7. Who’s The Jobber Here?

Here’s how bad WWE’s booking is these days: The six-man tag match pitting Jinder Mahal, Shanky & Veer against Jeff Hardy, Mustafa Ali and Mansoor featured six guys who collectively have won one match between them in the past month, and most of them have been winless for the past two months.

The trio of Shanky, Veer and Jinder have been particularly futile, but Mansoor & Ali have also struggled of late – because undersized babyface teams that lose a lot get over, PAL.

So naturally, it was Ali who ate the pinfall when his teammates weren’t available for a tag, falling to Veer’s lariat. It was a heatless match, save for the chemistry between Ali & Mansoor and Hardy’s innate charisma. So, of course they lost.

This was a total nothing of a match, as Jinder and his heavies will probably lose the next three weeks in a row.
