#2 Worst: Missed opportunity?

This was genuinely the worst thing on the whole show
I promise that this is the last time I will rant about this issue. The final round of the world cup qualifiers took place this week, as Rusev took on The Miz for the coveted seventh spot. Aiden English would rain on Rusev's parade and cost him the match.

At this point, there were 7 Americans in what is essentially being called 'The World Cup'. This is especially disappointing, because WWE had a chance to book a superstar from Bulgaria, who really needed a big push. Unfortunately, while the story was advanced with English's involvement, the concept of the cup somehow got derailed overall.

That said, I'm glad that Rey Mysterio made it to the tournament because of his Latino roots, lending some amount of credibility to the said contest. But let's be honest...even he's American.
