How SmackDown Live After SummerSlam 2018 Struck Gold With Its Promos 

#6 Daddy's Already Gone Night-Night!

Last but certainly not the least, we arrive towards the saga of Samoa Joe and WWE Champion AJ Styles.

After absolutely stealing the show during SummerSlam 2018, Renee Young interviews AJ Styles to follow-up from last night. We get it, last night didn't go the way AJ had exactly planned it to be. However, The Phenomenal One certainly didn't regret beating the hell out of his current rival Samoa Joe.

Samoa Joe attacks him from behind. He puts him in a clutch. Styles won't be getting up anytime soon.

He urges the cameraman to focus on him. Joe calls out Wendy Styles & just like I mentioned before, SmackDown Live just might be 'The Land of One-Liners' at this point:

"OHHH WENDYYY! *pause* It seems like we're making a lot of promises tonight, including one to come home & tuck in the kids! But guess what...DADDY'S ALREADY GONE NIGHT-NIGHT!"

Samoa Joe's dialogue delivery is top-notch

Joe's line delivery is right on point. Here's another Film/TV reference for you: The way Joe delivered the above quote totally reminded me of Jack Torrance from Kubrick's cult-horror classic film 'The Shining'. Trust me, the similarities are very unsettling.

If sequences like this happen every week, then Joe and Styles' feud might end up being one of the greatest professional wrestling rivalries of all-time.

So that was it. Well, not completely it. The main event was an absolute riot. But this article only concerns about showcasing the value & variety of live promos on SD Live.

This week's SD Live found the right balance between comedic and serious undertones in promos. Hence, the reason why SmackDown is the 'A-Show' and has always been so in recent memory...
