What is it about SmackDown that makes it a far superior show to Monday Night Raw?
Sure, it is not live and there is rarely anything in the way of major angles. Yet, it is a much faster-paced show in which everything feels like it is meaningful in the context of the story being told.
There is no filler to be found and the tired, boring, stale franchise player John Cena makes only the occasional appearance, allowing the spotlight to be shone on Superstars such as Ryback, Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins, Dolph Ziggler and Erick Rowan, all of whom played key roles in this week's broadcast.
The remnants of The Authority were desperate to regain anything even close to resembling momentum just nine days away from the TLC: Tables, Ladders and Chairs pay-per-view.
To do so, Seth Rollins and The Big Show would have to knock off the duo of Ryback and Erick Rowan, both of whom have been on tremendous rolls in the wake of the Survivor Series.
How would the duo fare as SmackDown invaded Oklahoma City for this week's broadcast?
What about the rest of the roster? Who would emerge as winners and losers leading into the final pay-per-view of the year?
I'm glad you asked.For the second time this week, Erick Rowan earns the winner label. Not because of a stellar performance, mind you, but because he continued to reap the rewards of being treated like a legitimate star by WWE Creative.
Prior to Friday's main event, Rowan received the star entrance, arriving to the ring after partner Ryback. Add to that the fact WWE's crack production staff did a fairly solid job of piping in the canned heat and it was abundantly clear the company has major plans for the character they have taken to referring to as "Big Red."
Whether he can breakthrough the proverbial glass ceiling in a way others, including Ryback, have not been able to remains a mystery.
What is not is Rowan is already succeeding as a singles star at heights no one could have imagined.
