SmackDown's Fox debut finds itself in need of delivering an amazing Episode One as well as encouraging viewers to return for Week Two. Outside of using just about every legend in Vince McMahon's phonebook, one of the only number-crunchers for the company in WWE has been, bizarrely, the title of the least value.

Millions tuned in to watch R-Truth and Jinder Mahal fight on golf courses and airport tarmac, just as they did for Drake Maverick's wedding. As current Champion Carmella has been a fixture alongside the perennial titleholder, featuring in her here in short sharp shock segments between the meat of the two hour show could entice viewers to catch up on the hijinks a week later.

If nothing else, it's yet another story WWE could tell to lead to something on Sunday. At this point, Hell In A Cell needs so many shots in the arm that a 24/7 Title angle to embed within the event seems as worthwhile as anything else.
