#2 Rotating midcard matches

A match that was surprisingly good.

R Truth vs Shinsuke Nakamura may not scream blockbuster match to you, but if WWE let these men have a few more minutes, they could've produced a Smackdown classic. But what made this match resonate with the WWE Universe was the fact that it was fresh, it wasn't another rehashed match fans have been seeing for weeks, as Smackdown's midcard doesn't operate like Raw's. As fans see a new match almost every week, and those matches end up delivering.

Moreover, the United States Champion taking on new challenges and not only the wrestlers he is feuding with is essential for the title's growth. While the reason for this match between R Truth and Shinsuke was really hilariously stupid, it was nice seeing a veteran like Truth get some ring time to show that he can still hang with a world-class athlete like Nakamura. And finally, the blue brand's creative team rotating their midcard matches every week will allow Smackdown to stay relevant every single week.
