4 Ups & 5 Downs From WWE SmackDown (June 2)

Downs...

5. Just A Useless Waste Of TV Time

Seriously, what was the point of this?

Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson rolled over the top of Hit Row with ease, and that doesn't make much sense at all. No, nobody's saying the latter group deserves much of anything when Top Dolla, Ashante Adonis and B-FAB haven't clicked, but surely Gallows and Anderson are on this roster to elevate teams?

If WWE doesn't think they can do that for Hit Row, then...don't program them together. It's senseless, and it made for a short match that still somehow felt like it lasted an eternity. Hit Row are a bit of a lost cause generally, so it also doesn't sit well that they got TV time whilst newbies like Cameron Grimes and the Isla Dawn/Alba Fyre combo had to feed on scraps.

Word to the wise: Gallows and Anderson gained nothing from beating Hit Row with their Magic Killer finish. It'd be better if The OC was working with a team WWE actually had high hopes for. Otherwise, they're just breezing through TV time for the sake of it.
