3 Ups And 6 Downs From Last Night's WWE Smackdown (Dec 6)

4. The Feud Continues

Almost immediately, it was time for the third match on the show - The Hype Bros versus Ascension. This match has happened a few times over the past few months, and it raises red flags immediately - either Brock Lesnar or The Undertaker is coming out to beat everybody up, or the writing team really need to kill some time.

It turned out to be the latter, and The Ascension and The Hype Bros just had a match (after some bizarre inset promos). It was nothing you haven't seen before - just a lot of clubbing by Konnor and Viktor leading into a hot tag to Mojo Rawley and the Hype Ryder for the win.

The fact that this match wasted a segment was bad enough, but the time that went to it could have easily gone to the tag team title match in order to make that longer and better. I don't think anyone would have minded if this was left off the card.
