6 Ups & 5 Downs From WWE SmackDown (Mar 27)

Downs...

5. Missed Opportunity

Mandy Rose Dolph Ziggler
WWE

There's another week to go, sure, but why isn't Mandy Rose the special referee for Otis vs. Dolph Ziggler at 'Mania? That addition makes total sense, and it'd help the match stand out from an increasingly-busy weekend of action. Maybe (hopefully), WWE will tack that on during the 'go home' episode.

They'd be fools not to.

Mandy is a massive part of the storyline and has been since the beginning. It's not enough to have her stand there and say she doesn't want the boys fighting over her, because they're already fighting over her. Seriously, put her in a striped shirt and settle this once and for all.

This feud has been aimlessly drip-fed for too long, and some of the minor details (like Rose occasionally coming across as a heel) are hurting Otis' great fire and Ziggler's fine work as a d*ckhead baddie.
