9 Ups & 5 Downs From Last Night's WWE SmackDown (29 Nov)
8. Roman Reigns Is WWE's Top Babyface
In big old letters as a big old sign of respect to WWE for getting their guy over once and for all in 2019 after all looked very realistically lost one year earlier.
Reigns smashing the living sh*t out of Robert Roode and Dolph Ziggler in the post-match must have felt as cathartic for the man himself as it sounded in the SmackDown stands. Fans were electric for some admittedly typical beatdown beats. Spears through barricades and table spots are commonplace within WWE's weekly churn, but they felt important across the broad shoulders of 'The Big Dog'.
Baron Corbin - the rotten coward - will get his medicine by the end of the year and it'll cap off a carefully curated one for Roman ahead of a huge 2020. Royal Rumble season should reflect his return to the top of the card. This time, please dear god this time, let the reactions towards him be more positive than last.
