Before he was planted through the announce table by Brock Lesnar, new boy Dio Maddin asked a question that's far too logical for modern-day WWE storytelling.

He wondered aloud how Brock can just quit SmackDown willy nilly and jump to Raw. It didn't take long for Vic Joseph (who's quickly becoming that emotionless commentary robot Vince McMahon likes) and Jerry Lawler to shut him down. Yeah, Dio. Don't dare let logic get in the way of this drive for ratings.

Side note: Paul Heyman's explanation that Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross left a hole on Raw's roster for Lesnar was typically flimsy too.
