In the past, I have complained about pay-per-views being a little too bloated, but I just think that the lack of the Intercontinental Championship on SmackDown is not just affecting the upcoming pay-per-view but even the weekly show. Of course, we know about Sami Zayn's absence from SmackDown is the result of him not agreeing to come into work during the ongoing pandemic, but I still feel like it hurts the Blue brand.
And I feel the same way about Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross not being a part of SmackDown this week or Money in the Bank this weekend. It is especially a matter of concern in their case because the Women's Tag Team Championships have hardly been booked in any substantial way on either RAW or SmackDown, and I just think that so many women could have been elevated hard they been featured prominently.
Maybe after one of the women grabs the contract will we see the return of these titles to SmackDown.
