Sorry to any Miz or Logan Paul fans out there, but this feud isn’t doing it. And piling another “Rey Mysterio mask theft” onto the story isn’t exactly helping matters.

Rey & Dominik won their tag match against the Dirty Dawgs, with Dom pinning Robert Roode (gotta keep the NXT Champion strong!), but then Miz attacked Rey on the floor with a Skull-Crushing Finale.

As if that wasn’t bad, Miz inexplicably ripped Rey’s mask off, then proceeded to parade around backstage with it, talking to it like he was a Shakespearean actor. So now we’re supposed to really revile Miz and Logan Paul, right? Miz is what, the 15th person to steal Rey’s mask through the years?

It’s still a subpar rivalry with a match that’s going to probably overperform the low expectations and everyone will look back with rose-colored glasses about how incredible this feud was and how great Logan looked during it.

Just. End. This. Feud.
