7 Ups & 5 Downs From WWE SmackDown (Oct 14)

4. Booking Themselves Into A Corner

It definitely seems like WWE is content to book itself into a corner with this upcoming Braun Strowman vs. Omos feud. Yes, Braun needed to do more than feud with random tag-teams every week, but it's also true that creative should've given this idea a bit more time in the oven.

A loss for either party could cause irreparable damage.

Braun losing would make his comeback feel pointless, and MVP would have a giant who's going nowhere fast should Omos stare at the lights himself. He was supposed to be WWE's new giant, don't forget - Omos was a successor to Braun more than anything.

Now, the company has turned back the clock and wants to act like Strowman is the man to beat? Fair enough, but they'll need to be very careful that this doesn't totally wreck their plans for either man long-term. It really could do that.
