These days, when I watch SmackDown, I feel like I'm watching some kind of "spiritual successor" of that past Monday's Raw. Also, maybe it's just me but it feels like recently SmackDown has shown less matches and more Raw Recaps and SmackDown Recaps of the previous week.
I'd blame the mentality the WWE has for years in regards that almost all the effort has to be given to RAW and everything else is ignored or half-assed.

Its shown with the preference for recaps, draft, and "Supershows" were always meant to benefit RAW while Smackdown either was always rebuilding or got minimal attention.

The only benefit Smackdown got was since Vince and co didn't bother that much with the show, it could take the time to build new stars or even show off more wrestling in matches. That basically changed once the WWE sent Orton and decided Smackdown had to be just like RAW with their own "Cena" and recap-filled mess.
