They have a real problem with how insanely weak the roster is.

Cesaro and Owens need to go to smackdown immediately if they want to attempt to balance it out a bit

I can't tell whether this is a step up for Ziggler or a step down for the title.

Ever have a co-worker who, if you find out he likes something that you like, you like that something a little bit less? That's JBL.

I want to like the result. I just don't. Ambrose vs. Ziggler is the type of match that feels like #4 billing at best on any PPV, and it's for the WWE Title at SummerSlam.

Or they could just stare at each other for the next few weeks.

And is AJ being punished for Reign's drug test? Why does he seem the guy to get pinned in every match?

I guess I just hate hotshotting in general. If they want to reboot a Ziggler push then fine, give it a go. It worked with Mark Henry when nobody could have predicted it would. But pulling off a fluky-looking win in a multi-man is a bad way to do it, especially for a small guy.

Ziggler sells the idea of SD being about "opportunity" and there's some interesting stuff you can do with his character being back in the title scene after being close so many times. I think it's a good result.

Overall the show was kind of meh, save us Shelton etc.

I like how they're adding unpredictability into their main event scene, I would never in a million years believe you if you told me Ziggler was gonna win that match.

The point of booking is to be reasonable while also being at least somewhat unpredictable. A five year old can book unpredictably. As could a random number generator.
