5 things WWE SmackDown Live should bring back on FOX

#4 SmackDown Fist

During the early to mid-2000s, SmackDown used to have a large fist structure above the entrance ramp. This setup was done in a way that made it look as if someone punched through a wall and cracked it hard, as can be seen in the above picture.

This fist was synonymous to the blue show and really added to the overall feel and atmosphere of it. When WWE went HD, the fist was scrapped and it got replaced with a large HD screen on top of the entranceway.

The SmackDown Live FOX logo has an old school feel to it, cementing the fact that WWE is trying to go back to their old ways. Hopefully, WWE decides to bring the fist back and add a nice touch to the overall atmosphere of its weekly SmackDown Live shows.

#3 The wrestling show

Although things are still pretty neat on the blue show when it comes to in-ring action, there was once a time when fans dubbed it as a true wrestling show. While Monday Night Raw used to be mostly about the theatrics, engaging angles, and story-heavy content, SmackDown Live used to focus way more on the wrestling aspect.

It would help the company a great deal if it attempts to turn the blue brand into a wrestling-heavy show again. What should be nixed to make way for that? Storylines that go on for a long time without any payoff, an overload of humor, and not featuring younger stars in a regular capacity. Now that young guns like Ali and Murphy are getting the spotlight more, we'll hopefully see SmackDown go back to being "the wrestling show".
