The League of Nations Problem
I like the idea of this, but I hate the execution of it. The League of Nations could be really good, but they are temporary and apparently have no steam behind them. Why? It may be the lack of stables, competition and the repetitiveness of their opponents such as Jimmy and Jey Uso. It might be because Del Rio and Rusev are not the best talkers. It could also be because all four men should come out together ALL THE TIME. Where is Barrett? Just because he is hurt does not mean he has to be backstage and not appear on television. Just because Sheamus is in a match doesn’t mean he can’t come out and support his brothers.
Also, Rusev and Lana’s reunion means nothing now. Where is she? What does this reunion do for them? Overshadowed, overbooked and has multiple holes already. Luckily, the match was pretty good and entertaining. Del Rio’s new finisher is brutal, while Rusev’s underrated athleticism makes his work more impressive with his size.
Social Outcasts
Heath Slater surprises Dolph Ziggler with a win, beating two world champions in the past year. First Seth and now Dolph.
The bigger story is about him, Curtis Axel, Adam Rose and Bo Dallas creating a stable called “Social Outcasts.” Interesting development with a bunch of random guys thrown together and see if something can stick. Honestly, I do not see this going for a while. Wait, I can see it going for a while but not being successful whatsoever. I want something for these guys, but there is only so much you can do with characters that have been wasted so much. Who knows, maybe they will be something?
