I kinda see the opposite.

I imagine Bryan's comeback trail has him coming heads up with Lesnar, beating him in a grueling, hard fought victory, and Brock going monkey shit that he's basically run roughshod over what he considers "legitimate threats" and loses to "somone not on my radar".

My questions at this point are:

1) How are they going to handle Brock being "the man" with his whole limited days sitch... I mean, in that they've storyline stripped people of various titles up to and including Danielson for "not being able to defend", and then you give *THE* title go a guy who will barely be around to defend? Stretching the suspension of disbelief thin there.

2) What does this mean for Seth? No way in hell he's going up against Brock. That would just be another wasted MITB holder.

Paul Heyman said on the MMA Hour Brocks contract has him working more days when he is champ.

Well, I'll say that I really enjoyed SummerSlam. It was a great PPV pretty much from top to bottom.

The only downside was Paige winning the title, but we all know my stance on Paige, but other than that, great PPV.

I hope though that Paige/AJ ends after AJ's rematch and we get someone else in the title picture. I just can't be doing with hearing Paige scream all the time, or attempt to show she has mic skills. She's abysmal on the mic. I would like to see crazy Alicia Fox back in the title picture, or maybe even Natalya.

Anyway, more positive things now and I'd say the match of the night was probably Rollins/Ambrose. Ziggler becoming Intercontinental Champion was pretty great too and it's about time he has his hands on a title again. I get the feeling now that we'll see Ziggler as champion until Barrett comes back. Then we'll see Ziggler/Barrett at whatever PPV is next after Barrett's return. Also, what was with Miz's back? It was completely red, like he got some pretty back sunburn or something.

I was somewhat surprised that Rusev won his match though. I thought that with a storyline like this, with it being USA vs Russia, a big stage would be great for Rusev being handed his first loss, and it being to an All-American American.

Though I will say that it was pretty cool to see a massive Russian flag above the ring, while the Russian National Anthem plays (great anthem by the way) and Rusev and Lana standing triumphantly with their flag over the bodies of their fallen American foes.



Such a strong image. It's great.

A quick mention on Stephanie/Brie, and it went pretty much the way I thought it would, though much like everyone else, I too thought Stephanie was looking "Bonerific" last night. Like I said previously, my initial thoughts were that she looked like some kind of sex mistress. Though she was looking in great shape last night and she also looked like she hadn't aged at all. But when she's not wearing her wrestling attire, she does look her age, so I don't know what all that's about. Maybe it was the way her hair was last night, I don't know.

Anyway, for the first time in a long time, I really enjoyed Randy Orton in a match. I don't know what it was, but he was great in his match with Reigns, but it was pretty obvious that Reigns was going to win. I'm just curious to see where Orton goes from here now. Though I will say that I liked the taped hands and different coloured trunks, even though it was only grey. I think Orton should stay away from black trunks for a while and mix it up with various coloured trunks along with his taped hands.

Lesnar/Cena was pretty mad. I don't think I've ever seen Cena get mauled like he did, and I don't think I've ever seen such a one sided PPV Main Event. Still, it'll be interesting to see what happens now as the WWE Champion is now a part-timer. Though now, with Cena losing, if he ever wins the title back, he'll be tied with Flair with sixteen World Title reigns. A part of me looks forward to seeing the reaction that gets, if it ever happens.

I bet Rusev was thrilled, seeing how he's Bulgarian and they like ruskis about as much as we do.

Ok, I know it's a job and kayfabe and all, but it is kinda silly how any Eastern European must be Russian.
