5 things we wanted from WWE this week and what they delivered: 25th April 2017
Week after week, the WWE and the WWE Universe seem to be stuck in a vicious cycle where the fans demand one thing, and the company delivers something completely different, thereby disappointing the viewers.
The viewers swear that they’ll never watch the product again, but inevitably return the following week. With said cycle in mind, Sportskeeda brings to you 5 things we wanted from WWE this week and what they delivered. A weekly piece that analyses if the WWE delivered what fans asked for.
This week’s Monday Night Raw and Smackdown Live were quite underwhelming, to say the least, and what makes it worse is that these were the final episodes of each show before the first post-Wrestlemania pay per view of the year, WWE Payback.
The fans were hoping for something to help build the hype for this Sunday’s big event, but it just didn’t happen. So, without any further ado, here are 5 things we wanted from WWE this week and what they delivered: 25th April 2017:
#5 What we wanted: American Alpha bouncing back; what we got: Breezango surprising everyone
This was one of the more pleasant surprises from this week’s episode of Smackdown Live. When the Beat the Clock challenge was announced for the No 1 contendership for the WWE Smackdown Tag Team Championships, everyone expected American Alpha to win and challenge The Usos again.
But, what we got was a curveball almost as big as Jinder Mahal winning The Six Pack Challenge from last week to become the No 1 contender for the WWE Championship as the team of Tyler Breeze and Fandango – or Breezango as they're called – won to earn the right to challenge the Smackdown Tag Team Champions.
Sure, it might be out of the Blue (get it?), but they don’t call Smackdown Live The Land of Opportunity for nothing, clearly. It is a refreshing change to see these neglected superstars get a chance to prove themselves.
