5 Ups & 4 Downs From WWE SmackDown (22 May - Results & Review)

2. Precious Little Of The MFTs Fare Is Interesting

Damian Priest and Solo Sikoa worked hard, but they didn’t hit the heights of another match involving the MFTs group earlier in the show. Not only that, but the whole story is just so painfully dull. Why doesn’t Priest trust Royce Keys when he’s been given no reason to doubt him? Why do WWE view Solo’s MFTs idea as important enough to dominate airtime every single week? More questions than answers, people. More questions than answers.

Triple H would presumably argue the point that he's trying to turn Sikoa into some younger version of Roman Reigns, but he should be laughed out of the room if he dares bring that up. Solo has already shown that he lacks the true menace needed to be a top villain in WWE. Most of his best characteristics as an onscreen personality are comedic, and that's just the way it is.

The dude's screaming to break out into a role that fits him better than 'Wannabe Tribal Chief'. Just how long will creative bang that drum before they realise the skin's flapping around and it's barely making any sound? They should've learned their lesson long, long ago, put it that way.

Spare a thought for Priest too. He's gone from credible headliner to someone who's barely getting a response from live crowds on the undercard unless he's teaming with R-Truth. That pair's tag title run is also in real jeopardy of sinking in a hurry unless something dramatic happens sooner rather than later.

Yeah, in a nutshell this wasn't very good.
