Downs...

3. “Fix This” By…Attacking Cameron Grimes?

First, some 'Downs'.

Corey Graves said that Solo Sikoa and Jimmy Uso ambushed Cameron Grimes because Roman Reigns was furious about the fatal-4-way announcement last week and wanted them to "fix this". Erm...how does attacking Cameron fix anything, and in what world is a poorly-booked Grimes part of Roman's ongoing business?

This was a strange choice. Surely, attacking AJ Styles, LA Knight or Randy Orton to open the show would've made more sense. Y'know, seeing as all three are key threats to Reigns heading into Royal Rumble in a few weeks. Instead, The Bloodline troops wrecked a scheduled match between Grimes and Grayson Waller.

Gee, that'll show everyone! Maybe this wouldn't have been so glaring had Corey been less insistent that Solo and Jimmy were going after Grimes to "fix" something. Their attack achieved pretty much nothing, so this was an odd choice of wording from the typically-slick colour commentator.
