First, the bad. It was awful.

WWE decided to bring the curtain down on Drew McIntyre and Sheamus as a tag-team, then quickly move on to hyping next week's multi-man for a crack at GUNTHER's Intercontinental Title. Man, give things some room to breathe, please. Drew and Sheamus going their separate ways was enough of a story.

Senselessly cramming Karrion Kross, LA Knight and New Day in on the action didn't do the ex-'Banger Bros' any favours. Why not have Drew and Sheamus go one-on-one next week, and hype the drama surrounding that, rather than wrestling's latest 'chuck everything at the wall' approach?

The main problem with these revolving door promo segment is that fans don't listen to anything people involved have to say. They're far too busy waiting on the next piece of music to hit. It was a really strange call to book the Bros' breakup during a busy skit like this.
