3 Ups & 6 Downs From WWE SmackDown (April 29)
1. Looking At The Positives
Right, so WWE going from a Tag-Team Title unification match between The Usos and RK-Bro to a non-title six-man that'd be at home on a house show is questionable. However, this writer prefers to look on the brighter side of the whole equation for now.
There's an argument to be made that WWE would've been making a mistake by dropping Drew McIntyre in as a last-minute challenger for Roman Reigns at 'Mania Backlash. His feud vs. Roman deserves times to develop further before they clash for the belt.
WWE can also keep that tag unification idea in their back pocket.
The pay-per-view six man has Randy Orton, Riddle, Drew, Roman, Jimmy and Jey. In other words, it'll be totally fine even if the writers keep those straps on ice. There's a ton of talent involved here, and it's impossible to imagine they'll produce a stinker come 8 May.
