Downs...

4. Back Where They Started

Los Lotharios bizarrely jobbed to Shinsuke Nakamura and Rick Boogs (who weren't even a proper team back then) in a short squash a few months back. This fan hated it then, and he detests that Angel and Humberto are seemingly right back where they started now.

Sure, WWE wants to build Shin and Boogs up for The Usos at 'Mania, but it doesn't sit right that the Lotharios are being overlooked. What was the point of that mini-feud vs. New Day in February if they're no further forwards after it? Creative didn't really think that one through.

Or, maybe they just don't care about the latino lovers.

This match wasn't bad, but it does feel like WWE's priorities are all over the place. They'll forget about Boogs and Naka as a team soon enough, whereas Angel and Humberto looked like they had a real shot at relevancy. Sad.
