What a night of wrestling on Smackdown! From one of the greatest contract signings in recent memory between AJ Styles and John Cena to the Lunatic Fringe becoming the 2 time WWE Intercontinental Champion, Smackdown Live managed to once again outdo RAW as the WWE’s premiere wrestling show. I genuinely feel bad for the amazing performers on RAW as their only crims is being on a 3 hour show. 2 hours is the perfect amount for a good combination of storytelling and in ring action.
Smackdown also gave us a memorable Ziggler heel turn the emergence of Carmellsworth and not one, but TWO La Luchadoras!

@NewAgeInsiders @WWE Good show man. Cena on top of his game. AJ on mic is as good as anyone around. Corbin looks great and surprise ending
