seven days of him being with the New Day.

Also, with Daniel Bryan being injured, Owens is the best possible heel to face Kofi for the WWE Championship at Money in the Bank and Vince has made one thing clear with this move: We may see Kevin Owens as the new WWE Champion anytime soon.

#1 Didn't get right - Charlotte becoming the number 1 contender for the SmackDown Women's Championship

How predictable has it become! Every superstar who Charlotte Flair goes up against for a shot at any Women's Championship, mostly ends up being on the losing side. In this case, it was Bayley.

Flair now has another opportunity to win the SmackDown Women's Championship and it is becoming tiresome to see the Queen get all the opportunities in the world, with a bunch of deserving women being relegated to the mid card.

For example, we didn't see Asuka get an opportunity to avenge her SmackDown Women's Championship loss when she lost it to Flair mere days before WrestleMania 35. That said, it would have been heartening to see Bayley get an opportunity to face Becky Lynch at Money in the Bank as we haven't seen the two in a WWE ring for some time now.
