5 awesome things which happened on SmackDown Live this week - 17 July 2018

#3 Sanity and The New Day shine

Major props to New Day for giving Sanity the momentum they need

Although rumors are circulating of The New Day splitting up every day of the week - when Big E, Kofi Kingston, and Xavier Woods step through that curtain it's hard to deny that they don't shine as a well-oiled machine or pancake throwing machine in this instance.

And even if you find the pancake throwing Booty O product placement overdone and over the top, it still manages to ignite a chuckle from time to time.

While on the other hand Sanity is a team that is the polar opposite of The New Day as they thrive off chaos, beating up people for no reason and look like they belong on the set of Mad Max, you know they are really 'original.'

On this week's episode of SmackDown Live, New Day veteran Kofi took on Sanity head honcho Eric Young in a blistering match.

This match might have used the usual tropes that happen during every singles match involving factions, but it was inherently fun and just enjoyable to watch as Young and Kingston pulled off some daring offenses that thrilled the audience.

This match only further adds to the complaint that it is truly unfortunate that Kofi Kingston has not received a huge push by now, as the man has the charisma and in-ring ability to be World Champion at some point in his career.

But Kofi being Kofi naturally made Young look great in this match, this only brightens Sanity's star, as they rampage through the SmackDown Live tag team division.

At this point, the only thing left to make Sanity a force to be reckoned with on SmackDown Live is their missing link - Nikki Cross, she will hopefully join her crazed buddies on the blue brand soon.
