Do They Book Toy Commercials?

I’m saying that even when stuff like that doesn’t happen, you’ll get the wrestlers that WWE wishes were over getting their finishes on "lesser" wrestlers. Sheamus somehow ends the WWE commercial with the Kick against Dolph. HHH gets whomever with the pedigree (of course) and Bray Wyatt gets Abigail on Dean. Let me be clear, sometimes they don’t even get their hands raised. The commercial just has a sequence of moves ending with "WWE’s Guy" getting the last move against the "Lesser WWE Guy".

You were definitely correct about it being a dumb question.
