As always, let's get the crap out of the way first.

Someone in WWE needs to speak up and suggest that interview segments like 'A Moment Of Bliss' and 'Miz TV' get the old heave-ho, at least for a while. Friday's latest example, which had Naomi attempting to justify online support from fans whilst Miz and John Morrison ripped the p*ss out of Seth Rollins for puking, was hard to watch.

These talk show-style skits have become so stale it's unbelievable. They rarely serve much purpose (when was the last time Miz or Bliss had someone on their show that they were actually feuding with?) or entertain for their 10-15 minute durations. In short, they're a complete waste of everybody's time.

Miz and JoMo work their juvenile humour well, but they absolutely did not need to be involved in things between Naomi and Lacey Evans. They were shoehorned in for the sake of it, and that's just lazy, uninspired booking.
