Weekly Wrasslin’ Wroundup (12/11-13)

In WWE tradition, a good joke run into the ground.

A lot of water treading as we head into Clash of Champions this weekend, but there were at least a few Events Of Significance.


Now Daniel Bryan’s A Referee Too

Because we have to make sure the tag match at Clash of Champions is about, in order, Shane McMahon, Daniel Bryan, Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn, Randy Orton, and Shinsuke “Still Here, Guys!” Nakamura.

Dolph Ziggler’s No-Entrance Entrance Gimmick Is Gone Already

So much for that idea. He’s back to Cocky Heel Ziggler.

Told You It’d Be Alexander

Sure, they made him go through another Second Chance Fatal Four Way to get it, but Cedric Alexander is officially Rich Swann’s replacement in the cruiserweight contendership deal. They’re hinting at a Gulak win and possible face turn, which I would be on board for, especially after the incredible tease of it they did on 205 Live.

Aleister Black Advances

He beat Adam Cole to join Killian Dain and Johnny Gargano in the Fatal Four-Way for the #1 Contendership. A little odd to have Adam Cole take an L in like his second singles match ever, but whatever.

It’s Absolution Against Everyone

After weeks of pissing off faces and heels alike, Paige, DeVille, and Rose went after Asuka, which brought out all the women to fight them off. Interesting turn of events, not sure where it goes from there though.

Nothing Else Really Hpapened On Raw

They’re doing that thing where they just mix and match the upper midcard feuds, which right now is The Shield vs. The Bar and Samoa Joe with Jason Jordan hovering around the outside bugging everybody. And there were matches but nothing came of them. Kane and Strowman was ostensibly for a shot at Lesnar but it went to a double countout and brawl. And in “WWE sees fans like something organic then ruins it by trying to do it on purpose”, the dueling laughing videos between Wyatt and Woke Matt are back, but more contrived and annoying.
