For as dull and predictable as WWE have been, I don't think it's reasonable to say that 'nobody' wants to see Reigns vs. Lesnar now. Hell, half the reason they've brought him back in is because he's pretty much all they have left to actually match up with Roman now that the Cena match is done. I'm well up for a badass babyface Brock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm well up for a badass babyface Brock. Yeah this is the most I've been interested in Brock in years - apart from the Brock Party stuff and his initial return, he's been very samey over the years. At least this gives them an opportunity to have him towards the 'face' side of things. Plus Roman is at the top of his game on his heel run so yeah, on paper it's Brock vs Roman again but neither man is in the same place. Sure it's predictable that they'd go back to this but throw in the Heyman factor and I'm definitely intrigued at the least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s a theory that she could make someone else a star. But there is 100% certainty these guys aren’t capable of that. So now they’ve went from one star to no stars again. Just when you think they couldn’t go any lower… I'd guess they're planning on having Bayley as a good guy when she returns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaitoRyo Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 WWE managing to fuck up Bianca before even getting the chance to a release a 'Fresh Princess Belair' t-shirt. smh... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevieg1980 Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 I watched this in work yesterday morning and wondered whether work was dragging because its work or because I was watching Summerslam. If there is one thing that sums up watching WWE for me is Nakamura not being on the card but appearing just so one twat in white with a headband can do some 80's rocker shit while another twat in white acts a complete tosser dancing on the announce table. Maybe it's because I have been playing catch up and binge watching AEW but every match felt like it was at 2/3rds speed. But the biggest put off is the commentary. Its asinine.

LCJ Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 14 hours ago, Slapnut said: I can’t imagine this will be a popular opinion here, but this show was my first experience of Pat McAfee and I have to say I found him to be the most overbearing part of the show, even more so than Michael Cole. I found him particularly irritating during Nakamura’s entrance. I didn’t see any of his NXT work so that may have something to do with it, but I’m really surprised at how much love he gets here. You’re not alone on this. McAfee was far better as a worker in NXT and seemed like a natural but now he’s just an annoying commentator because…. WWE.

The King Of Swing Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 They could have just Asuka out to put Bianca over in a solid 15 match (it's not like WWE give a toss about brand consistency) and then still have their "moment" with Becky afterwards.

Just when you think they couldn’t go any lower… Becky was never a 100% babyface. She’s always walked that middle line. She was happily battering babyfaces too in her run and rarely just playing to the crowd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members air_raid Posted August 23, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted August 23, 2021 In other circumstances this kind of opportunism might have been considered heelish but in WWE it’s perfectly fine (apparently) and babyfaces have been able to do far more prickish things and maintain their babyface status - since the inception of Money In The Bank at least.

The King Of Swing Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 Also Hogan, Austin, Rock and Cena were all picks of varying degrees. Other than maybe Daniel Bryan has there ever been a pure face ar the top? And even he was never truly the top guy at his peak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chili Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 (edited) Might as well make Bianca the heel, like when they tried that with Becky Lynch. Edited August 23, 2021 by Chili Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So yeah, that makes it make even less sense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
