4 Ups And 4 Downs From Last Night's WWE SmackDown (June 4)

Ups...

4. Neville Outsmarted The New Day To Beat Kofi Kingston

There was a fun match between Neville and Kofi Kingston because it felt fresh. The booking of the match was really creative because they told the story of how Neville might have some difficulty getting out of there with the win since Kofi's New Day buddies were at ringside. It led to some fun spots like when Neville hit a moonsault on Kofi and Big E outside the ring. Neville also knocked Woods off the apron leading to a pinfall sequence where he countered a Kofi move by sitting on top of him. Neville makes everything look so easy in the ring. He's one of the best in-ring performers in WWE and he proves it every time he's in there whether he gets five minutes or if it's a longer match. Give Kingston a lot of credit too. He worked as a babyface for his entire career until this recent heel turn and he's done a great job at it. That's not always easy for a wrestler to do, but Kofi has adapted well. It's unlikely that Neville or Kingston will win the Money in the Bank contract ladder match. However, they'll definitely make it exciting with some big spots. That's what they're in there for.
