5 things SmackDown Live Does Better Than RAW

RAW had its time in the sun. Let’s talk about what SD Live does better

You only need two hands to have a fighting chance

RAW is boring. It’s not bad, necessarily, but it’s long, unfocused, sloppy and boring. There is too much filler both in the ring and out. Why have 5 backstage segments about the same show-long story arc if only 1 or 2 of them are actually going to advance the story?

Outside of Owens & Jericho: Best Buds, the show is devoid of fun. SmackDown has Slater & Rhyno, AJ Styles is cutting the best promos of his life, Miz and Ziggler’s passionate performances and there’s minimal involvement of the show’s authority figures.

Can’t forget James Ellsworth, either. RAW is the same as always, plus, it’s three hours long, which is so often very hard to get all the way through in one sitting.
