7 Ups And 9 Downs From Last Night's WWE Raw (Nov 23)

4. Biggest Win Followed By Another Loss

Welcome to WWE, Tyler Breeze, home of 50/50 booking hell. Sunday night at Survivor Series, Prince Pretty picked up the biggest win of his young career, defeating Dolph Ziggler. The announcers made sure to point this out on Raw. Then Breeze promptly took the loss in a tag match with Kevin Owens against Ziggler and Dean Ambrose, with Ambrose pinning him. One step forward, one step back. Why? What was the purpose of putting Breeze into a short tag match where he was going to get pinned? Were they short heels for the night? Were Bo Dallas, Adam Rose, David Otunga and Miz all unavailable? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ca2Xi9zOBUQ Yes, WWE is trying to move ahead with an Owens/Ambrose program for the Intercontinental Championship, which could be awesome, but sputtering Breeze€™s momentum wasn€™t the smart way to do it.
