Best and worst of SmackDown Live: 12th December, 2017

#2 Worst: Production fails

Someone was having a bad day in the production truck

During the 'Yep Movement' segment where Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn were in the ring, Daniel Bryan emerged from the back. Long before his music did, unfortunately. It was almost awkward to see him wait for his music to hit, so that he could initiate the 'yes' chants.

There was yet another production botch, where we saw a glimpse of the arena but there was an awkward pause before anything of note took place. WWE rarely gets their production messed up, so this was quite an anomaly.

"This Sunday, my partner and I will do EVERYBODY a favor when we make sure those two idiots lose their jobs!" @RandyOrton is all confidence ahead of #WWEClash. #SDLive @ShinsukeN @FightOwensFight @SamiZayn pic.twitter.com/lHu3xkenax

Speaking of which, can we also mention the fist bump fail between Orton and Nakamura? That was almost hilarious to behold, on live television.
