10 Simple Ways To Improve WWE SmackDown
10. Ditch The Raw Replays
If you tune into SmackDown at the moment, it is impossible to get past the feeling that you are seeing something unloved. Rather than it focusing on what is happening on that show, WWE seems to have an obsession with filling it full of Raw replays.
Last week's show recapped Seth Rollins' return on Raw, Miz qualifying for Money In The Bank and Charlotte and Ric Flair's break-up: not to mention shorter recaps of other feuds. That's all over the course of a two-hour show.
If SmackDown is going to be seen as an important part of WWE TV, then it needs to stop focusing on Raw and start focusing on itself - something that the brand split should allow. Video packages are an important part of wrestling - you can't assume that everyone has watched every show - but surely SmackDown should recap what has happened on SmackDown?
