But what about right now? WWE SUMMERSLAM is going soon! Will we be entertained in the interim? Let's find out!
KEVIN OWENS
SHANE MCMAHON
DREW MCINTYRE
I can't decide if this St-owen-cold Kevin Owens thing is getting over as much as I thought it would. Maybe it just needs more time to get there.Owens probably is the best performer to fill that "every man", relatable, top-face role; while having great crowd work, and main-event experience.
So far, so good, I guess.
ALEISTER BLACK
I guess we needed a do-over on the "Knock On My Door" angle?I'll admit, the Cesaro reveal left a lot to be desired, but I kinda feel like we missed the mark, so I'm not sure why we're trying it again?
Is there someone that will make us all forget the first try?
BAYLEY
EMBER MOON
I know the idea of making future opponents team-up for a tag team match is about as old as wrestling, so I'm used to it; but, I wish there was a different way to to create conflict between the characters.Carry something over from a social media argument. Have a fake autograph signing go bad, etc.
If I'm going to be able to easily deduce your outcomes, at least you could vary the settings .
CHARLOTTE FLAIR
TRISH STATUS
This is a good way to keep Charlotte in the spotlight of being one of the absolute best in the division, without having her involved in every title match.WWE SummerSlam is in Toronto, so the Trish Stratus thing fits well. I'm sure this match will be good. At least, it will be good enough to serve it's its purpose; which SHOULD be to make Charlotte look like an even bigger deal than they have already made her out to be.
THE FIEND BRAY WYATT
FINN BALOR
DOLPH ZIGGLER
I still don't have a reason WHY The Fiend has his eyes set on Finn Balor. I would think we should have that before we get the match, but I'm not positive we will.They also got a spot in for Dolph to be able to continue his "disrespect" of Shawn Michaels, and his general asshole behavior.
ALI
SHINSUKE NAKAMURA
I still don't have a lot of understanding on what we're supposed to get behind Ali for.His videos have been really good, and they are intriguing, but these in-ring payoffs don't really seem to do anything for me.
What is this character; besides the guy that we used to be really behind, but then kind of forgot about?
RANDY ORTON
Randy Orton's best promos are done backstage. I don't mean that as an insult to his in-ring promo abilities; but these backstage ones are typically done exceptionally well.I really like how Orton is bagging on Kofi by bringing up the idea that he just got lucky and seized an opportunity he really shouldn't have had, when Ali got hurt.
AJ STYLES
KOFI KINGSTON
THE O.C.
THE NEW DAY
AJ Styles keeps wrestling top tier champions, even though he is currently a mid tier champion. That seems weird to me.I guess this was okay filler for both of their storylines. Again, however, I don't know that this made me feel ANYTHING about either storyline. If I felt ANYTHING, it was apathy.
ROMAN REIGNS
Oh no! Somebody managed to push over lighting rigs onto Roman Reigns!And they managed to do it without being seen by Roman, Charley Caruso, or ANY of the camera men. Including the camera that was positioned conveniently behind that very lighting rig!
What a dastardly heel this mystery person must be! Roman is in deep shit now!
Okay, not bad. We are technically left with a cliff hanger. Who pushed the blank-painted plastic tubing onto Roman when he wasn't looking?
Will we ever know? Will we ever be the same again?
Hopefully we can get some answers next week!
