5 Ups & 5 Downs From WWE SmackDown (Sept 11)

4. The "Champions Lounge"

That Street Profits vs. Cesaro and Shinsuke Nakamura match on Monday's "In Your Face" episode of Raw will no doubt be decent, but it'll also be completely forgotten about by next week. That, dear reader, means none of this recent brand invasion stuff matters.

The "Champions Lounge" is baffling too.

Raw and SmackDown are filmed in the same building, so it barely makes sense that Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins want to crash the SmackDown set. Why do they care so much about a room that's only tarted up on Friday nights for Cesaro and Shin? SO WHAT?

Presumably, this "Lounge" is just a regular room in the Amway Center that The Profits can visit whenever they like on Mondays. Writing them to get all excited about something Cesaro and Nakamura only do on Friday nights made the Raw Tag Champs look rubbish.
