3) Why Gran Metalik Was Booked For The Intercontinental Title Match
According to a report from Ringside News, Gran Metalik was booked for the Intercontinental Title match on Smackdown because of Dave Meltzer.
Here is what the site wrote:
Ringside News has learned that Gran Metalik was placed in that match because of what Bruce Prichard heard from Dave Meltzer. A writer with knowledge of the situation informed us that Prichard heard Meltzer thinks that Gran Metalik is “the best luchador and one of the best workers in WWE.”
The way it was explained to us, the pull to have Gran Metalik in the IC Title match was because Prichard “tried to appease the sheet readers by putting him in the match with AJ.” It was also said that WWE “tried to end the discussion” by beating Gran Metalik.
My Take:
- I do like that they gave Gran Metalik a chance to shine. I hope that we get to see more underutilized talent on Smackdown over the next several weeks.
