11) Jinder Mahal Picked Up A Big Win
The main event of this weeks episode of Smackdown Live was Jinder Mahal, Kevin Owens and Baron Corbin vs Sami Zayn, Randy Orton and AJ Styles.
Jinder Mahal was able to score the pinfall victory over Orton to close the show. This is a big pinfall win against the man that he will face at Backlash for the title.

Certainly a confidence booster for Jinder heading into his title match. Does he have a chance to walk out of Backlash as champion? We will have to wait and see.
12) Smackdown’s Crowd Was Louder Than RAW’s
We noted prior that this weeks episode of RAW didn’t sound as loud as a typical crowd in London usually does. I don’t know if it was the sound being off or the crowd just wasn’t into the show.
This weeks episode of Smackdown Live sounded a bit louder. It wasn’t the typical noise that we are used to for UK crowds but certainly louder than RAW (in our opinion).
This crowd definitely better then last night #SDLive

Smackdown’s crowd is much better than last night’s raw #SDLive

The shows weren’t exactly incredible for both RAW and Smackdown this week so I don’t really blame the crowd in the arena.
