7 Ups & 3 Downs From Last Night's WWE Backstage (Nov 5)
3. No Holds Barred
A high quality format that will do a great deal for every character and angle they cover on the show, the quick hits conversations on some of current key talking will do far more for many of the performers than the bloated moments on Raw and SmackDown.
Donating two minutes to the Championship future of The Fiend Bray Wyatt and the uncertain one of Seth Rollins, the crew spoke quite frankly about the praise and criticism both characters have recently had to face.
Wyatt was mostly showered in plaudits from the panel, whilst Rollins took yet more lumps, constructive as they may have been. Paige in particular echoed a lot of the online narrative working against him, whilst Booker's beautifully inarticulate "he needs a buffer to cover up the flaws he do have" wasn't as wide of the mark as it may have sounded.
