Jade Cargill tried to break Alexa Bliss’s arm, but people forget Bliss is double-jointed. Gunther wasn’t happy with Nick Aldis, so he attacked the former NWA Worlds Champion to close out the show. The promos from Hayes and Royce Keys were better than usual, but WWE made the next four mistakes on SmackDown.
#4. Burying Royce Keys and Solo Sikoa for Jimmy Uso
Instead of getting what they wanted, subservience from Solo Sikoa, Jimmy Uso and Jacob Fatu were met by a defiant Royce Keys. He was mad that they uttered his name.
Since no one can talk about the Bloodline without everyone in the group flipping over tables, it was a nice taste of humble pie. It led to a match between Keys and Jimmy, which Jimmy won.
Keys is still relatively new to the main roster fans, so losing to the fourth-most important member of the Bloodline is a bad look for him. Solo’s interference is the likely excuse for the loss.
He should have run through Jimmy due to how Jimmy talked down to him. Both Solo and Keys were essentially sacrificed and beaten down so Jimmy could get a win.
#3. The WWE Women’s Championship doesn’t exist
This will be a weekly mistake until it’s addressed. WWE mentioned that Rhea Ripley suffered an injury in her match with Jade Cargill at Clash in Italy on an episode of SmackDown in early June. The PLE took place at the end of May.
There haven’t been any updates on live programming since that initial announcement. How can WWE handle the top prize for the women of SmackDown by ignoring it?
Even a sentence from commentary or backstage would address the situation. There should always be contingency plans since injuries are part of the game. If that wasn’t enough, Women’s US Champion Tiffany Stratton didn’t appear either.
#2. Alexa Bliss is nothing but a plot device for WWE
It’s disappointing how WWE has booked Alexa Bliss ever since she returned in the 2025 Royal Rumble after a few years off due to pregnancy. Her main usage has been as Charlotte Flair’s “friend.” It led to a short run as Women’s Tag Champions.
When they weren’t holding gold, however, she’s been used as a setup and collateral damage in The Queens’ feuds. It first happened with Rhea Ripley after WrestleMania 42, and is currently happening with Jade Cargill.
Bliss will lose to Cargill or eat the pin in tag matches to prop Flair up. That’s precisely what happened on SmackDown after The Storm defeated Bliss. She then “broke” Alexa’s arm so Flair can eventually get revenge. Bliss deserves much better.
#1. A lazy setup for the WWE Championship match at SummerSlam
Instead of having a #1 Contender’s match or fatal four-way to determine who would face CM Punk for the Undisputed Title at SummerSlam, WWE simply booked The Best in the World vs. Cody Rhodes since he came out.
Punk rattled off a list of potential challengers, including Sami Zayn, Gunther, Damian Priest, Finn Balor, Royce Keys, and Trick Williams. The one name he didn’t say, Rhodes, predictably came out since the title was involved.
Instead of having the spirit of competition to get to the match, Aldis just made it official after the friends agreed to the match. WWE should at least present the illusion of competition with a match.
Handing it to the guy who’s held the title for the majority of the last two years is lazy storytelling. Fans knew the two would square off, but not having a method other than an agreement is just lazy booking.
