WWE: The booking on Raw and Smackdown continue to be laughable

We are a few weeks into NWA Powerrr and AEW Dynamite. These two promotions started TV in October. The WWE has been around for a long time and book like they are the new company. In the few episodes of AEW and NWA, they are able to tell a great story and build continuity. There’s a chance you may miss an episode and it’s understandable. AEW and NWA will spend a few minutes in the beginning of the show to recap their fans on what happened in the previous week. If they don’t do that, they will at least bring people up to speed on how we got to where we are. I can’t remember the last time the WWE did that.

Also, AEW and NWA make their shows make sense. Raw and Smackdown have not made any sense in the last couple of months. This has gotten worse over the last couple of weeks in my opinion. You don’t have to go far to see where the WWE is screwing this shit up. There was a an advertised match between Bayley and Nikki Cross. The stipulation was that Nikki Cross needed to defeat Bayley and she would be put on the Smackdown Women’s team at Survivor Series. Not even five minutes into the match, several NXT Women would invade the ring. We would end up getting a eight woman tag match.

If Bayley and Cross would have had the match and then the invasion happened, I would be ok with it. I’m not ok with how they did it. We also found out that the Viking Raiders defend the Raw tag titles against Hawkins and Ryder this Monday on Raw. The WWE for some reason plays with their fans intelligence. This is a major reason why AEW, NWA, Impact, and MLW continue to rise in fans.
