Retribution was out for retribution on this week's WWE SmackDown
#2 Worst: Sheamus vs. Baron Corbin in a heel vs. heel feud on WWE SmackDown

It looked like Corbin’s luck may have turned last week on #SmackDown but apparently not.Corbin loses to Sheamus after a Matt Riddle distraction.Corbin’s latest accomplice, Shorty G, was also laid out earlier in the night.Six years and 49 weeks of bad luck remain. pic.twitter.com/aarKG2ciXX
There is no doubt at all that Sheamus and Baron Corbin (or King Corbin if you will) are two of the most exceptionally gifted performers in the WWE SmackDown roster at the moment. However, they are at their best when they are working with babyfaces because there is such a natural sense of heat that they draw from the WWE Universe. As disrespectful as this sounds, the match between Sheamus and Corbin on WWE SmackDown was a snoozefest with neither party especially being a favorite of the audience sitting at home.

Yeah, Jeff Hardy literally just walked off and left Sheamus and Corbin to fight.Absolute nonsense.#WWE#SmackDown
There is a joke among the writers at Sportskeeda that WWE cannot do two solid episodes of WWE SmackDown in a row, and that was certainly evident on this week's show, as the heel turn from Shorty G last week turned into a feud that very few will honestly have a legitimate interest in.
I worry about Matt Riddle who is a legitimate star and could be ruined by this current program.
