WWE: Superstar Ratings for August 5th RAW

4. Curtis Axel

Curtis Axel faced CM Punk this week on RAW, but it was evident that it wasn’t about Axel. Axel is the proverbial third wheel in the Punk-Lesnar/Heyman feud, but he had a decent match with Punk which went for over 10 minutes.

Axel is a talented, gifted superstar who has a bright future in the business, but most of the times WWE portrays him as just an “extra” in a feud, whether it was during the initial Heyman/Brock-Triple H feud or when Heyman turned on Punk, which doesn’t speak too well about Axel’s spot on the roster.

WWE has no plans for these former AEW wrestlers? Here's why!

Either way, Axel needs a good feud going into SummerSlam, and we can only hope that Heyman works his magic on Axel after the Punk-Lesnar feud ends.

Rating: **½
