7 Ups & 4 Downs From Last Night's WWE SmackDown (Oct 23)

4. Miz TV Sets The Table

Rey Mysterio still has that new toy feeling. Last week's scrap with Shinsuke Nakamura perhaps wasn't to level we'd have expected, but it's just great to have the beloved lucha libre icon back on our screens. This freshness will help elevate everything he's involved with, at least for the next few weeks, and that's exactly what it did last night, taking a relatively standard edition of Miz TV to the next level.

'The A-Lister' was his usual gloriously obnoxious self, though he did reach for the low-hanging fruit by taking shots at the wee man's size, claiming that "people are over you, and into larger-than-life stars like me." Mysterio clapped back by claiming he thought he'd be booked for Truth TV. This peeved Miz, and even moreso when Rey claimed he came back to compete, not mess around on talk shows, leading to the host jumping his guest.

Though Miz technically declined the request (and was run off after the ambush), we got their singles bout out of it. That marks Miz TV as a logistical success. The promos also delivered, and Miz/Mysterio is a fun clash of personalities, marking this as one of the show's stronger moments.
