7 Ups & 2 Downs From WWE SmackDown (Nov 27)

Ups...

7. Real Heels Cheat

Now, the good stuff.

There's a ton of it to get through, including Robert Roode being a no-good, cheating scumbag against The Street Profits in the opener. This played out exactly how one would expect, but that's not a bad thing - sometimes, predictable booking trumps everything else, especially if it makes total sense.

Roode grabbing a fistful of tights on that roll up did. It builds that heel street cred mentioned earlier that Corbin lacks right now, and it should lead to some scattered comeuppance during a few well-worked SmackDown Tag Title bouts soon. Bring that sh*t on, 'cause Roode and Dolph Ziggler are ideal challengers.

The above should be tempered by something else though. The Profits surely don't have long left as giddy good guys. WWE run the risk of turning them into New Day-lite, like Big E said a few weeks ago, if they don't turn heel themselves soon.

A feud with Roode and Dolph is fine for now.
