5. Say Something Interesting

This week's SmackDown was crammed with boring filler promos that said next to nothing, and it began with Randy Orton, Zelina Vega, and Andrade.

'The Viper' hit the ring, scaled a ladder, and claimed, shockingly, that he was going to win Money In The Bank. This led to Vega and Andrade's entrance. Zelina claimed that with the wold so sensitive about spoilers these days, she was going to spoil MITB with the revelation that - get this - Andrade was going to win! Yowie wowie!

Ali and Finn Balor weren't granted mic time. A shame, as we're sure they'd have had something equally groundbreaking to say.

Why did the writers bother scripting these segments if they couldn't come up with something interesting for the characters to say? Of course these gits think they're going to win MITB! We don't need dedicated airtime for that.
