4. Picking ‘Em At Random

Karrion Kross is now feuding with Rey Mysterio because Scarlett's tarot cards said he should.

Does that tarot stuff fit the pair's gimmick? Yes. Is this is a flimsy way to set up matches between Kross and Mysterio? Also yes. Look, they'll be sparkling big man vs. little man diversions, but the whole thing feels a bit messy right now considering both have business elsewhere.

Kross is still yakking about putting Drew McIntyre in his place once and for all, and Rey still hasn't finished his own story with Dominik and Judgment Day. Christ, WWE literally just booked Dom to wreck Thanksgiving in the Mysterio household, and there's no payoff for that? None?!

This will go one of two ways. Either creative will expect fans to forget about Karrion vs. Drew and Rey vs. Dominik completely, or they'll try to mix those feuds in with this new one. Being brutally honest, that's really rather clumsy.
