Final Thoughts
WWE's consistent need to set up the next big thing has killed a lot of angles this year, the same happened tonight with some unbelievable and awkward non-finishes including even in the Smackdown Women's title match.
Speaking of which their treatment of the Smackdown brand titles is unfair and shoddy, calling into question why it's necessary to keep dual branded PPV's despite revenue stream. That the WWE championship is the most prestigious price in the business, now seems like a joke.

This is especially when writers keep using it as a prop to rehash the same beats in AJ's feud with Samoa Joe, as they did with Shinsuke Nakamura.
Yet one cannot deny that this PPV has been much better thanks to some unbelievable opening bouts as well as good enough matches later down the card. The non-finish might have killed it, but even the main event had its moments.
The question is why this inconsistency? Much like every other mainstream form in this world, WWE is something that could be better than it is. Yet complacency makes the greatest of all time, rust over time and eventually wither into nothing. Slowly but surely that time is coming and WWE better prepares for that storm.
