Majority of the blue brand’s weekly episodes seem to be operating on autopilot at this point. The “Roman Reigns’ attacker” angle keeps us hooked for next week’s show, but apart from that, there are not a whole lot of noteworthy moments to care for.

Yes, WWE did manage to tick a few boxes from the ratings and viewership point of view as it managed to garner 3....
On the road to Survivor Series, NXT has been the most dominant brand, and it wasn’t different on SmackDown this week.

The aura that The Undertaker managed to create, his ability to morph and change with time and the way he protected his character, make him an icon. ‘The Phenom’ has given WWE fans memories that will last a lifetime. The ‘Streak Vs Career’ match at WrestleMania 26 between The Undertaker and Shawn Michaels, where the two Superstars took the fans on an emotional roller coaster ride, his brutal Hell In A Cell encounter with Triple H at WrestleMania 28, where the two men pushed each other to the limits of endurance, and his bloody bout against Brock Lesnar at Hell In A Cell in 2015, will be etched in the minds of WWE fans forever....
While the journey of the man named Windham Lawrence Rotunda has seen more downs than ups, it seems that Wyatt’s career is finally back on track.

The men’s side of things was not short of drama. Shinsuke Nakamura won a highly entertaining Men’s Royal Rumble Match to start the year with a bang, but that almost felt like his own downfall.
