4 Ups & 4 Downs From Last Night's WWE SmackDown (Oct 31)
3. The Good New Days
Making sure to dominate social media shares as they so wisely often do, The New Day again made the most of the season to draw nostalgic pops from crowd members of a certain age with their detailed renderings of Jimmy Hart, Akeem and Brother Love.
Big E entering the ring to 'Jive Soul Bro' would have perhaps caused Twitter to explode, but all three still maximised their minutes in the throw-back roles, particularly during a riotous backstage segment with Rusev and Aiden English.
It's been well documented how quickly The New Day fall out of favour when not fighting for titles. The trio were brightly coloured spare parts on Monday Night Raw for much of 2017 before their April switch, and now face employing these big gestures to avoid slip-sliding into irrelevancy on the blue brand.
It's to their credit also that they managed to front-and-centre themselves during the '#UnderSiege' segment on Monday's Raw. Becoming increasingly apparent how little they'll have to do on the night itself, it's helpful that they at least managed to feature in the big angle that kicked it off, even if they'll be nowhere near its ultimate conclusion.
