Morning and I hope everyone is as well as can be. Today I am going to give you MY OPINION on current storylines and things that I have been reading about. Will also keep you up on what is heading to Night of Champions
Dolph Ziggler sitting in for Samoa Joe today
Drew McIntyre/Keith Lee/Randy Orton — Drew send Randy to the hospital last week it was about time. Drew was informed that if Randy is not cleared to compete, IF Keith wins tonight that he will face Drew for the Belt at Night of Champions.
Street Profits ( which I love, came up from NXT) facing Smackdown Tag Team Cesaro/Shinsuke. I am a big fan of Montez Ford, Cesaro seems to do better in a tag team setting than on his own. Shinsuke was amazing in NXT but his transition to WWE, I thought be more of a babyface but Shinsuke plays a heel well. The experience of the Street Profits being together longer paid off as they gained the win.
The Hurt Business Storyline is a bunch of bullies, throwing temper tantrums if they dont get their way.(MY opinion remember) I was not happy when they took the United States Belt off Apollo and put it on Bobby. (WHY). Ricochet against Cedric (The Viking Raiders are out at the moment with Ivar not cleared due to a minor injury) Of, Course 4 on 2 never ends well. Erick is facing Bobby later in a singles match. Retribution had just reared its ugly head once again. (I have read that it is some of the kids from NXT, there are some missing from the roster so to see them maybe get the call up BUT, remember that Survivor Series is coming, is this a possible storyline heading in that direction?)
Asuka facing Mickey James for the Women’s Title. It’s time for Classic Asuka from NXT, she had a what over 400 days run with the women’s title, time for another one. (Mickey has been out for over a year with a knee injury) This should be a good match provided, Lana/Natalya do not interfere. The ref stopped the match with Mickey. Zelina in the ring, screaming at Asuka. Zelina screaming that she is ready and coming for the title. (With Charlotte out, for now, no clue when she will return they need to refresh the women’s division.
Erick vs Bobby Lashley — Needless to say Bobby with the full nelson takes out the win.
Recap of the match between, Murphy and Dominick. Murphy in the locker room with Seth, (I still do not get this storyline at all. What is it that Seth was supposed to do, what a narcissist. I would have thought this story would have ended by now but they are dragging it out for some reason. Becky is due soon, they will have to get Seth off soon so he can be home for the birth. Not sure what the steel cage is supposed to prove? Park of Rey signing another contract was to help Dom get settled in the ring, giving him some guidance. Murphy went after Rey but took out Seth, Murphy now trying to stop Dom but Murph went flying. Dominick is holding his own. Nothing Dom could do after 2 stomps, give Dom the great credit for holding his own but enough of this storyline. It’s time Murphy stood up to Seth.
Mandy Rose had been traded to RAW, The Miz most likely had a hand it, storyline him trying to steal the Money in the Bank contract that Otis has. (Once again, The Miz, throwing a temper tantrum not liking something or someone that he thinks is not good enough to hold it, so they make Miz the bully who will stop at nothing to make sure he ruins Otis, gets the contract, along with the title shot)
Kevin Owens facing Aleister Black in the ring. Not sure about this storyline, it’s lopsided but after Randy went to Aleister to help him, beat Kevin this is one trying to sort out. Thanks to a distraction, Owens with a stunner for the win. It’s a gutsy win.
The Riott Squad against Natalya/Lana with Nia/Shayna at ringside. It didn’t take much for Ruby/Liv to get the job done today.
**This should be good when Sasha returns to Smackdown on Friday/Saturday. Bayley says she used Sasha all along but time to see what happens with Sasha, hoping she is going after Bayley’s belt and she takes it in a major beatdown.
Drew McIntyre on his way to the ring facing Keith Lee. IF Keith wins today along with Randy not medically cleared, Keith Lee gets the spot at Night of Champions( ambulance match) Retribution in the ring going after Keith/Drew.
Im so over this Retribution storyline. It’s running some good matches. Here comes The Hurt Business. (Here’s a thought for you, is it NXT with a set up for Survivor Series?) Keith, Drew went flying to take everyone out, Keith/ Drew are the last men standing.
Those are my thoughts on storylines up to this point, dont forget that Clash of Champions is Sunday week, and I will see you next for NXT.
