3 Interesting observations from this week's SmackDown Live (May 7, 2019)

#1: The skillfully executed Main Event match was hindered by The Wild Card rule

Kofi Kingston retained his WWE Title against Sami Zayn and AJ Styles in a Triple Threat match

Just like the beginning of this article, we end it by pointing out another example of why the Wild Card rule has already done more harm than good.

It is sad to think that despite AJ Styles, Sami Zayn and Kofi Kingston's efforts that went into executing that Main Event Triple Threat match last night, the Wild Card rule had already diminished the stakes beforehand.

AJ Styles is currently embroiled in the Universal Title feud with Seth Rollins, so it already seemed unlikely that the Phenomenal One would rob the Blue Brand of the WWE Championship.

Sami Zayn was literally trashed into a pile of garbage during this week's Monday Night RAW, and the same argument made for AJ Styles' case applies in Zayn's scenario as well, since both men officially belong to the Red Brand.

Ironically, the Wild Card rule was introduced to bring about some unpredictable changes on both main roster shows, however, it ended up making things more predictable in the first week of its inception!
