5 things that must not happen at WWE Stomping Grounds
WWE presents a brand new PPV, Stomping Grounds, this week, and the lineup for the PPV is stacked with several high profile matches. Although the matchups looks promising on paper, most of them are either rematches from WrestleMania or Super ShowDown.
Some of the matchups include Baron Corbin fighting for the Universal Championship against Seth Rollins in the presence of a special guest referee. Kofi Kingston will once again defend his WWE Championship against the "ShowOff" Dolph Ziggler.
WWE programming has been under the scrutiny in the past few months. However, WWE has constantly delivered decent PPV shows, and that trend should continue this Sunday.
We look at five booking options that WWE must avoid to ensure that Stomping Grounds isn't stomped by the critics and WWE Universe.
#5 Alexa Bliss wins the Smackdown Women's Championship
One of the major flaws of WWE in the past few months has been the introduction of Wild Card Rule. The Wild Card Rule has effectively put an end to the brand split, resulting in Smackdown becoming a fallout show for the things that happened on RAW.
Alexa Bliss, a RAW Superstar, is challenging for the Smackdown Women's Championship against Bayley. Bayley won the title last month after cashing in her Money in the Bank contract against Charlotte Flair.
If Bliss were to win the Smackdown Championship, it would be yet another nail in the coffin for the dying Brand Split. Alexa Bliss is part of a very thin Women's roster on RAW, and WWE must keep her on the red brand itself.
With Smackdown moving to FOX this October, WWE must ensure they keep Smackdown as fresh as possible, and RAW superstars winning Smackdown Championship is exactly the opposite of that thought.
