Alexa Bliss? And who knows? Maybe Peyton Royce wins.Įmail Rob at or check us out on Twitter. If she really is hurt, why not do a Fatal Four-Way to crown a new champion? Maybe…Charlotte vs. The whole tirade could have revolved around Peyton Royce needing an opportunity at Asuka and the Raw Women’s Championship so she could finally quiet her mind. “My potential haunts me.” That should have been the thesis for the whole promo. And inevitably, that sometimes comes at the expense of other talents. But fair or unfair, they push her to the moon. She’s extremely talented and has earned her spot in that company. “Why not me? Why does it always have to be the same old, same old?” This is me projecting on to Peyton, but when she said that the person I thought of was Charlotte Flair. But it wasn’t what she was trying to say. That’s a route you could take, I suppose. “Why not just let me go? Let me go and see what happens?” In hindsight, she should have been careful about her wording. But I’d still rather see this on Raw than some of the scripted garbage we’re fed on a weekly basis. It wasn’t the best promo from an execution standpoint. That’s what was really on display here from Peyton Royce. While this kind of promo has almost become routine over the last decade, I can’t hate on somebody for putting a voice to their passion. But still…ouch.Į mail Rob at or check us out on Twitter. And I’m sure he got a really nice payday out of it, regardless. I mean, it was due to outside interference. He came into the match a hero, perfectly teed up to be the guy to finally end Roman’s tyrannical run at the top.
The guy was one of only a few remaining credible opponents for Roman Reigns. That was all I could think about when this show was over.
But if we can get crowds like this on a more regular basis, I think it’d be worth it. I’m sure WWE is hesitant to do more big overseas shows like this because of the time difference. Primary Ignition wouldn’t have been able to get over, had she been watching with me. And yet, what I’m thinking about today is what Rollins wore during his entrance. You could argue it was the match of the night. Seth Rollins and Matt Riddle definitely delivered. That might have been my favorite part of the entire night. Go back and look at Edge’s face when Dominik Mysterio kicks him below the belt. No disrespect, but during her days as a dominant killer on NXT, could you even conceive of her losing a match to Liv Morgan? Much less a pay per view championship match? At this point, her best bet might be to go away and come back in a a few years for a fresh start.
On the subject of the belt itself, now that we’re in this new era, can we please get the classic IC Title back? You’re never going to get a better looking belt design than that one.Ĭan Shayna Baszler’s main roster run be salvaged at this point? Under Vince McMahon’s direction, WWE has spent these last few years absolutely murdering her credibility. With luck, this is just the beginning of what he’ll do for that belt. Title) as a coveted prize, there may be no one better equipped to give us a new catalog of great Intercontinental Title matches than Gunther. This is one of those instances where I certainly wouldn’t be opposed to a rematch or two.Īt a time when WWE is trying to reestablish the Intercontinental Title (as well as the U.S. You knew these guys were going to go in there and beat the crap out of one another, and they definitely didn’t disappoint in that respect.
But even so, his match with Sheamus was probably the match I was looking forward to the most. I had only seen a few of the renowned matches Gunther (then known as WALTER) had in NXT UK. Those two had one of the all-time great pay per view main events at Summerslam ’92 all those years ago. But that was a nice way to earn some points with the long-time fans. Very classy for them to pay tribute to Davey Boy Smith and Bret Hart the way they did. Here are a few quick musings from WWE Clash at the Castle… And with all the positive changes we’ve seen recently now that Triple H is the…*double-checks his new job title*…chief content officer of WWE, things looked promising. (Actually, I guess they’re called “premium live events” now.) Last night was one such night, as for the first time in 30 years, WWE presented a major show from the United Kingdom. And I’ll tune in a few times a year to the big pay per view events. I do, however, usually follow along with what’s happening via social media. A couple years ago, I simply tagged out and haven’t come back… Not only do my job(s) not really allow it, but the quality of WWE programming has been on a steady decline for more than 10 years now. I don’t watch Raw or Smackdown regularly anymore.
