6 Ups & 4 Downs From WWE SmackDown (July 14)

Downs...

4. So, Why Is This Still Going On?

This entry could just repeat the subheading and be done with it.

Who knows why AJ Styles and Karrion Kross are still feuding? AJ has soundly beaten Kross twice on TV in recent months, and he even borderline squashed the guy just last week. Continuing the rivalry here screams "creative has nothing else for you", and that's agonising to say about someone like Styles.

Yours truly is a big fan of Kross, but he's been slotting into that old Bray Wyatt position lately. In other words, he makes all sorts of threats in promos and attacks others randomly, but then fails to come through in-ring when it really matters. He's another who deserves better than he's been getting.

To recap, Karrion has been thumped in pretty much all of his feuds since returning last year. It's almost impossible to take him seriously as a credible threat, especially when AJ tackled him with ease right before this Karl Anderson attack.

Meh.
