2- Lack of depth in the Smackdown roster
Let’s face it. Smackdown does not have the same level of mid-card talent that Raw does. And the lack of genuine star power affects the show. To put things into perspective, let’s look at the Backlash card. Sure there’s Ambrose vs Styles, Orton vs Wyatt, the 2 new title matches and The Miz vs Ziggler. But that’s pretty much all the stars they have in the brand, and while the rest of the card hasn’t been decided yet...it’ll be hard to book matches that matter.
Especially if there’s supposed to be a match on the Backlash pre-show as well. Because of the weak roster, even today’s show felt unimportant.
