I can't be the only person to have gotten bored of the whole Elias vs. King Corbin feud on SmackDown. While I enjoyed the fact that Elias scored an upset win over the King on this week's SmackDown, I have to wonder if it is wise because King Corbin needs to look strong before he takes on Drew McIntyre on RAW.
Dana Brooke scored an upset win over Naomi but I didn't really think that the match was anything to write home about. Also, if she is being groomed to challenge Bayley for the SmackDown Women's Championship next, I wonder if enough character development has been done in her case for fans to back her as the babyface over Bayley, the heel.

SmackDown- My overall take
Despite all of the issues that I have listed, I thought that this week's episode of SmackDown was really good as a TV show. I was not bored from start to finish, and that's all you can ask for, really.
Do check out Sportskeeda's tribute to The Man, Becky Lynch.
