#3 Storyline progression
The entire focus of RAW this week was the misuse of power by Baron Corbin. The General Manager elect fired Rhyno, made Heath Slater a match referee, and messed up with the babyfaces.
RAW's current golden storyline of Dean Ambrose vs Seth Rollins has been built well. WWE is also doing an excellent job of using Nia Jax's heat. RAW had a lot of weak points this week. However, the red brand played the rest of its cards well.
SmackDown LIVE has been impeccable with the storylines lately, and this week was no different. The tension between Asuka and Charlotte Flair built in their tag team match, AJ Styles and Daniel Bryan have elevated their feud to a higher level in this episode, and Samoa Joe & Jeff Hardy are officially in a feud now.
Even though RAW was not too bad this week regarding storyline progression, SmackDown LIVE was still better.
RAW - 0
SmackDown LIVE - 3
