2 Things WWE got right on SmackDown Live and 2 blunders they made (20 August 2019)

#1 Got right: Kofi Kingston's revenge and the build-up of the feud

Following the disappointing match at SummerSlam, Kofi Kingston and Randy Orton have taken the rivalry to the next level. It is certain that Orton will get a rematch at Clash of Champions and WWE could confirm the match in the next few weeks. Kofi Kingston made a gigantic statement on SmackDown Live where he decimated Randy Orton and The Revival.

Last week, The Revival were the Wild Card entrants on SmackDown Live as they teamed up with Randy Orton. After defeating the New Day, Orton delivered an RKO to every member of New Day. As a matter of fact, we saw the same scenario on RAW this week as Orton dismantled the New Day.

The two consecutive assaults added fuel in this rivalry. When Orton was taking a shot at Kingston on SmackDown Live, the latter attacked the former from behind. A Trouble in Paradise connected and took down Orton. After the vicious attack on Xavier Woods, Kingston was ready to injure the leg of Orton but The Revival came out to rescue The Viper. Although Orton managed to escape the ring, Scott Dawson and Dash Wilder were beaten up by the WWE Champion.

The rivalry has garnered the attention of the fans and it progressed significantly this week. While Orton is showing his vile side, Kingston is equally good and he is proving his worth as the holder of the most coveted prize of the blue brand.
