SmackDown: 4 things WWE got right on this week’s episode (Dec 6, 2019)

#3 The King & The Big Dog

The main event of the night saw Roman Reigns take on Dolph Ziggler in a one-on-one match in the build-up to his rivalry with Baron Corbin.

During the match, we saw King Corbin head out to oversee the proceedings and was carried out on a throne to the stage by his security staff.

While Ziggler did well to try and pick up the victory, going as far as to deliver a ZigZag, a Superman Punch to Corbin followed by a Spear to Ziggler allowed The Big Dog to pick up the victory.

After the match, Corbin’s security team attacked Reigns and The Showoff handcuffed Reigns to the steel post. Corbin continued to beatdown Reigns and the two heels dumped dog food on The Big Dog.

While the segment wasn’t all that good, the idea behind the segment was pretty clear. Reigns now seem like a bigger, more sympathetic babyface, while Corbin is the most despicable man in the locker room.

The two men will battle at TLC 2019, and we can expect Reigns to overcome the odds at the event to pick up a huge victory and move on to another rivalry.
