Ups...

6. Baby Steps For This Feud

WWE wants to get to Final Testament vs. Pride on the undercard at 'Mania. To get there, they need matches-come-angles like the one here. Being honest, the feud has flip-flopped between good and bad since it started, but Karrion Kross going to a DQ with Bobby Lashley because the warring factions got involved?

Yeah, that works.

Kross and Lashley are the two big fish in this pond anyway, so seeing them throw one another around like big meaty men doing big meaty men things is perfectly fine. Personally, this fan liked seeing the heels stand tall at the end too. Karrion and mates need more menace; this was a step in the right direction.

B-FAB dealing with Scarlett suggests they'll be in the ring come 'Mania too. That's fine if their spots are carefully constructed. WWE can't be expecting Bianca Belair vs. Bayley levels from these two. One or two bumps should be fine.
