3 Best Things That Happened On Smackdown Live

After an interesting and shocking show that Monday Night Raw was, Smackdown Live was pale in comparison, but it cannot be called a bad show at all.

With WWE Evolution scheduled for this Sunday, the creative team didn't hype up Evolution on Smackdown as much as it did on Raw (except the altercation between Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair at WWE's Performance Center). The storylines were mainly focused on Crown Jewel and WWE World Cup.

There was a great segment between The Miz and Rey Mysterio and the in-ring quality of the matches was brilliant, with Rey Mysterio tearing the house down against the Miz, and Randy Orton continuing to display his sadistic side ahead of Crown Jewel in a match against Jeff Hardy.

Here are the 3 best things that happened on Smackdown this week.

#3 Randy Orton's Sadistic Attitude

Randy Orton's run as a babyface WWE champion was one of the worst runs that he had in his entire career. Since Orton has turned heel he has become one of the most sadistic heels that WWE has had in a long time.

He gruesomely attacks his opponent, he has been attacking Jeff Hardy's ear since their rivalry began and it was seen in this match also.

There's no denying that Randy Orton has emerged to become one of the dominant heels on Smackdown Live, with his viciousness coming to display again in his match against Jeff Hardy tonight.

Randy Orton defeated Jeff Hardy and it showed that he is one of the favourites to win the WWE World Cup at Crown Jewel.

It seemed that the feud between Hardy and Orton came to an end at Hell in a Cell but judging by what happened tonight it doesn't look like 'The Viper' is done punishing 'The Charismatic Enigma'.

#2 Rey Mysterio and The Miz

Rey Mysterio is one of the best in-ring performers.

Rey Mysterio was the guest on Miz TV. It was a really interesting segment, Miz delivered insults about Mysterio being a little man and reminded him that it isn't the 90's anymore.

The Miz also said that no one wanted to see people like Rey, they would rather see a larger than life character like The A-Lister. Both men were great on the mic and it eventually led to a match between them.

The match was a really good one with both the performers giving everything they had. Rey's dive from the bottom rope was amazing. When you look at Mysterio perform all his moves in the ring, it is sometimes easy to forget that he's 43 years old.

I think this rivalry will continue for quite some time or at least till Crown Jewel where the two might face each other in a WWE World cup match.

I personally want Rey to win this tournament as it will solidify his return and also prove that he is still a credible threat to the rest of the roster.

#1 The Performance Center Altercation

Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair will steal the show at Evolution

Becky Lynch's run as a heel is one of best runs that she has had in her career and her feud with Charlotte Flair is only helping her to become one of the most dominant heels.

The feud between these two women has helped the Smackdown's women division to be relevant and interesting once again. The division was really uninteresting when Carmella was the champion.

The brawl between Charlotte and Becky at WWE Performance Center has hyped up their feud to the next level. We can be sure that these two women are going to tear the house down at WWE Evolution and their match could possibly be the best match of the night.

This match main event-ing Evolution has a very low possibility but I personally want this match to close the night.

WWE Evolution will happen this Sunday. Who do you think will emerge victorious between Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch? Please leave your opinions in the comment section.
