Do you think the writers just sit in the back figuring out the worst ideas they can come up with and then execute them?

After John Cena showed exactly how it’s done – call out the person you want to face at WrestleMania – Miz went through an awkward and embarrassing scenario where he said he didn’t have an opponent, but Kurt Angle was going to send out someone who might face him at the PPV.

Out came Seth Rollins, who defeated him in a competitive match. And then out came Finn Balor, who also beat Miz in one-on-one action. So you just defeated your Intercontinental Champion twice in one week at the hands of two guys who will most likely face Miz for the IC title at Mania.

Yeah, that’s some real clever booking there guys. As much as Rollins and Balor might deserve a title match – and this writer isn’t saying a triple threat between them is a bad idea – it’s how WWE is going about getting there. You’d think they could have paid attention to the previous segment.
