Zelina Vega's return to TV has already been swept aside in favour of a tag-team feud that'll struggle without more of an explanation for why it's actually happening. Chaos was the main course on this week's show, which is fine, but Hit Row are already toiling a wee bit for house room.

They're blatantly a secondary concern to Legado del Fantasma.

A brawl and match between both teams was really too short to give a damn about, and the babyfaces don't have much momentum to speak of. That's a bit crap, because it looked like Top Dolla and Ashante Adonis might force their way into the tag title conversation soon-ish.

WWE has moved from Hit Row fighting with Maximum Male Models for next-to-no-reason to...Hit Row fighting with Legado for next-to-no-reason. Some promos from Zelina about what del Fantasma hopes to achieve would be nice.
