RAW Asks for Preferences for SummerSlam...

Happy Monday, Enthusiasts.

How are things going so far? Fair enough? It’s the beginning of the week. Feel free to ease into it. Well, the Wrestling World is kinda quite at the moment. There are a lot of on-going rumblings but not much new to report. This should be a “to the point” post.

With the Bloodline Saga now “at recess”, we have a little under a month to switch focus to SummerSlam. As we do that, there’s also more talk of LA Knight. Apparently, he was given a dark segment to help appease some vocal fans. I don’t mind Knight’s popularity. It took me a little while to catch-on so, I’m glad people are. Yet, again, I have not been impressed with the ring work I’ve seen. It’s his job on the mic that appears to really be putting him over.  So, that’s the only discrepancy I see in the way at present.  Let’s see where he is at the end of the year before making too many final conclusions.

Conversely, Grayson Waller is being said to be on the “push train” as those in the know feel he could be main eventing in good time. This is another one that I’m more familiar with his mouth than in-ring skills but the little preview given on last week’s SmackDown proved he has some moves so we will also keep an eye on him to see if he’s worth half his hype.

As for tonight’s RAW, well they have to do a sort of slow burn to next month and so Cody Rhodes will have a “message” for Brock Lesnar. We’ll see if it actually gets delivered. Alpha Academy will have a “graduation ceremony” for their new recruit in Maxxine Dupri. Logan Paul may be in attendance as well seeing how Ricochet has some words for him. And Drew McIntyre will pair with Matt Riddle to face Ludwig Kaiser and Giovanni Vinci in Tag Team action as McIntyre builds up to a match with Gunther. 

We’ll have to see if they dial McIntyre back any or allow him to try being a Face again. You know my preference. I think the “Roy Kent” route works best if they’re going there otherwise the Heel, hard-ass always lands. We’ll be watching and I’ll catch up along with the West Coast during the 8 o’clock hour, Pacific Time. Join the unofficial watch party if you’re able. 

See You in a Bit.
