Yes, I do get why WWE has to resort to replaying old matches considering the overall situation of the world at the moment. But I just have to say that I am not a fan of replaying old matches in their entirety when a lot portion of the SmackDown audience has already subscribed to the WWE Network and do not want to see their paid content replayed for free on WWE SmackDown. Moreover, there are so many ways to kill time creatively, and more importantly, the audience may tune out if they see old content on SmackDown.

Next week's #SmackDown will feature a full re-run of Wyatt vs Strowman from Money In The Bank.#WWE really struggling to fill these shows.
I wasn't even a big fan of the package that promoted the swamp fight between Bray Wyatt and Braun Strowman because it just felt like SmackDown went through the motions with it. Obviously, it was well made, as one would expect from WWE.
Somehow, the fact that 'the horror show' is repeated so many times during the broadcast just lessens the impact of the same quite significantly indeed.
