WWE SmackDown: 4 huge mistakes WWE made on this week’s episode (May 21, 2019)

#2 Storylines for Shane McMahon

WWE is currently packed with young and upcoming talent who can really use some veterans to give them a push and help them get over. We have seen men like the Big Show, John Cena, and Chris Jericho work tirelessly to put over some new talent, and we expect the same from the current list of former champions in WWE.

However, it’s sad to see how the product is now centered around just a handful of elite superstars who have now received even more screentime thanks to the new Wild Card Rule. This could be the reason the 24/7 Championship was announced - so that the mid-card and lower card could be given 5-10 minutes of television time twice a week.

Shane McMahon is one man who could have done a lot for the new talent, but it seems like he has no plans to step back as he has continued to get himself in top storylines since the past year.

Shane has had a burning rivalry with The Miz and is also engaged in a rivalry with Roman Reigns, keeping both the top superstars engaged with himself while using a talent like Elias to take the fall and build heat around his character. WWE should seriously rectify this mistake and give the newer talent a chance to get over in such situations.
