Best and Worst of SmackDown Live Before SummerSlam

#2 Best: A journey through time

I really liked how the story of The Miz and Daniel Bryan was told

WWE needed to drive home the fact that the match between Daniel Bryan and The Miz wasn't an ordinary contest. This was a battle that has been years in the making, stretching back all the way to NXT. This was a battle that intensified because of what happened on Talking Smack.

Told in three parts, this was a rather immersive journey. It did make me more excited for the contest than I was. I daresay this match has the best build among all of SmackDown Live's SummerSlam matches.

Expect the two men to put on a real clinic at SummerSlam. I am certain that this match could steal the show, if both men are given time to shine.
