WWE SmackDown: 4 mistakes WWE made this week (18th October 2019) 

#2. There wasn't a single heel victory

All of the faces were victorious this week on SmackDown

This week's episode was stacked with the buildup to Crown Jewel as well as introducing the WWE Universe to the new roster on the blue brand following the draft. Nikki Cross became the number one contender to the SmackDown Women's Championship, The New Day and Heavy Machinery drew first blood whilst Roman Reigns and Daniel Bryan continued to solidify their union as a duo.

The one thing that stood out throughout the episode was the fact that no heels were victorious. In fact, the only real heel that was given any kind of spotlight was Bayley, who's promo came across as robotic since she went with the usual excuse that she decided to turn heel because the WWE Universe had forced her to it.

The faces seem to have the upper hand heading into Crown Jewel, which could be a hint at who will be coming out victorious in the Middle East. Or, it could just be WWE's booking being underwhelming once again and the company didn't notice that all of the faces were given the spotlight and none of the heels were able to stand out.
