#2. Best: Not opening the show with the same half-an-hour format

We mentioned that we didn't like the stipulation. However, the match in itself wasn't bad and that was for a very simple reason - it was short and to the point. Last week, the same six-man tag team match between The Bloodline and King Corbin, Dolph Ziggler, and Robert Roode took place but the contest went on for half-an-hour - a quarter of the show.

It was clear that the match was dragged on far too long and it not only led to a boring contest, but it resulted in an overall boring show. Roman Reigns opened the show but WWE chose to have the first match as the #1 contender's Fatal-4-Way bout.

This turned out to be the right choice as it was more fast-paced, happening and had a reason to be invested in it. John Morrison and the Miz winning that match was the obvious pick - but the right one.

As a result, we'll be seeing The New Day defend the SmackDown Tag Team titles against Morrison and The Miz at Super ShowDown.
