1. Called Up For Nothing!

Cameron Grimes would be forgiven for asking questions of Triple H himself.

Is this honestly what 'The Game' called Cam up from NXT for? He was better off on the 'C' show, for crying out loud. Working a mini-feud with Baron Corbin that went nowhere, teaming with Dragon Lee for exactly one week and jobbing like his name is Barry Horowitz is a shameful waste of talent.

This was the worst kind of squash too, because it didn't even do anything for the guy going over. Grayson Waller and Austin Theory need to be involved in a proper, fleshed-out tag-team rivalry. Instead, they're burning through nothing matches, and they're locked in a listless mess vs. Kevin Owens for no good reason.

It really sucks to see. Get a grip, WWE creative. Firing out squash matches onto one of your top programs with this lack of foresight is simply unacceptable. If it doesn't help anyone involved, then it shouldn't be booked. Simple as that.
