WWE Payback had some interesting stories. Well first, Curtis Axel, who wasn't suppose to even be in the match, ends up making the most of this opportunity by pinning Barrett and just like his father, wins the IC Title. That was suppose to be Fandango....It's funny though, it worked out in the end. Axel wins the title his father won ON Father's Day. How planned was that? Is Fandango even really concussed? It works out SO well for Axel that I'm thinking that this was all planned to begin with. Or maybe there was some kind of divine intervention?
Regardless, congrats Axel. There's a bright future ahead for that young man.
AJ wins her first title but her boyfriend LOSES the World Title in a very interesting situation. Del Rio kept attacking Ziggler in the head, doing everything and anything to win the title while Ziggler was getting all the sympathy from the crowd. Did WWE do a double turn here? And so, WHY? I think Ziggler as a heel just works. Same with AJ. AJ played with Kaitlyn's emotions which ended up costing her the title. Are they REALLY going to turn AJ face? Ziggler can't be face with a heel girlfriend. Wrestling doesn't work like that. Anyway, I'm upset that Ziggler loses so quickly but that is the curse of the MITB. Now, if he IS a face, it looks like my previous post was irrelevant. Remember I complained that there was no big face making his way up the ranks in WWE? Maybe Ziggler will be that one? Hopefully, Ziggler recaptures the title before the end of the summer but I'll be keeping my eye on this storyline now.
I'm not a big fan of the decision to take the title off of Ziggler. I've been looking forward to his cash in since July and to have it all vanish so quickly, makes me disgusted, but it happens to ALL the winners and Edge and Punk made the best of it so maybe Ziggler will too. Right now though, I'm hating the decision.
Bryan and Orton lost last night in a good tag match. Are the rumors going to be true? Will Bryan get into a program with Cena starting tonight? It would be match of the year for sure. I don't care HOW they do it, I just want them TO do it. And it looks like Punk will be a face for this run. And it also look like a Punk/Lesnar match is in the works as well. They're teasing some tension between the two which will only result in a client VS client match, probably first with Axel then with Lesnar. I'm more interested in the Axel/Punk match than a match with Lesnar to be honest. What better way to put Axel over than to successfully defend his title against the longest reigning WWE Champion in the last 25 years?
WWE MITB is next month! Let's see if they announce any participants tonight! If they are to keep the current stipulations on each MITB, then here's who I think will be in each MITB match. Well, for the WWE Title one, I'd put Punk/Jericho/Miz/Kane/Orton/RVD/Sheamus in that one. That's a main event MITB right there! With the return of RVD and veteran ladder match combatants like Jericho, Kane, and Punk, you have an awesome match set. Will Punk win his 3rd straight MITB or will Jericho finally win a big one? As for the World Title one, I'm not sure the participants. Most likely, Axel/Fandango/Rhodes and more up-and-comers should be competing. I've been behind a Wade Barrett MITB win FOREVER so I'm obviously behind this win. It's wide open this so I'll wait until all participants are announced for a final prediction.
Mark Henry has a big announcement tonight. Is it retirement or something else entirely? Will the Wyatt Family finally debut? Will someone make the most of his announcement and make an example out of him? It's going to be interesting to see to say the least. Stay classy Internet!
