Best and worst of SmackDown Live- 1 Jan, 2019

#2 Best: The main event

I think we can all agree that the main event was quite excellent. I mean if you put the likes of AJ Styles, Mustafa Ali, Randy Orton, Rey Mysterio and Samoa Joe in the same ring, the outcome is certain to be good. I think the match lived up to our expectations and then some.

I spoke to Mustafa Ali last year and he told me that his dream is to take on Rey Mysterio someday. I'm glad that his dream has come true and that he got to share ring space with the legend. There's nobody nicer than he is and I"m glad he got a chance to mix it up with his wrestling idol.

We also saw a little glimpse of AJ Styles vs. Rey Mysterio during the main event. I hope they get to tango someday.
