I’m glad that Smackdown Live addressed this issue straight away and took care of it. Shane McMahon opened the show by announcing the match as well as all the participants and what a great lineup we have this time around. Kevin Owens, AJ Styles, Shinsuke Nakamura, Dolph Ziggler, Sami Zayn, and Baron Corbin – stacked is an understatement.

There were also some really good segments to build up the existing rivalries between these six men as well as hyping up the pay-per-view which is four weeks away, as well. They even set up the WWE Championship rematch between Randy Orton and Jinder Mahal.

The only negative I would say is that there is still no sign of Rusev and the company seems to have abandoned their plans for pushing The Bulgarian Brute into the WWE Championship picture.
