<h2 class="has-text-align-center wp-block-heading"><strong>WWE SmackDown Takeaways</strong></h2>



<h3 class="has-text-align-center wp-block-heading"><strong>1. Surprising Showstealer </strong></h3>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="alignleft size-large"><img decoding="async" src="https://i.imgur.com/Ew9PEU5.jpg" alt=""/></figure></div>



<p>The best feud on WWE programming now is the one featuring Dolph Ziggler, Otis, Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville, and it couldn&#8217;t be any more surprising. All four individuals along with Tucker, have elevated this to a gold mine and WWE is making sure they get all the spotlight they deserve.</p>



<p>Ziggler&#8217;s character, who loves Mandy and is trying to win her back by siding with Deville, is amazingly hilarious, while Otis continues to be the bucketload of charisma. Deville has emerged as the star of this feud and surely is next in line for a title shot.</p>



<p>Otis&#8217; entry into the MITB will surely make for an interesting turn of events, and with both the ladder matches taking place at the same time, chaos is guaranteed.</p>



<h3 class="has-text-align-center wp-block-heading"><strong>2. King Corbin&#8217;s Yet Another Army</strong></h3>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="alignright size-large"><img decoding="async" src="https://i.imgur.com/oQ6M5Xg.jpg" alt=""/></figure></div>



<p>A new month and a new set of lackeys for King Corbin. He has been part of a variety of three-men stable at this point, and it is getting extremely stale. With <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://api.wrestlingworld.co/rumors/wwe-intercontinental-champion-staying-away-from-smackdown-due-to-covid-19-concerns/" target="_blank">Sami Zayn out of action due to COVID-19 concerns</a>, WWE has decided to give his buddies to Corbin for the time being, who are continuing the tired trope of 3-on-1 beatdown.</p>



<p>The Lone Wolf carrying a barrage of superstars with him all the time is senseless, and WWE must start booking him in proper 1-on-1 feuds in the coming months. He has good potential of being a top heel for a long time, but these three-man bands are just not cutting it.</p>
