4) Shelton Looked Awesome In His Return
This week marked the official in-ring return of Shelton Benjamin. WWE fans haven’t seen him since 2010. Benjamin is 42 years old, but looks like he hasn’t aged a bit!
Shelton looks to be in the best shape of his career and put on a great performance. Great to see him back in WWE and can’t wait to see more from him (and Gable):

5) The Benjamin-Gable Team Has A Lot Of Potential
Benjamin and Gable defeated the Ascension on Smackdown Live. After the match, I was left with a lot of excitement about this new tag team. A fun mixture of youth and experience. Can’t wait to see more from them and possibly even a Tag Team Title match in a month or two.
I am not the only one. Many fans shared this same excitement on social media:
Benjamin and Gable might be my new favorite tag team in #WWE #SDLive

6) Tye Dillinger Answered The U.S Open Challenge (But Didn’t Last Long)
This weeks episode of Smackdown Live featured a United States Open Challenge from AJ Styles. The call was answered by Tye Dillinger. After some interference from Baron Corbin, we finally saw Dillinger and Styles face off. Unfortunately for fans excited about this match-up, it didn’t last very long.
Styles defeated Dillinger in a few minutes to retain his title.
