Carmelo Hayes bested Ilja Dragunov in a US title Open Challenge. AJ Styles vs. Shinsuke Nakamura was added to Saturday Night’s Main Event.
Despite Drew McIntyre hilariously trolling Cody Rhodes, WWE made the next four mistakes on SmackDown from Montreal.
#4. Jade Cargill competes but doesn’t defend her title
Jade Cargill can exude all the confidence in the world, but the fact still remains that she hasn’t defended her WWE Women’s title once since winning it.
It’s not a championship until it is defended. Until that time, it’s just an oversized accessory to brag about.
She faced Chelsea Green on SmackDown with Jordynne Grace joining the Secret Hervice for one night. The Storm won yet again, and Grace challenged her to defend the title at some point. Cargill declined and walked away.
#3. Roman Reigns declares for the Royal Rumble by not appearing in person
Several WWE stars officially declared for the Royal Rumble on last week’s SmackDown and this week’s RAW. Cody Rhodes did so in a fiery promo after losing the Undisputed WWE title.
Liv Morgan, Jey Uso, Rhea Ripley, and many others followed suit on RAW. Instead of appearing live or sending a pre-taped message declaring his intent, WWE instead aired a video package of Roman Reigns.
The message was that “he” declared for the Rumble, but officials made the announcement for him. If he appeared and gave the news himself, it would have been different.
#2. Jacob Fatu “reveals” who attacked him
Michael Cole sat down with Cody Rhodes for an interview, but it was interrupted by Jacob Fatu. The two rivals exchanged words and insults.
Lost in the verbal melee was Fatu claiming that Drew McIntyre was the one who kicked him in the teeth. Before the full reveal of the attack, everyone blamed The Scottish Warrior for the attack.
It was never investigated, and it feels like the easiest and laziest possible choice for the perpetrator. They couldn’t use it for a heel turn, to debut a new star, or to prop up a mid-carder?
Maybe backstage officials are just terrible at investigating backstage attacks. This is a year after the nonsense and lack of news that came after Jade Cargill’s attack.
#1. Alexa Bliss gets pinned again on SmackDown
Because WWE has put a heavy spotlight on the women’s tag team division, it has caused some disappointing treatment of a few former champions. The Kabuki Warriors lost nearly every match while champions.
Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair will probably face Rhea Ripley and IYO SKY for the titles at WrestleMania, but bookers have buried Bliss in the interim. The former tag champs defeated Giulia and Kiana James last week.
The frenemies lost a triple threat on SmackDown. Lash Legend hit her finisher on Bliss, but Flair speared Legend out of the ring. This left Kiana James open to pin Bliss for the win.
Little Miss Bliss lost to Legend in December and to Giulia a few weeks back. Flair beat Legend and wouldn’t lose much by eating the pin since she has 14 title wins. It’s why Randy Orton can survive title match losses. Bliss hasn’t won a singles title in over seven years.
