Description

WWE is looking to kick off 2022 on a high note, but the way its booking SmackDown and Raw recently as it builds toward Day 1 is leaving a lot to be desired. Host Adam Silverstein and co-host Chris Vannini dive into WWE's storytelling issues and why its inability to create compelling character arcs is hurting the entire product [2:40]. The guys then move into The Main Event [18:45] where topics include Paul Heyman becoming the focal point of Roman Reigns vs. Brock Lesnar, Reigns being absent from SmackDown, RK-Bro randomly showing up Friday night and Bobby Lashley running through Kevin Owens, Seth Rollins and WWE champion Big E all in one night. Next is The Good, The Bad and The Ugly [46:40] where "The Silver King" and "Vintage" break down the rest of the week in WWE, including Edge, The Miz and Maryse nailing a perfect segment; Becky Lynch vs. Liv Morgan and Charlotte Flair vs. Toni Storm heading in opposite directions; Doudrop's ascension, Drew McIntyre's descension and some truly embarrassing booking decisions.
