8 Ups And 8 Downs From Last Night's WWE Raw (Nov 30)
Downs...
8. Why Are They Fighting Again?
Someone needs to explain why, after beating Dolph Ziggler cleanly in less than 10 minutes at Survivor Series, did Tyler Breeze feel the need to face Ziggler again? Thats not to say that another match between them isnt okay, just that doing it again without any reason just looks foolish. Had there been at least something anything from either man to set this match up, it wouldve made sense. Dolph could have pointed out that Breeze took the pinfall in the Intercontinental Championship #1 contenders match on Smackdown (or that Breeze broke up Dolphs pinfall on Dean Ambrose), or Tyler could have noted that he knocked Ziggler out in the same match. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1nA1FRj7nPs This is an example where even a short inset promo (now that WWE periodically uses them again) would have made perfect sense and cleared up why we got a Survivor Series rematch after a noncontroversial conclusion.
