I have very few complaints about RAW, to be honest

#2 Worst: Not doing this angle on SmackDown

I'm all for this angle. But I would just have liked to see it happen on the blue brand. It just seems like everything of consequence happens on the red brand and not on SmackDown Live.

I mean, while you have the hottest angle in women's wrestling play out on RAW, Asuka has no credible contenders at all on SmackDown Live right now. The United States Champion R-Truth has not been seen in weeks and the United States Championship has felt unimportant ever since he won the title just a few weeks back. It would have made sense to carry out this angle on the blue brand since it pretty much began there.

WWE goes to FOX later this year and there's literally no excitement around the second brand. I think that this is a pretty significant mistake and could cost the company, over the long haul.
