As much as I enjoyed the match before it was ruined by interference from team NXT, Samoa Joe pretty much echoed my frustrations with WWE booking. Why was a match between Kevin Owens and Drew McIntyre booked, to begin with?
Think about it logically for just a minute. On the one hand, you have Kevin Owens who's dabbled in the bad side for most of his life but has now discovered the 'good' side of the spectrum, becoming a beloved babyface.

On the other, you have a Scottish Psychopath in Drew McIntyre who has been a heel for most of his main roster run, if not all of it! Wouldn't the think tank of Team RAW want them to not clash for their volatile coalition to not be severed before the big match at Survivor Series where they have to put their differences aside and team up?
I'm glad this issue was raised on commentary too! Samoa Joe pretty much spoke my mind!
