The latest episode of WWE's 'SmackDown' delivered a mix of action and intrigue, with a few notable moments that left fans with a lot to discuss. The main event, a tag team title match, was a bit underwhelming, but there were other highlights that made it an entertaining show.
The Tag Team Title Match: A Missed Opportunity
The Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championships were on the line, with MFT challenging the Wyatt Sicks. While the match itself was intense, the outcome was somewhat anticlimactic. The brawl that ensued outside the ring was impressive, but it lacked a clear winner and didn't provide a satisfying resolution. It's a shame, as a victory for MFT could have led to a more exciting storyline, especially with the potential for a rematch or a 10-man tag team match.
Feuds and Rivalries
Damian Priest and Aleister Black: Their ongoing feud showed no signs of slowing down, with a heated brawl that hinted at a potential singles match at the Royal Rumble. However, the long-term viability of this rivalry is questionable, despite the talent of both superstars.
The Miz and Joe Hendry: The Miz's angle for a match with Joe Hendry on the next 'SmackDown' episode is a smart move. Hendry's debut in WWE could be enhanced by The Miz's experience, and their match could be a highlight of the show.
Cody Rhodes and Drew McIntyre: The feud between these two is heating up, with Rhodes' passionate promo targeting Nick Aldis, the SmackDown General Manager. While the rivalry is unlikely to extend beyond the Royal Rumble, a WrestleMania match would be a dream for many fans.
Women's Tag Team Title Picture
Nia Jax and Lash Legend's victory over the Kabuki Warriors was a significant moment, potentially shaping the future of the women's tag team title scene. This win could be a stepping stone towards a more prominent role for these wrestlers, and it will be interesting to see how WWE develops this storyline in the coming weeks.
Holiday Season and John Cena's Retirement
The holiday season and the recent retirement of John Cena might contribute to a more relaxed atmosphere in the coming weeks. This could allow for some creative storytelling, with the show potentially taking a different direction as the year draws to a close.
