3. The Feud Must Continue

It would be tempting to give an “up” for the Seth Rollins/Mysterio Family/Murphy saga moving over to SmackDown and getting out of our hair on Monday nights. But that just wouldn’t be nice.

Instead, can we just observe that the Rey and Dominik feud with Rollins is long since over, and switching brands isn’t going to “fix” it. The draft was a perfect opportunity to reset things by having either Rollins (and possibly Murphy since he now has an issue with Seth) or the Mysterios be drafted to SmackDown. It would have stuck a fork in this never-ending feud and let everyone head off in different directions.

But nooooo…. We have to ensure that Friday nights are filled with more eyeball poking and creepy DMs between Murphy and Aalyah. Sounds delightful.
