Best and worst of WWE Smackdown- 11th October, 2016

#2 Better utilisation of a limited roster

There is far better character development in this show than Raw

Be it the Usos pulling every dirty trick in the book to defeat the American Alpha, or Naomi getting wins on two consecutive nights, or even The Wyatt Family scoring a much-needed win over Kane and Randy Orton, Smackdown seems to work with their roster far better than Raw does.

This is why more of the Smackdown roster seems ‘over’, as compared to the red brand, every week. Think back to when any of these 3 talents/units seemed relevant. Not for a while now! The booking and creative have ensured that it’s not a case of 50-50 booking or meaningless wins over teams like The Golden Truth.

Insane Vince McMahon ideas that got canceled - Watch Here!

The right talent is being pushed and protected in the Blue Brand, every night.
