Don't forget everyone's favourite, the aforementioned Mixed Match Challenge.

For those keeping track at home that's 5 events taking place within approximately one month's time. Who can keep track of it all, much less sell them? The WWE has the unfortunate task of trying to sell all of them simultaneously, which only clouds the creative waters and maddeningly confounds viewers.

Baron Corbin wouldn't allow Roman Reigns to put his Universal Championship on the line because Reigns will be defending it against both Braun Strowman and Brock Lesnar in a Triple Threat Match at Crown Jewel.

Bayley (with Finn Balor) was booked to fight Alicia Fox (with Jinder Mahal) in a match that put sleepless Seattle to bed because of the all-important Mixed Match Challenge. WWE can't understand why people won't watch the Mixed Match Challenge so in between promoting Smackdown 1000, Evolution, Crown Jewel, and Super Show-Down, Michael Cole of all people, provided a step by step instructional on how to watch on Facebook.

Fans know how to use Facebook. There's just nothing intriguing about meaningless mixed matches lost in a sea of other events and fans are simply refusing to tune in. It's content overload and the more saturated it all becomes, the more meaningless it all becomes.

We won't ever go back to the days where we have four big pay-per-views, every one significant and meaningful, after three months or more of the build. There's too much revenue involved to ever go back; but, is it too much to ask to just have one event at a time? Asking for some friends, millions of whom won't be watching The Mixed Match Challenge, I promise.
