New Day vs Sanity

The show ended with an over ten minute promo for Miz and Mrs.

Better than Raw but offered nothing new. I'll enjoy AJ vs Joe and it was cool to see Chinless get canned but I'm really just not caring much for this product.

 

[The Gipper]

....Over ten minutes of a miz & Mrs promo. I have questions.

 

[Grievous 3D]

James Ellsworth interrupted and Paige had him removed and fired him.

Please let this be for good...please.

So basically they brought Ellsworth
back simply so Carmella could defeat
Asuka a couple of times.

The WWE sucks...

Becky won by submission and earned a title shot at Summerslam

Please let Becky win...and hold the title for
longer than 80 days...and actually defend
the title successfully a couple of times.

Of course knowing the WWE they are simply
going to use Becky as a transitional champion
with Peyton Royce the next in line for a run.

Although...

*Thinks*

Champion Becky vs. Heel Charlotte would excite
me...& in ways you don't even want to know.

Isn't this Miz vs Bryan fued suppose to be good?

For the most part I really enjoyed this show and gave it a 6/10. Now, granted, with RAW having set such a low bar, I guess it ain't that difficult for SD to look so much better but nevertheless, it was good enough good enough for me. Nothing spectacular obviously, nothing to ride home about but at least I felt no need to either hang myself or get the nightquill and drink till there's no tomorrow...Quick thoughts:

- Heel Randy is the best Randy...plain and simple...

- For what it's worth, James Ellsworth being "fired" doesn't really matter cause it's not like he was under some contract or anything. The only reason they brought him back was to help Carmella pick up some steam and my understanding is he was on a "per appearance" type of deal so, again, it barely changes anything. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised one bit if he were to show up as soon as Summerslam being there's definetely a story to be told now that Becky vs. Carmella has become official...a story, mind you, that goes all the way back to the first woman's money in the bank ladder match....remember that one? yeah...

- Is it me or are they beating Sanity way too often way too soon?

- I could not picture a better candidate to dethrone AJ Styles other then Samoe Joe...

- Too little too late I feel for Asuka...and poor Iconics, already jobbing out to almost everyone. How WWE manages to fuck up every star or team that come up from NXT (with very few exceptions) is beyond me...

Randy Orton is the best thing in WWE right now

Knew Joe was gonna get that shot. I think they are gonna give him the green light and put the title on him.

As noted above, I truly believe Samoe Joe is the best candidate to dethrone AJ Styles. The man can wrestle, the man can talk (I'd easily put him up there in the top three as far as best promos nowadays and I'm talking between the entire WWE roster), he has a presence, he looks badass and, quite frankly IS a badass and legit. There's no doubt in my mind he deserves a run with the belt and I'm quite confident he will get that opportunity sooner or later.

That being said, I have a feeling Summerslam is not the time just yet. For one, we have too many potential title changes seemingly happening at this PPV so something has to give, as in some people have to retain. And while I know there's no "law" or anything preventing multiple title changes from happening, I feel AJ will fall under the catergory of those retaining for the main reasoning he's been already announced as the cover of the new WWE 2K19 game.

I'm no gamer but my understanding is these games usually drop right around Survivor Series so I would find it a bit odd if they were to take the title off of him at this time. Would not mind it (only because it would be against Samoe Joe) but don't see it happening.

I dont think Joe wins at SummerSlam. My prediction is he wins at the next PPV and then they grudge match at HIAC and he goes over
