This week's episode of SmackDown wasn't really the strongest show
#3 Best/Worst: Some heavy hitters missing from WWE SmackDown this week

I just thought that Otis should have been on this week's episode of SmackDown considering that he's the current Mr. Money in the Bank and let's be honest, one of the most popular stars on SmackDown at the moment. I wonder if it has to do with the boat trip that Sonya Deville and Mandy Rose took recently, as a result of which Otis had to stay away too.

I am glad that Drew Gulak got screen time and he really showed us what he is capable of, but the time that was reserved for Sheamus and Jeff Hardy in the main event would have been spent better had SmackDown's more popular acts been on the show.
Imagine Otis cashing in his MITB contract in the Swamp Match#SmackDown
But maybe it's a good thing that Otis, Mandy Rose, Sonya Deville, and even Braun Strowman and Bray Wyatt weren't live on SmackDown considering that absence makes the heart grow fonder. Especially if you consider that the SmackDown audience of 2020 is a lot more fickle than it ever has been.
