5 Ups & 4 Downs From WWE SmackDown (Aug 12)

2. Nobody Thought This Through

The Usos Drew McIntyre

Karrion Kross and Scarlett burst back onto the scene last week by laying out Drew McIntyre and telling Roman Reigns that his time is running out as Undisputed Champion. Then, here, The Usos used Scarlett's distraction to ambush McIntyre from behind again.

Hmm.

That...sort of made it seem like Jimmy, Jey and Scarlett got together in the back and put together a plan. This obviously wouldn't make sense, because Kross is gunning for Roman, but WWE should've gone out of their way to make it crystal clear that the heels aren't aligned in any way whatsoever.

Little logic loopholes like this are annoying, to be honest. Michael Cole or Pat McAfee only needed to point out that The Usos were probably planning on blindsiding Drew anyway - instead, they kept quiet, and that made it look like Jimmy and Jey colluded with Scarlett.
