6 Ups & 3 Downs From WWE SmackDown (Sept 1)

1. Where Did The OC Go?!

Yes, Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson warned AJ Styles about mixing it with The Bloodline early in the show, but then they vanished into thin air later. Seriously, what was up with that? Jimmy Uso kicked AJ's butt to end SmackDown, and The OC were nowhere to be seen.

You'd think they'd still have their leader's back even if they thought tangling with Solo Sikoa, Jimmy Uso and the like was a bad idea. Instead, Styles was left on his lonesome to take a loss and then a post-match kicking from Jimmy. Meanwhile, Anderson and Gallows shuffled their feet backstage.

Will this lead to tension in the group? If so, WWE better be prepared for few to give a toss about that. They've already squeezed the in-fighting fruit dry with The Bloodline and Judgment Day over the summer. Besides, OC hasn't really had enough focus to make that story worthwhile.

Weird.
