I love that Wai continues to talk about Finn working with a better midcard when all the good smackdown talent went to Raw. It’s just getting away from Baron, because if Sheamus comes back they’ll love that Big vs Little Irish clash

Depends on who they use. Andrade is still on smackdown, Alister Black is there, Randy Orton could feud with him. Buddy Murphy is there now as well. I think is just different matchups that are good for Finn, plus Smackdown has a smaller (size wise) roster of guys, which match up well with Finn.
