I didn't get the point of having Rusev face Cena immediately after the triple threat. Casually beating up on a guy who's just won a war seems pointless. I know it was a vehicle to get Owens back in at the end, but if anything it generates sympathy heat for Rusev of all people.

Maybe Owens beats Cena and that ending is the catalyst for a newly face Rusev to chase him for the belt but then probably not.

I was watching an indie show. Michael Tarver was on and when he won the ring announcer struggled to remember his name before finally calling him Mitchell Tarver. That's my Michael Tarver story

Also they did the three faction thing to keep Sasha heel and it makes more sense than 4 vs. 3.

It was actually because Sasha is a huge Dragon Gate mark (further proof that she is the best).

Face Rusev and Summer Rae? What about Dolph, the face who stole his girlfriend and spent 3 weeks taunting him about it until Rusev kicked his rear end?

My favorite was when he threatened to break his other leg

Then made out with his ex girlfriend in front of him

I believe at least one of the two actions were cheered

No one man should have all that Psycho-Power.

Rusev has been the main reason I watch the show anymore for the last long time, and after his last little bit being really depressing I marked out pretty hard tonight.

Rusev basically beat cena clean as far as I am concerned and I am happy with it.

babyfaces can be assholes if the heel deserves it enough. The problem with Dolph/Rusev is that it is very bad, not that Lana is finally sticking it to her verbally abusive boyfriend who spent a year trying to cripple the midcard

I really liked the NXT call ups. It was an introduction, not a showcase. The only thing I found puzzling was that Sasha didn't have her belt with her. They had Kevin Owens drag his around, why not her?

That triple threat was pretty loving good too. If JBL is the voice of Vince, he seems to be getting behind Cesaro finally.

Stardust is gonna get fuckin' paid and daddy, that's what Dusty was all about brotha.

NXT Divas issues: Stephanie being the savior of wrestling again apparently. Nikki talking over entrances but at least Steph told her to shut up. those introductions were kind of crappy and super pandering. Sasha didn't have her Women's title. NXT divas stand tall was cool, but Steph is standing tall at the ramp and the camera focus on her as the Total Divas theme plays. The whole segment was branded #TotalDivas apparently.

I choose to believe they decided to continue the Stardust angle because they already commisioned a whole pile of title cards and paid for them in advance.

Good because I liked those. Seems like Miz is getting in on the Green Arrow stuff too and with Neville deal with Stardust I wouldn't be surprised if we get a Stardust/Miz vs Neville/Green Arrow match.

The most consistent angle on raw since mania has been Kane being built up as Seth's opponent in a big match. Orton, Reigns, Ambrose and now Brock have all been the third wheel in that program at one point or another. It's the only Summerslam main event that has been foreshadowed. WWE is amazing

It really is loving amazing that they dropped that really interesting Goldust vs Stardust CODY IS DEAD storyline because of one bad match on a sub-C tier PPV and denied them a chance for a Mania blowoff for one of the longest running plotlines of the year, but picked up the "talk about random space poo poo," gimmick as if nothing happened.

I mean, maybe people would have been upset when Dusty actually died right after they did a storyline about his son hating him and beating the poo poo out of his other son to get over as an evil heel, but it's not like they knew that when it was happening.

Stardust likes playing a super villain and Arnell likes wrestling, so there's really no questioning why the angle is going on. I'd love to see Cody get a guest spot on Arrow. He deserves to be happy.

Goldust is injured. I think he was talking about comic books this time though.
