Summary
With WWE continuing to mail it in on Monday nights, SmackDown on Tuesday has stepped up as the far and away "A" show over the flagship Raw program. Brian Campbell and co-host Adam Silverstein kick off the show by breaking down what exactly is wrong with Raw (6:56). The guys disagree off the top over the most recent development in the Dean Ambrose-Seth Rollins storyline (11:55) but come together on why Daniel Bryan's heel turn has worked so damn well on SmackDown and why the blue brand continues to hit them in the feel spot (30:25). Up next is Hero or Zero (42:04) where BC and The Silver King go head-to-head on WWE moving NXT TakeOver on WrestleMania weekend to Friday and whether Finn Balor is getting a push. The guys then take your DM slides (1:01:05) before closing out the show with their Feel Spots.
