Summer Slam's Payback Is Complete! RAW Now Wants You to Think of Clash of Champions...
Hello, Enthusiasts! How is this Monday treating you? Well, did you catch Payback? To be honest, it was a lot cleaner show than I was anticipating. Though the creative issues are still there, WWE is at least making the most of what is working which couldn’t always be said in the past. There’s still a lot of work to be done but for the first time since I’ve started watching again, it appears that they’re actually going to take a shot at doing it. So, there were some pleasant surprises at Payback, the most underrated of which was probably the opening match with Apollo Crews and Bobby Lashley. This was the best display of wrestling for the night. I suppose we shouldn’t be too surprised but I certainly wasn’t expecting Lashley and Crews to come out and set the tone but they did and popular or not, they established themselves as true forces to be reckoned with in the WWE Universe. Kudos to them! Also, a little side play from Buddy Murphy continues to prove interesting.
