Look who’s back!Well, the build up to Summerslam was more good than bad but there were still things that could have been better but just aren’t. It’s not every month that WWE builds towards a PPV in near perfect fashion but this year’s Wrestlemania had a near perfect build up. Every feud, right from lower mid card to the main event had many things to delve into. The storylines were good.But the same can’t be said for this years 4 hour extravaganza that will be Summerslam.Here are the 3 things from the go- home Raw that did not work at all-
#3 Ryback Vs The Miz
New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE
The Intercontinental Title is still not relevant. Even if they have a promising star like Ryback holding it, the WWE is doing no favors in making him have a repetitive feud with the Big Show. Their feud was never good to begin with. There is absolutely nothing to really get excited about. The story is nothing interesting. It’s about a Big Guy facing a giant.
The Miz is the only performer who’s been entertaining throughout. He’s the one who gave this feud any legs. His heel work is tremendous but the focus is forced on whatever’s going on between Show and Ryback.
#2 The Spot
It was great that Banks Vs Bella was the last match of the show and it was great that Banks made Bella tap out. It was a huge statement. But the travesty lies in the fact that it was booked right before Lesnar and Heyman’s promo. Lesnar’s homecrowd started chanting ‘We Want Lesnar’ and ‘JBL’ in the middle of the match.
This could have been booked better. For something that the company is building up as a ‘revolution’, this match deserved a better occasion. It could have been a bigger moment and deserved a better spot.
#1 The Continuation
Yes, Ziggler’s return worked wonders but as long as they continue this saga involving him and Rusev and Summer Rae and Lana, they will all be part of this list of things that did not and do not work.
Ziggler is back. Hurrah! But he’s also back as Lana’s boyfriend, which means this storyline continues. It’ll be great for the audience and the performers involved if this storyline is dismissed after Summerslam.
Please.
