Best and Worst of SmackDown: Face and heel turn in 1 night, Champion's title reign too boring to continue?

Rey Mysterio faced Jimmy Uso on SmackDown this week while Dominik Mysterio promised to keep an eye out for Jey Uso. It was a fast-paced, action-packed match-up that saw luchador legend Rey Mysterio pick up the victory thanks to a smart assist from his son.

It was done the same way that The Usos have been using to get their victories - with one brother sticking their leg in to force a pinfall. It felt like the Mysterios got even, but that won't happen until they regain the SmackDown Tag Team Championship, presumably at SummerSlam 2021.

#3. Worst: A comedic way of setting up the SummerSlam main event

The SummerSlam main event was always going to be Roman Reigns vs. John Cena, but WWE had a comical way to get to it on SmackDown. The contract signing was between Reigns and Finn Balor, with the former signing the contract.

The Tribal Chief even seemed to have a slight bit of respect for Finn Balor - at least more than he did for John Cena. While Balor was on the verge of signing, Baron Corbin came in and took him out without any explanation. Cena simply took advantage of the moment and used a ridiculous loophole by signing his name to the contract.

Paul Heyman argued to SmackDown officials Adam Pearce and Sonya Deville that it shouldn't be valid since the contract was tailored with Finn Balor's name in it. Pearce said he just needed the signature and now Cena vs. Reigns is official.

It's a great match to headline SummerSlam but a ridiculously silly way to make it official.
