How can these key players be left out of the show?
We've said it time and time again. While the talent on SmackDown Live is extraordinary, it is the writing that often lets the show down. How can the Royal Rumble match winner not feature on the show, except in a video package? How can the most popular star in the brand, Rusev, not be featured at all?
We won't even mention superstars such as Tye Dillinger, 'Miss Money in the Bank' Carmella and The Usos, all of whom were conspicuous by their absence. It's hard to believe that WWE couldn't find a spot for them during the course of the entire show.
