One issue you may have taken with SmackDown Live’s invasion of Monday Night Raw this week was the fact that there were babyface wrestlers, like Bobby Roode, working together alongside heels, like Dolph Ziggler. Those two are currently embroiled in a feud.
One fan who took issue with this was Wade Keller over at PW Torch, who wrote an entire article making note of this as a glaring flaw. He also got into it with Ziggler himself on Twitter, who attempted to explain his motivations in character:
Smackdown was a unit sending a message. Somehow every week we all wait until we're in the ring, the music hits and bell rings to fight. Why wouldn't this apply here? I didn't high five or even talk to my sd opponent, nor have I been seeking him out backstage to jump him

I have nothing against shane. I called out the fans for liking wrestlers that are smoke & mirrors. So, it was fun to bust up a show built on masks, fire, smoke & facepaint & chest protectors. Sorry that YOU didn't see that.

WWE will get its first chance to explain all this on tonight’s episode of SmackDown Live, if they choose to address it at all.
Stay tuned.
In the meantime, do you take issue alongside Keller? Or are you in Ziggler’s camp on this one?
