Reggie returned on WWE SmackDown tonight as the 24/7 Champion and faced Chad Gable in the title match. Their match started well and allowed both superstars to showcase their respective strengths. However, their bout ended with an unnecessary disqualification when Otis interfered and attacked the champion.
Now, the creative team’s idea behind the booking might have been good. Their intention could have been to give television time to both Reggie and Gable while simultaneously highlighting Otis’ newfound aggression. However, it wasn’t necessary to jeopardize a good match on WWE SmackDown.
Otis could have attacked Reggie after the match, and it would still have been a believable heel move. Moreover, the interference made Gable look weak. The Alpha Academy should be actively competing in the tag team division of WWE SmackDown. But if they will be involved in 24/7championships matches, then at least the writers should protect their credibility until their next feud.
Reggie's title reign with the 24/7 championship is not that bad. He has delivered engaging performances inside the ring and is bearable on the mic since he lost his French accent. A few good matches on WWE SmackDown and RAW can undoubtedly help elevate his current position on the roster.
