SmackDown is losing control!
What’s making SmackDown Live exciting at the moment is the number of interferences in matches that are causing controversy. I like to think the WWE creative team are doing this on purpose, to lead to a bigger storyline on the brand, where management starts to struggle to control and contain their Superstars.
This would pave the way for a new General Manager, and it would be a pretty awesome storyline if done right.
We had Ziggler and Baron Corbin interfere in Miz’s Intercontinental title match, we had Kalisto getting his own back later in the show, by kicking Corbin into oblivion and of course, we had Ambrose shaping the main event. We also had the fallout of the backstage attack on Nicki Bella from the Survivor Series.
I think this will turn out to have been Natalya, but only time will tell.
The point is, SmackDown is losing control, slowly but surely and it’s only a matter of time before the management lays down the law…or the Superstars do. If we had a mutiny on SmackDown Live would it affect Raw? There are many different possibilities here, and it’s things like this that keep me tuning in to see what happens next.
