Yeah, the big WWE SmackDown surprise was ruined by a spoiler hours before the show aired. It was further ruined by Michael Cole's enthusiasm coming across as artificial when Finn Balor came out to the ring.

That said, nothing could dampen the occasion as Finn Balor reminded the WWE Universe what a star he is by taking the fight to Sami Zayn this week. Let's hope his WWE SmackDown run is booked as well as his NXT run was!

#2 Worst: Did Roman Reigns have to tap out?

WWE already made Bobby Lashley look weak heading into WWE Money In The Bank when he took a pin from Xavier Woods. On WWE SmackDown, we saw Roman Reigns, a man who's seemed absolutely bulletproof until now, tap out to Edge.

This was a move that could have been avoided because it just makes him seem weaker than he had been presented thus far on WWE SmackDown. It's also a clear indication that Edge is losing Sunday's big match for sure.
