How was the go-home episode of SmackDown Live, before Clash of Champions this weekend?
#1 Worst: Same angle as RAW

The whole locker room emptied to take out the Riott Squad on SmackDown Live
We had thought that the whole purpose of the brand split was to differentiate one brand from another. Unfortunately, the events of one brand simply seem to mirror themselves in the other, very regularly.

Much like the whole women's locker room emerged to take Absolution out on RAW, the women of SmackDown Live united to take out the Riott Squad. This is just an example of not thinking out of the box, and not trying hard enough, creatively.
The worst thing WWE can do at this point is repeat the same storyline across two shows, aired in the same week. Another angle we did not care about was the return of Naomi, who was gone in the blink of an eye.
Had she come back after a longer break, the pop for her would have been significantly much louder!
