One would expect the final episode of Friday Night SmackDown in 2019 to be exciting and newsworthy, but instead of closing out the year on a high note, WWE ended it with a whimper. Graham "GSM" Matthews breaks down the uneventful episode and gives his thoughts on Elias randomly opening the show, Mustafa Ali's cool vignette, the various start-and-stops with the Universal Championship number one contender's match, why Braun Strowman pinning Shinsuke Nakamura didn't mean as much as it should have, Sami Zayn returning to in-ring action, Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville teasing tension and Rose's ongoing angle with Otis, Lacey Evans' excellent character work on Moment of Bliss and the subsequent tag team matchup, and Daniel Bryan reigning supreme in an entertaining main event.
