Long gone are the days of the big chrome fist protruding from the entrance stage backdrop. Also, we will likely never see another era of Smackdown like the time when The Rock was at the pinnacle of his storied career.
However, since the 2016 Brand-Split, and network restructuring, combined with the fact that Shane McMahon and Daniel Bryan are leading the charge, the once stagnate Smackdown is now thriving more now than it has in over a decade.

With a roster including superstars like Styles, Orton, Wyatt, Becky Lynch, and The Miz, just to name a few, Smackdown has the talent to give the brand a strong run for years to come.

About the author
J. Carpenter
Jonathan Carpenter is a pro wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda. After obtaining a degree in political science from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, he started writing WWE articles in 2016. Jonathan believes integrity is vital in journalism and ensures his work is high on accuracy. He conducts in-depth research and verifies information from various sources before curating a feature.
Jonathan has engaged in many meaningful conversations with prominent pro wrestling personalities like Drew McIntyre and DDP. He grew up in Memphis, admiring Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan during WWE’s Golden Era in the ‘80s. He has attended many pro wrestling events and credits The Hulkster for making his childhood memorable.
Jonathan, a big fan of Bray Wyatt, would like to see the latter's brother, Bo Dallas, continue his legacy as Uncle Howdy. If he were to work on the storyline, Jonathan would book the return of Erick Rowan as Howdy’s muscle. He thinks it would be a great way to honor the former Universal Champion.
When not writing pro wrestling features, Jonathan likes to collect sports memorabilia and has amassed a large collection of event-used and autographed relics over the years.
