• The opening promo was great and this Cena, I like, but I don't know what Cena did to get a title shot. Anyway, if that promo between the three of them is anything to go by, the weeks leading to No Mercy and the event itself should be good.

• Another great promo between Miz and Ziggler. I actually hope Miz retains at No Mercy and we can see some big developments with Ziggler. He's been good so far, but I just feel a change of some kind is needed. He's spoken about it before but nothing has come of it.

• Corbin vs Crews, cool. But Swagger is on SmackDown! Sure, he looked like he was having some sort of midlife crisis and misses the good ol' days of 2001, with his backwards cap, baggy jeans and a chain hanging out of his pocket, but Swagger on SmackDown is great to see. I really hope this goes somewhere and he isn't just on SmackDown now to job to Corbin. If he is, then hopefully he can make Corbin interesting, because God knows Corbin can't do that himself.

• I can't help but feel that Becky Lynch is somewhat on the "generic face" side. I want to like her and she is good in the ring, but my God keep her away from a mic. Her voice just grates on me. She sounds like she smokes 40 a day. I know she can't help that, but maybe give her a manager to do all the talking for her or something. I dunno.

Also, I'm so happy that Bliss won. Really really happy. Do I think she'll win the title? At this moment in time, no. But that could change and if she is unsuccessful, the journey to get to the title match will be valuable training for her, both in the ring and on the mic. I'm really looking forward to what's to come.

• Seeing the SmackDown Tag Team Championships actually being carried around shows how good they look. They're so much better that Raw's. It's great that the crowd are so behind Slater and his story, even cheering him getting a bigger trailer. The Ascension was a surprise but job they did.

• Finally, I'm pretty disappointed that Hawkins' re-debut was just a backstage segment. I was really looking forward to seeing him in the ring.

Anyway, SmackDown was great as always these days. It's been the number one show in my eyes since SummerSlam. SmackDown just feels more "natural" so to speak. It's flows better and it feels like a totally different show to Raw, in a good way. Raw just feels like a chore to watch and I feel like I'm watching it now purely out of habit, whereas with SmackDown, I legitimately look forward to watching it and the fact that it's only two hours makes a huge difference.
