3: Backstage segments
Ad
One complaint levelled at Raw's 25th-anniversary shows was that the whole thing relied far too much on backstage 'comedy' segments. WWE clearly took this criticism on board, because SmackDown 1000 basically featured nothing in the way of backstage segments.

The segment featuring Paige, Teddy Long, and Vickie Guererro was a nice touch, and it would have been nice to have seen a few more interactions like this throughout the night.
We saw Jeff Hardy chatting to Rey Mysterio ahead of his match with Shinsuke Nakamura, but they could have turned this into a little surprise by having Matt Hardy make an appearance as well, for example.
