6 Ups & 3 Downs From WWE SmackDown (Oct 2)
1. Next Week On TV (Not Pay-Per-View)
No, no, no, no, no, no, NO.
Bayley vs. Sasha Banks should not be happening on free television, and it definitely shouldn't go down next week if it's just going to end in some screwy non-finish that sets up a rematch at Hell In A Cell. That's unnecessary, especially when this feud has the chops to headline a major pay-per-view.
It's one of the top storylines on SmackDown, and deserves to be treated as such. Sasha's promo, whilst solid (largely because she didn't pander to the audience like a typical WWE babyface), should have been building towards HIAC rather than some 2020 Draft special episode. That's not a big enough stage.
Again, this mainly sucks 'cause WWE will use it as a preview for things to come. It'd be much better if Bayley and Banks didn't touch one another until they were locked inside a cage or working some sort of gimmicky brawl.
