#1 Worst: Not furthering the paternity angle

I guess Chad Gable vs. Elias is a great feud but I thought that WWE missed a trick with the Mike Kanellis match this week. The paternity angle should have been furthered instead of it being just a regular squash match, I feel.

Mike and Maria's angle is the most character work they've done since they've arrived in WWE. With the brand split, the stars will be split, and WWE will need to keep things interesting by having their undercard have compelling characters as well.

It's baffling why WWE would tease this storyline and then drop it the subsequent week, because I thought it had the legs to go for a long time. I'm guessing it's not PG in the purest sense of the word, but then again, it's hardly Attitude Era content.

An edgier WWE will bring a lot more fans back to weekly television.
