5 things WWE got right on Smackdown Live this week

#5 The Perfect Finish

Just give us an RKO and wrap up the show.

Randy Orton will undoubtedly go down as one the greatest wrestlers to ever step into a ring, as everything Orton did during his career is regarded as legendary to fans right now, as the viper has entered a stage in his career where he is too respected to be hated.

Even though Orton had done some outstanding work as a heel when he battled Jeff Hardy, fans just enjoyed Orton for his perfect characterization than actually hating the man. That is why when Orton won the right to enter the WWE Championship Elimination Chamber match last; fans weren't angry that he did very little achieve that, cause it fit his character perfectly.

Orton literally came out of nowhere to RKO the hell out of AJ Styles to pick up the easiest victory of the year; this was the perfect ending to the well-structured match. And while some fans out there would that this match was just a carbon copy of the gauntlet match on Raw last year, the truth is that Smackdown did it better.

The main issue with Raw's famous gauntlet match was that it was pointless, as there was no real goal to be achieved in that two-hour long bout, while Smackdown Live's version solved that issue by creating stakes for this match. So from Kofi's exceptional performance to Orton using his intelligence to pick up an easy win, WWE did a great job with this finish, which capped off a rather good episode of Smackdown Live.
