WRESTLING RECAP: Breaking down WWE Smackdown from 06/11/15

(www.PlaytimeCares.com) - Money in the Bank (MitB) Pay Per View (PPV) is only a few days away, so you know I had no high expectations for this show.  Why would the WWE choose to injure their talent so close to a big show.  I was pleasantly surprised that the show was decent enough to warrant watching overall.

Some things I still need to happen in the WWE Universe:

1. Bring back the Cruiser Weight Division
2. Make all the matches mean something to some sort of belt or rivalry.  
3. Show more of the roster.  You guys recycle the same talent too much.
4. You may wish to consider bringing the Diva's division full circle and have them with Tag Title belts, lightweight belts, etc.
5. The Tag Team Division is starting to look better than the singles division.  Get more people graduated from NXT and get that division showcased more.

Here are the highlights of the show:
