We're still in Toronto, following the previous night's WWE SummerSlam. Let's get right into the fallout!
I'm not sure if AJ Styles is the guy to counteract that, even if he is currently a heel.
I would think they'd want a bigger, more traditional heel, but perhaps they don't.
Maybe they're gong a different way after Seth Rollins' WWE SummerSlam match with Brock Lesnar. I suppose we'll get a great match, I'm just not sure we're going to get a well-told story.
I think Samoa Joe is different, though. His character largely remains the exact same whether he is face or heel.
Also, I like that, while the babyfaces help each other, the heels do not like each other. So when Sami Zayn was running his mouth, Sami Zayn got dealt with.
I'm not sure if exactly where they take this Samoa Joe angle, but I like when he's an angry loose cannon.
For whatever reason, I'm still intrigued by this story, but I think they are running out of time to really start telling it, before I lose my interest.
The best line of the night is when Elias told Ricochet that no one who dresses up like a comic book character wa going to tell him what's "cool".
I know WWE is all aboard the Ricochet train right now, but I still think Elias could be a much bigger deal.
However, after the match, they highlighted how Rey Mysterio is losing a lot of matches lately. Mysterio interviewed in the back about it even.
Do you think there is even a remote possibility that WWE takes a left turn, and turns Rey Mysterio heel?
I'm not even that turned-off by how this went. Most real sports use accomplished veterans for analysis, so that makes enough sense for him to be there.
However, they already laid the Superstar Seth Rollins thing on pretty thick to start the show, it's a bit much now.
The Street Profits are pulling off the comedy role, without it feeling like it's a clown show. The benefit of them "narrating" the show gives RAW a nice touch.
This is a nice way to have NXT stars highlighted on the main roster without them just essentially becoming main roster stars.
Out of the two, I feel like Drew McIntyre has a better chance of sticking around for a while.
Cedric Alexander has even less going for his character. What does he do? Why does he do it? WWE really hasn't told us much about him.
Is there anything left to do when this character? Didn't we miss the boat already on this guy?
Brock is infrequently there, so it's hard to make long plans, and this is a way for him to disappear for a while without too many questions.
Am I wrong? Will he just show up next week and beat the crap out of someone?
Elias vs R Truth could be a very entertaining storyline to tell over the course of a few weeks. Hopefully we see some of that next week.
The rest of this was good. Sasha instantly looked ruthless, which is what some of these wrestlers are supposed to be. They are fighting for their own success and rewards; competitors are nothing but an obstacle to destroy.
I'm excited to see how this plays out.
This is getting ridiculously boring.
There's a lot to still figure out with the WWE Women's Tag Team Championships.
My biggest fear, each time they "bring back" The WWE King of the Ring tournament, is that they have someone in mind for the cartoonish King gimmick.
That said, King Booker did a lot of good for Booker T's career, so I might not hate it, even if that's what we get.
This all seems really over-the-top. I'm beginning to wonder if they are leading us down a path, to give us some kind of swerve.
Will Braun Strowman keep helping Seth Rollins putt of trouble? Will Strowman eventually turn on Rollins? I'm not sure if I'm intrigued because they are being purposely vague, or if I'm just reading too much into things.
I guess that's it. I don't think we moved forward a whole lot, but it definitely felt like WWE has hit some reset buttons, and are introducing new angles after their second-biggest event of the year; WWE SummerSlam.
