wweSince the first brand split during the Brutal Invasion era, we’ve been trying to sell the idea of ​​SmackDown vs. RAW to fans, so much so that we even made a game series out of it. While in kayfabe it’s not always that important, it seems to be a big issue backstage.

Just for an imaginary flaw (some kind of brass ringing thing) that participants in the main event could get away with major holes in their games?

When the show ended, Reigns vs. Punk seemed like the obvious choice, while Drew McIntyre’s performance was a bit weak. “Punk” is the New York version of McIntyre’s Big Mac, which is something that should never be said about the current undisputed WWE Champion.
