It was all about the “moment” in the ring between competitors on this week’s episode of Smackdown Live. Superstars like AJ Styles and Carmella made a point in their own way to ensure the crowd knew they were ready to bring home gold. The card was wild and intense in every direction and with the new titles ready to be awarded at Backlash, everyone had a motive to reveal that they’re championship material.
