10 Best Internet Reactions To Last Night's WWE SmackDown (May 22)
Hardy vs. Bryan though...
After an entertaining SmackDown Live last week, WWE headed to Worcester, MA for another action-packed episode of the blue brand show.
Considering this week's episode of Raw was a colossal disappointment, we were holding out hope that SmackDown Live wouldn't let us down. As always, the show came through for us. Not only did SmackDown Live blow Raw out of the water, it provided us with an instant classic between Daniel Bryan and Jeff Hardy.
If that wasn't enough to whet your appetite, then it's also worth mentioning that The Miz opened the show with a surprise installment of Miz TV, which went down really well with the audience.
Of course there were a few poor segments scattered throughout, but nothing too noticeable. Lana's Money In The Bank qualifying match against Billie Kay could've been better, but Aiden English's musicality on the microphone saved the segment from being a total bust.
As is always the case, the WWE Universe took to social media to voice their opinions on what they enjoyed and — perhaps more importantly — what they didn't enjoy about this episode of SmackDown Live.
No matter how entertaining SmackDown Live is or isn't, following along with social media users tends to make the whole experience more enjoyable.

There are fewer things in WWE more impressive than The Miz's microphone skills, and the A-Lister had ample opportunity to showcase them on the latest episode of SmackDown Live. The Awesome One opened the show, hosting a special edition of Miz TV, and our not-so-gracious host basked in his warm reception from the audience. Despite being a heel, the crowd never fails to cheer for The Miz.
Miz TV's guests included The New Day. The aim of this segment was to find out which member of the trio would be competing in the Money In The Bank qualifying match. The Miz attempted to get an answer out of the team, but to no avail. It was all very tongue-in-cheek, but it made for a great opening. Miz once again showed why he is one of the best heels in the business.
If only Raw could deliver opening segments like this. Instead, Monday nights consist of Roman Reigns ranting about how he's being robbed.
