Best and Worst of SmackDown Live After SummerSlam

#4 Best/worst: No call ups

Did you guys want to see an NXT call up, following SummerSlam? — Did you guys want to see an NXT call up

So, RAW had no call up. And much to my surprise, neither did SmackDown Live. There is generally a call up that follows SummerSlam. It is part of the charm of watching the fallout show.

Wow no #nxt call up at all. Thank God before Vince ruin them#raw #SDLive

I can only guess that the rosters are far too stacked. WWE knows that these superstars would have been wasted. And that's a pretty smart call, to be fair.

That said, I'd have loved to see Shayna Baszler make her way up to dominate the roster. Perhaps even The Velveteen Dream!
