Listen, the opening moments of WWE SmackDown are a great indication of how things will go down at the WWE Day 1 pay-per-view event. One of two things is guaranteed to happen.
Either Paul Heyman sides with Brock Lesnar and helps him become the Universal Champion or he claims that it was all a ruse. The second surprise is more likely to keep Roman Reigns as the face of WWE SmackDown.
Look who just shut down all of Tony Khan's critics! More HERE.
#2 Worst: Poor Drew Gulak
Ad
Drew Gulak is one of the most talented professional wrestlers in the world and can do things few others can. And yet, he is presented as little more than a jobber on WWE SmackDown in the few weeks where he gets TV time.
We've seen how entertaining he can be when he is allowed to be himself and we've also seen how competent the man is when the bell rings. The tweet that he put out when he was eliminated almost seems like a cry for help, from the person, not just the character.
