4 Ups & 9 Downs From WWE Raw (Nov 2)

3. Falling Off To Nothing

Just over a week ago, Tucker was at the center of a fairly notable storyline, turning on his Heavy Machinery teammate Otis and costing him the Money in the Bank briefcase, complaining that he was an afterthought of the team.

Fast-forward to Monday, and Tucker was the “already in the ring” competitor facing Ricochet, almost unrecognizable in plain black tights and his long, plastered hair just hanging down. If it wasn’t for his tights reading “Knight” (Tucker’s former last name) and Tom Phillips saying his name, this writer would have been convinced it was an NXT trainee.

Worse, Tucker lost to Ricochet in seconds, falling in less than a minute. Then, he was jumped by RETRIBUTION and completely forgotten about. Whereas you would have thought that Tucker would have remained on SmackDown and had at least a TV feud with Otis, he instead looked like a jobber and jobbed to guy just one step above a jobber.

WWE: We build stars… except for all the times we don’t.
