    I'm not sure having somebody turn on John Cena is the best way to turn somebody heel because a lot of the audience is going to like AJ more than Cena but the whole "I'm doing the world a favor" thing hints at maybe more interesting stuff to come...

    Like what?

    Guys, I....really have not enjoyed this episode

    I liked the little Dean Ambrose Is Weirded Out By Canadians Segment

    But the rest has had like, no care for continuity or changing any dynamics, and the Cena speech was just uncomfortable, and Titus beating up Rusev was super weirdly hostile, and that Charlotte promo being super pitying to Ric despite the whole point of that speech being like "yo Ric you were a pretty shit father and I can stand on my own two feet, thanks", and the weird beatdown on the New Day by Ganderson for NO REASON

    I'm hoping the main event is good but yeesh

    That should have been a longer and better match but I like watching Dana Brooke a lot

    I'm pretty sure the reason there was implied.

    And they portrayed Ric as sympathetic because a ton more people than us still love him.

    Not saying that justifies it but that's just how it is.

    Yeah, the lift was super awkward, Nattie had to kind of hang out and let herself get crushed for no reason.

    Stealing a 15 year old promo isn't the best Zig.

    Wait how is the Titus and Rusev segment being "overly hostile" a bad thing exactly? It's wrestling, they did their jobs well.

    It doesn't make sense within the confines of the story they wrote

    Doesn't matter that a lot of people love him

    The story should naturally have been that Charlotte outgrew him and their relationship stopped her from succeeding on her own right

    That was the point of keeping him from ringside

    It makes no sense for everyone to then go BUT HE'S YOUR FATHER AND YOU'RE A BAD PERSON immediately after what they'd been building to for months

    The Rusev thing was mostly awkward because the subtext that was basically text was "this immigrant isn't American enough to have the US title, especially on Memorial Day"

    Titus, the babyface, just ran in and decked a guy in the face for no reason other than he doesn't like him

    Its a bad look

    Yeah I won't defend the lack of continuity. But again it's just the way WWE does things now and you either accept it or give up.
