WWE reveals their hand far too often

It is the tradition in WWE to have the hometown hero, lose in their beloved hometown. So much so, that the matches often become easy to predict and call even before they actually happen.
Even though Dolph Ziggler beating AJ Styles really makes no sense, considering which Superstar has more long-term potential, WWE gave the big win to Ziggler simply because Styles hails from Atlanta, Georgia. This was a completely fair victory without any foul play.
We do not claim to have magical powers to see into the future, but we can certainly predict results when WWE Superstars actually wrestle at home. As much as we love both Styles and Ziggler as workers, this match also under-delivered in some ways.
