WWE

The Bang Bang Scissors Gang entered the ring for a segment and did less than nothing.

Remember when the Road To series was on YouTube, and the promos or video packages were so fantastic that they should have been broadcast on Dynamite? But there was no room on Dynamite, which was almost all killer at its peak? Well, those days are f*cking dead.

The idea, presumably, was to simply reinforce the "bond" between the teams before Bullet Club turn again to add heft to the conflict. In reality, this was a nationally televised post-show dark segment where the babyfaces riff and thank you all for coming. A definitional waste of time that advanced nothing.

The Acclaimed badly need to return to the tag team division because while all available data must confirm that they're still valuable - otherwise they wouldn't be marched out to do sh*t like this - none of this is good or purposeful and when they finally get in the ring, the fans don't react much to their formula match. The Swerve In Our Glory and FTR belters were a long old time ago.

Unify the belts, base the Trios division on exhilarating action again, reinstall Daddy Ass as manager.
