Here are 15 things that we learned from Smackdown Live this week:
1) Jeff Hardy Teased His ‘Brother Nero’ Character
Smackdown Live this week kicked off with Jeff Hardy. Jeff says that he feels ‘Broken’ now that he has lost his U.S Title. He also teased that Nakamura will render himself “obsolete”.
Sure sounded to me like he was teasing his ‘Brother Nero’ character. Would be great to see him go that direction.

2) Heel Nakamura Is Awesome
Shinsuke Nakamura was interviewed backstage after Jeff Hardy’s comments about him. Nakamura says that Hardy is a sad clown, among other things. One thing was very clear to me, heel Nakamura is money.
Talk about a great character change. Really digging Nakamura as a heel and am excited for his run as U.S Champion:
Heel Nakamura is going to go down as one of Vince McMahon’s greatest decisions.#GodBlessAmerica #SDLive

I don’t want to see Nakamura as a face again. He’s perfect as a heel right now. #SDLive

3) Smackdown Live Featured A Dream Match
Smackdown Live this week featured a WWE dream match. AJ Styles faced off against Andrade Almas. This is a match that a lot of fans have wanted to see since Almas was called up to the main roster.
Paige always seems to deliver as GM!
