#4 Why are Damian Priest and The Miz being wasted like the way they were at WWE WrestleMania Backlash?
Damian Priest and The Miz were set to compete in another match at WWE WrestleMania Backlash. The two RAW Superstars were looking to put a possible end to their long-running rivalry at WrestleMania Backlash.
The Archer of Infamy chose a Lumberjack Match as the stipulation. However, WWE delivered a massive surprise by teaming up with Army of the Dead to bring in some Zombies as the Lumberjacks. This was a rather odd choice for a company that needs to do away with such gimmicks to emphasize its main product.

Priest managed to take down Miz with Hit the Lights, and the zombies attacked Miz following the match.
The match left a bad taste in the mouth for many fans. Priest and Miz have already had a very long rivalry that should have ended at WrestleMania 37. Adding such a stipulation made matters even worse.
Should WWE be taking such co-branding opportunities while downgrading its product? Priest and Miz have already helped build the Bad Bunny storyline. Was it necessary to use their rivalry to promote other pop culture elements at WrestleMania Backlash?
