It's the RAW Road to SummerSlam

Greetings, Enthusiasts!

Well, we last left RAW with Samoa Joe salvaging a poorly set-up contest between Roman Reigns and Braun Strowman and let’s be honest, Enthusiasts.  This contest fell flat because it was set-up with lackluster promos.  Neither of these gentlemen are known for their mic skills which is why the timing for that sort of set-up should probably be reconsidered.  Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for pushing people into the pool.  They gotta learn to swim but, since we’re heading into Summer Slam, I would think the WWE would like to lead with strength rather than expose weaknesses.  The goal should be drumming up business not driving it away.  Promo experimentation can happen at just about any other time.  I would stick to compelling confrontations for now.  Let those who can rock the mic, rock it and let others do what they do best.  You know, just sell this shit!  Sell it in honor of the festivities to come.  Retool/test after or well before, in my humble opinion.  Is this a big deal or what?

So, that brings us to tonight which is cloaked in mystery as no formal matches have been announced outside of Nia Jax vs. Sasha Banks to see who gets to box Alexa Bliss come Sunday.  We can also expect Brock Lesnar to make an appearance but to what extent, I have no idea.   Last week he displayed how he would lay waste to all who dare challenge him in a Fatal-4-Way and a clear statement was made.  Will there be more of the same…possibly.  Hopefully it will be to new foils but who knows.  They could make the night interesting.  It is a “Go Home” show after all, will they whet our appetites for hours upon hours of summertime wrestling mayhem?  It’s what I would try to do.  Funny tweets get retweeted and Likes/Favorites will waft in as genius does.

See You in a Bit,
