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

#1 Announced Dolph Ziggler as Kofi’s opponent

After winning the Money in the Bank briefcase on Sunday and shocking the entire WWE Universe, the interest in Brock Lesnar had once again been reignited by the creative team.

This received a significant push on Monday, as Lesnar made a rare appearance on Raw along with Paul Heyman and teased matches between both the top champions of the company. Heyman talking down both the champions and making it seem as though the champions were begging for a match against The Beast rather than him coming after either man.

While WWE could have waited for another week and built on the same storyline, they made a huge mistake this week by announcing Dolph Ziggler as Kofi’s next challenger.

Even though that does not change much, it just fizzles down the tensions a bit as the Universal Champion is now more open to a threat than Kofi, who already has a challenger for the next big event. Lesnar does not show up too much, and therefore it can be assumed that WWE will book a match for The Beast for his cashing in rather than let him use the element of surprise just for the sake of ratings.

Will Brock Lesnar show up next week on Raw to make an announced cash-in against Seth Rollins for Super ShowDown? It seems all the more likely now.
