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.

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.

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.
SaitoRyo Posted August 23, 2021 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...

stevieg1980 Posted August 23, 2021 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.

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 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.
Paid Members air_raid Posted August 23, 2021 Paid Members 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 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.
Chili Posted August 23, 2021 Posted August 23, 2021 Might as well make Bianca the heel, like when they tried that with Becky Lynch.
