3 interesting observations from this week's SmackDown Live (August 27, 2019)

#1: Why Kevin Owens' attempt to beat up Elias created a plothole before the 24/7 title madness set in

Elias' run as 24/7 champion has been bittersweet, to say the least.

There are moments of brilliance which are overshadowed by plotholes so gigantic that you couldn't even brush them aside despite this being a slapstick act.

Because showcasing a horde of Superstars chasing the 24/7 champion only seems necessary when it is convenient. After all, nobody attempted to pin Elias while he was busy relaxing in Shane McMahon's office.

Even when Kevin Owens attacked Elias and stunned him in the ring, there seemed to be an extended pause with Elias back-first, as Owens stared at the 24/7 champion with the title around the latter's waist.

That was Owens' moment to become the new 24/7 champion, and even though The Prize Fighter wouldn't fit in with the tone of the shenanigans associated with the title, one couldn't help but think that last night's events were too convenient to pan out the way they did.

It seems like suspension of disbelief only works up to a certain extent of silliness, even by 24/7 title standards.
