(www.PlaytimeCares.com) - The Royal Rumble (RR) Pay Per View (PPV) is about 2 weeks away, and still the WWE writers are slow on getting people excited about it.  This SmackDown was kind of slow paced and boring and did very little to push the upcoming PPV.  This is the exact feelings I had last week, and this still applies! 


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:

Air Date: Thursday, January 7, 2016
