Downs...

4. Wasted Time?

It's always important to stop and think about what WWE may have in mind for stories next. This is weekly TV, after all, so things can't move at a million miles per hour all the time. Segments do have to be entertaining though, and Friday's opening face-to-face between Logan Paul and Kevin Owens fell flat for this fan personally.

Maybe you feel differently, which is fair enough.

Logan is a sensational d*ckhead, but if there's no rematch with Owens then there's no rematch. Just move on. Of course, WWE will probs pivot on that, but another bout is a tough sell when they've already acknowledged that KO screwed up at the Rumble. Either way, this just wasn't a fun watch.

It was obvious these guys were sent out there with paper-thin material. That's why they resorted to Paul calling KO smelly, then Kev firing back that he'd bathed in Prime energy before that evening's show. Both tried, but they had nothing to work with.
