5. Wasn’t Digging This Wyatts Win

The Wyatt Sicks Motor City Machine Guns

First, the negatives from Friday night.

Wyatt Sicks members Dexter Lumis and Joe Gacy beat the Motor City Machine Guns in a frankly bang average tag scrap. The story being told for Uncle Howdy’s gang doesn’t make much sense either. So, they think there was a lack of respect and brotherhood in the SmackDown tag division before, and now they’re combatting that by kicking the crap out of everyone? That’s messy. Even despicable heels can’t talk about togetherness whilst causing division. Where's the logic?!

Maybe that’s deliberate to show how out there The Wyatts are and this fan just isn't getting it, but having them job out everyone who’s been competitive in the division en route to The Street Profits could be risky. Something just didn’t click for this guy when watching the show. Perhaps others feel different and explain what's going right over yours truly's head!

Lumis seemed to forget the finish too, which didn’t help. There's a chance they were going for the idea that Howdy calls plays mid-match and changed things on the fly, but it didn't work. On camera, it merely looked like Dex went for a pinfall when he wasn't supposed to before landing a top rope leg drop.

There's nothing altogether threatening about The Wyatt Sicks when the lights come on and they're working regular matches like this one. They lose a lot of menace in a hurry, put it that way. Cue more monotonous wins over DIY and Fraxiom before they tangle with Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins, possibly at Night Of Champions or on the next SNME.
