7) Rusev Defeated Aiden English (Quickly)
Smackdown Live featured a match between Rusev and Aiden English. This comes after their beef over the past few weeks. The match didn’t last long, with Rusev forcing Aiden to tap out.
I will be honest with you, I was expecting the blow-off match to be longer. This one lasted only about 2 minutes and was disappointing.

8) Rey Mysterio’s Entrance Without Pyro Isn’t The Same
Rey Mysterio was the guest on Miz TV this week. One thing I noticed was that Rey’s entrance is a bit bland without the pyro that he used to have. Rey’s entrance used to be one of my favorites.
He is one of the WWE stars that is most impacted by the lack of pyro on a weekly basis.
.@wwe Rey Mysterio’s intro is just not the same without pyrotechnics. Sort it out please!While I’m on my soapbox, bring back Truth TV permanently!!! #SDLive

No pyro makes his entrance a little bland.

9) Rey Mysterio Defeated The Miz Prior To The WWE World Cup
Smackdown ended up featuring a match between the Miz and Rey Mysterio. The match was eventually won by Rey Mysterio, who hit the 619 and a splash to get the victory.
Both will be participants in the WWE World Cup. Rey has a lot of momentum heading into the event.
