WWE Smackdown Live Recap 8/21/2018 – Things That We Learned

7) Corey Graves Took A Small Shot At Dave Meltzer

In case you missed it, there was some controversy last week when journalist Dave Meltzer made some comments about Peyton Royce’s appearance. It appears as if Corey Graves took a little shot at Meltzer with his commentary, saying:

“I’ve followed The IIconics since NXT and both Peyton and Billie have never looked better.”

8) Peyton Royce Picked Up A Much Needed Win

Smackdown Live this week featured a match between Naomi and Peyton Royce. This marked the first time that Naomi has been on Smackdown in what feels like a few months.

Peyton ended up picking up the win. I don’t know about anyone else but this seemed much-needed for the IIconics. They have not been booked as threats and I feel like WWE should build them up a little better. Naomi’s time will come but this was a much-needed win for Peyton and the IIconics.

9) Fans Don’t Want To Boo Becky Lynch

Becky Lynch cut a promo this week. This comes after she turned on Charlotte Flair at Summerslam. One thing was clear from her promo. Fans do NOT want to boo Becky Lynch.

This made for quite the awkward heel promo attempt as the crowd just cheered her. This is going to be a tough sell.
