Best and Worst of Smackdown Live: Dec 27th, 2016

#1 Worst: JBL blanks out!

We don’t really know if this was a botch on JBL’s part or if his mic conked off!

Suddenly as JBL was talking about Becky Lynch, before she took on Alexa Bliss for the Smackdown Live Women’s Championship, he stopped at a critical juncture- ‘There’s a reason why she was the first ever Smackdown Live...’ and suddenly stopped for no reason.

This left Mauro Ranallo and David Otunga guessing as to what she was first at. Was she the first ever draft pick? Was she the first ever Women’s Champion? Will she be the first ever two-time Women’s Champion on SmackDown Live.

Let us add a few more to this mix. Was she the first ever orange haired woman to confuse JBL? Was Becky the first ever woman JBL fell for? Nobody really knows! While we’re at it, Mauro Ranallo’s joke about how WWE’s most metal athlete, Baron Corbin is a fan of heavy metal band Baroness was not very good either!
