Best and worst of SmackDown Live- 3rd October, 2017

#2 Worst: The scripting

'Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me'. Such are the words said by a man who dubs himself 'The Artist'. If feeding some of the most awful verbiages to Jinder Mahal wasn't enough, now Nakamura's cool quotient is being brought down too!

The scripting, especially for the Mahal-Nakamura feud has been extremely underwhelming indeed. Unfortunately, because of the same, there is absolutely no heat for the top prize in the division right now. The feud could have been so much more personal than it is.

When Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor use aspects of wrestling promos to sell their fights, we wonder why WWE refuses to do the same. After all, they invented it!
