Best and worst of SmackDown Live: 15 August, 2017

#3 Worst: Wasting a really big opportunity

And now, we come to the main story from the show — Now, we finally come to the main story from this week's episode of SmackDown Live

At the conclusion of the main event on SmackDown Live, Baron Corbin cashed in his Money in the Bank contract, and still could not become champion. We do not know why WWE put the contract on him, to begin with, instead of someone who could have used it, like Zayn, and why he would cash it in, in such a manner, during a random episode of SmackDown Live.

This was the only real 'eventful' moment from the show, and should get people talking on social media, very soon... so that's a positive, in our opinion.

However, we honestly believe that WWE could have used the contract to actually try and tell a story... something that will not happen thanks to the events that unfolded this week! In our books, this will count as a lost opportunity.
