#2 Didn't do right: Big names were missing from SmackDown Live

Some big names were missing from the blue brand this week. The nine time women's champion Charlotte Flair has not been on the blue brand for weeks, and it was no different this week. The Queen's last appearance was in a triple threat match which was won by Alexa Bliss. It is understandable that Charlotte doesn't have a storyline before heading to Extreme Rules but she is one of the biggest stars of the blue brand.

Finn Balor, who made an appearance on the blue brand last week, was missing this week. The current Intercontinental Champion was confronted by Nakamura last week, and the latter could be the next challenger of Balor. The fans were expecting to see them this week but it's unclear if the two former NXT Champions will lock horns at Extreme Rules.

Roman Reigns also skipped SmackDown Live this week. The Big Dig is undeniably the biggest Superstar of the blue brand but he has not been regular in his own brand. Instead, he has been a Wild Card entrant on RAW until this week.
