Let's start with Miz. It would be nice if they just focused on this big storyline for him. Why bother having him feud with Fandango? Fandango may be a heel, but I have a tough time picturing him as a henchman for Triple H. I was hoping and expecting that they wouldn't even follow through with a feud between Miz and Fandango. I said just a few days ago that Fandango should be feuding with someone like R-Truth. He doesn't need a bigger feud now. A feud between Miz and Fandango would likely end up not doing anything much for either guy. Right now, Miz's involvement as a top face to stand against Triple H and his group is more important. Go back to earlier this year when it looked like Damien Sandow would have both a singles feud against R-Truth and tag feud that also involved the divas. The WWE dropped his feud with R-Truth. I am still expecting them to drop the feud with Fandango or write it off very easily. What then for Fandango? Summertime sadness? As I said before, just have him feud with R-Truth. It would be a better midcard feud.
Why isn't Mark Henry more involved in this storyline? He is currently a face, has been World Champion before, and has had issues with The Shield very recently. It almost looked like he would team with Big Show to go after the tag titles. And now, he is just in the background?
While I am on the subject of why certain people are not involved in this storyline more, what about Ryback? I said before that Fandango doesn't really fit as a henchman for Triple H, but Ryback does. I won't spoil Smackdown too much this week, but Ryback does get involved in this situation a little. Still, not enough for my liking. His bully gimmick isn't exactly leading to him getting any real feuds right now. Fit him better alongside The Shield as Triple H's personal henchmen.
Daniel Bryan's main target right now as far as feuds go is obviously Randy Orton. Where does that leave these other top faces and Triple H's henchmen? Assuming The Shield is feuding with these faces heading into Night of Champions and not some random match against a lower-midcard tag team, who should go for the tag titles? Remember when Big Show and Miz were actually a team? They won the tag titles before. It would be fitting for them to team again to go after the tag titles. If Mark Henry was involved in this thing more, I would also say that he is a possibility to team with Big Show. If the WWE was really thinking about still going in that direction, they are not doing a good job of developing Mark Henry for it. That would leave Dolph Ziggler to go after Dean Ambrose for the U.S. title. Big Show and Miz go for the tag titles and Dolph Ziggler goes for the U.S. title. And if the WWE does get Mark Henry and Ryback involved in this thing more, those two can face each other.
Let me do an aside. It is a follow up on the same aside I had yesterday. This is about the buzz that AJ Lee's promo has created. She criticized the way things currently are. Have people forgotten that The Bellas criticized the state of the diva division at one time? I believe they did it on Twitter a few months after CM Punk did his big promo. That didn't lead to them getting to do a big "shoot" on any of the major shows. A few fans gave them some respect points for that. How many respect points have they lost since then? Did they only say what they did so fans would respect them more? I won't sway you one way or another. Thing is, did AJ Lee say what she did because she really cares so much or the WWE wants her to create some buzz? She has gotten some of that Punk-like vibe now. AJ Lee is turning into a patchwork diva. A patchwork quilt is a quilt made of various pieces of cloth. When I use the term for AJ Lee, I am pretty much saying that she is starting to look like a bunch of other people stitched together. People have compared her to Lita, Mickie James, Stephanie McMahon, and even some men. She did the whole "Yes!" thing for a while. She is looking like CM Punk now. So far, she has not had one angle or gimmick that has lasted for more than a few months before the WWE cut it and moved on to something else or modified it in some other way. Her periphery career kicked in when she was with Daniel Bryan. They broke up and that transitioned into her getting involved with CM Punk and Kane, as well as Daniel Bryan. That briefly dropped back down to just Daniel Bryan for the wedding angle. She became GM for a few months. Enter John Cena. Her few months with Ziggler. She is now Diva's Champion. If that wasn't enough, you let her go out there and cut a promo like that? They are just going to keep adding patches to this woman. It would be better if they found one good position for her and just kept her there for a while to let these other women knit their own stories and positions in the company. It's only a matter of time before they make her look like a female version of The Undertaker for a couple months.
