Smackdown Live: 3 things WWE could have done (but didn't)

#2 Have a competitive match for the 24/7 Championship

An actual match happened

So the Lumberjack match was a cool and fresh idea. I must applaud WWE and R-Truth for finding all these new and interesting ways to showcase the 24/7 Championship. The fact that the Lumberjacks wasted no time in trying to get to Elias after he won was a nice touch as well.

The thing is, there could have been an actual competitive match. There were around 5 moves in this match before it ended. I feel that if WWE let both Elias and R-Truth just do their thing for 7 minutes and have a halfway decent match, it would have been a lot cooler. You can keep everything else. Just let the two dudes wrestle.

I was definitely not watching during the Attitude Era (through reasons that are beyond my control), but I know for a fact there were actual matches for the Hardcore Championship. There was the triple threat with Kane, Raven and Big Show, and that one match where Goldust had a gold trash can.

The antics of the 24/7 Championship combined with actual in-ring competition would be a combination that's hard to beat.
