Even when it looks like he might pull it off, he finds a way to fumble it away.Ī-Lister: These Miz-Damien Mizdow segments don't work all that well without the crowd interaction, do they?Īdam Rose vs. So what does Axel do? He misreads the gigantic clock the very first time he makes any reference to it. They actually went with the grand idea to put a running clock up on the Titantron showing how long Axel has been in the Royal Rumble match. WWE has actually come up with great creative for a struggling character that should do wonders in helping him get over despite himself and yet Axel finds a way to screw it up. Fandango: Even when they get it right, Axel gets it wrong.
2015 MACDOWN ATLANTA PROFESSIONAL
Saxton & Reigns, Reigns & Saxton: Both Byron Saxton and Roman Reigns have redeemable qualities, clear cut strengths in professional wrestling. He is the far lesser version of John Cena: He never gives up but he always loses. Every single time Rusev has a break from whatever program he may be in at any given moment, Swagger comes rushing in to battle him and he ALWAYS loses. Jack Swagger is still trying, bless his heart: Swagger's dogged determination to take Rusev out might be my favorite thing at this point.

This had it all, and it was fun, and it's building to what could be the show stealing match at this year's WrestleMania. Here, they spent an entire show teasing involvement, giving the story meaning, and playing Barrett and Truth for laughs. I guess Seth Rollins because he has the Money in the Bank briefcase? Outside of that, nothing. Hell, that's better than the WWE world title scene, is it not? You've got Brock Lesnar, Roman Reigns, and then.

What better way to kick off a strong reign? Or even a good back-and-forth battle over it?

So how about Daniel Bryan and Dean Ambrose in 2015? Sure enough, we're getting a ladder match for the title at WrestleMania 31 next month. You could argue that belt was at its best when Shawn Michaels and Bret Hart were battling over it. His mere decision to do so adds an air of importance to it. It seems Daniel Bryan is making good on his promise to become the leader of SmackDown and his first act outside the WWE world heavyweight title picture is to turn his focus to the Intercontinental strap. In six months time, at no point did WWE attempt to simply elevate its secondary title, the Intercontinental championship. He is a part-timer who has worked just two matches and around 15 television dates since then.
