22 WTF Moments From WWE SmackDown Live (July 19)
7. Double Booked!
Why are WWE's fabled creative teams booking two rivalries exactly the same? Zayn/Owens and Natalya/Lynch are carbon copies of each other.
Yes, the men have their 14-year backstory to legitimise their cause, but all they do these days is attack each other and do that punching sequence before it's broken up. Same goes for the ladies. Sneak attack, brawl, separation.
The foursome are just fighting for fighting's sake. That's not good storytelling. In fact, that's not storytelling at all.
There needs to be more in both of these rivalries, especially the ladies. Don't get me wrong I love seeing a good old fashioned brawl, but I can't believe two main roster rivalries are playing out the same while they're both on television at the same time.
