2 Ups & 6 Downs From WWE SmackDown (Nov 13)
4. The Street Profits & Big E
Big E is excellent in-ring, powerful on the microphone and has more personality than 99% of wrestlers currently working, but he's lost in this whole Street Profits vs. New Day thing. Backstage skits between the threesome are barely scraping by, and they're doing little to actually hype the match.
Where is that fire Ford and Dawkins showed on the mic a few weeks back?
WWE decided to replace their menacing promises with more goofy comedy, and it's totally ill-placed. Arranging food into 'L' shapes so E can pick up on their bid to gain a tactical advantage is childish as f*ck; it's pro wrestling, sure, but come on. There has to be a better way to book E than this.
The worst thing about all this is that WWE will forget about it post-Survivor Series. E and The Profits won't mingle again - that makes it totally redundant. Someone needs to ask, 'Boss, how is this helping E as a singles project?'.
