#4 Fifty-Fifty booking

Not a Glorious Faceoff
Not a Glorious Faceoff

A significant problem that the fans have with the WWE system is their fifty-fifty booking system. Majority of the feuds have to endure through this nonsensical booking so that feuds get prolonged unnecessarily. Ziggler and Roode are in the midst of a relatively dull rivalry, which is not doing any favours for both of them.

Roode was a top superstar in NXT before moving onto Smackdown Live, and his arrival was met with a thunderous response from the WWE Universe. However, just like Nakamura before, Roode got stuck in a feud with Dolph Ziggler.

Ziggler of late hasn't been relevant to the WWE Universe and sticking two main-event talents in the form of Roode and Nakamura alongside "The Showoff" was not a wise decision.

A 1-1 scoreline in this rivalry means the feud will continue for at least another match, and the WWE Universe will not be thrilled to see this feud continue.
