WWE: Payback – Flops of the show

1) Curtis Axel gets another fluke victory

When someone is introduced as the future of the company, and that someone is the son of a legendary performer, someone who is regarded as one of the greatest wrestlers of all time, people would think he’d go through the talent, put on good matches and win over them clean. Sadly, Axel doesn’t seem to fit that criteria. Having Heyman by your side is a bona fide ticket to super stardom, but when even that doesn’t make you look like a legit threat, then you know there’s something wrong with the way he’s being built. Axel won the WWE Intercontinental title, but once again, it came off as a fluke victory. There is a reason you say ‘building’ a star, and that doesn’t include being manhandled and claiming a win when the boss throws a hissy fit about his son – in – law. It’ll be interesting to see how Axel will do as a champion, although sadly, I think I know the answer.
