Best and worst of SmackDown Live: 5 Dec, 2017

#3 Worst: No AJ Styles

We hope he's not working the Brock Lesnar schedule

What makes AJ Styles such a great representative for the SmackDown Live brand is the fact that he shows up every week, unlike the Champion of the other brand. This week, he didn't.

It's a little unfortunate that such was the case, considering that his match against Jinder Mahal is only mere weeks away. There has been very little build for the match, honestly speaking.

Look who just shut down all of Tony Khan's critics! More HERE.

We would have loved to see Jinder Mahal too. Maybe get his take on why he attacked The Singh Brothers, last week.

Instead, we got nothing at all, really.
