Best and Worst of SmackDown Live Before SummerSlam

#1 Worst: Ruining a great match

Can we please do away with the split screen for good?

There was a lot of hype about Jeff Hardy's big return to wrestling. Hardy took on Benjamin in a pretty fantastic match. As one would expect, he picked up a win after a pretty hard fought battle. Unfortunately for him, most fans were distracted during the course of this fantastic bout.

So during Jeff Hardys hyped return to action match not only was there a commercial but they split screen it to hype Alexa/Ronda. And in doing so end up missing The Whisper In The Wind connection... thanks @WWE ... #SmackDownLive #SDLive

The dreaded split screen returned and showcased Ronda Rousey's match for SummerSlam. In my honest opinion, whoever decided to make this decision deserves to be DELETED for good.
