With SmackDown steady and Raw finding its footing over the last month, WWE looked to be on a creative upswing with new rosters set to take effect. Instead, its booking took a nosedive this week with both shows failing to impress. Host Adam Silverstein and co-host Chris Vannini discuss what went wrong for WWE as it builds to Crown Jewel before breaking down the quarterfinals of the King of the Ring and Queen's Crown tournaments, including atrocious and embarrassing booking for the women's division. The guys also talk Roman Reigns, Brock Lesnar, Becky Lynch, Sasha Banks, Big E, Goldberg and much more.
