Have a great day, everyone, and may the slams be with you.
John Cena: John Cena hasn’t let up as he has quickly become that vindictive ex-lover he wants to be with us fans. However, that hasn’t stopped Randy Orton from speaking his mind about the current champ. In fact, Cena has been shoving it down our throats that he is the last real champ. I’m sure Roman Reigns would have something to say about that, but right now, he has his hands full with Paul Heyman’s faction. Cena not only remains at number one but also safe from any of those problems.
“Main Event” Jey Uso: Jey Uso moves up to the second spot, especially after what he did to Logan Paul on Monday Night RAW. Paul was running his mouth,h and Jey thought it would be great to come out and shut him up. He did that by delivering a super kick, which floored Paul immediately. If you have been reading my article,s then you know I love Paul’s move set and would love to see these two go at it. I feel they could both put on a five-star match that would have Dave Meltzer agreeing with me.
Seth “Freakin” Rollins: Seth Rollins has been trying to find another recruit for his faction but hasn’t had any luck so far. This week, he decided to ask Sami Zane to join, but that was quickly shut down by Sami telling Rollins to “Go to hell.” That infuriated Rollins, which led to our next wrestler coming out for a match with Zane.
Bron Breakker: Bron Breakker’s music hit after Sami told off Rollins. He then walked out, accompanied by Heyman, for his match with Sami. Sami fought valiantly, but he was ready for what he was about to receive from Bron, which was a beatdown. After multiple spears and chaos, Bron, Seth, and Paul left Sami beaten in the middle of the ring as we all get ready to step into a new era of the WWE.
Randy Orton: Randy Orton and John Cena have been amazing in their build for their match at Backlash. With Cody being out right now, this story is definitely going to cook, and this feud has been something I have wanted for years. I have always wanted Cena and Orton to have a big program together, but for some reason, it was never focused on much till now. So let’s all sit back and watch a story that has never been told.
C.M. Punk: C.M. Punk is still off of TV at the moment as the WWE gears up for his next plan with this ongoing story with Rollins. Now that Punk has no one to trust, he may have to find an unlikely friend to help him in the future. That could be Sami or maybe Roman, but regardless, he’ll need help or he’ll always be outnumbered by Seth’s new faction.
Roman Reigns: Roman Reigns is in the same boat with Punk, no matter if he likes it or hates it. With his Bloodline story finally done, Roman also has had some time off to refuel for the road to Summerslam. Will he and Punk align, or will Roman make amends with the Uso, so at least someone has his back? Only time will tell for this WWE superstar.
L.A. Knight: Sporting a new shirt that simply looks great, L.A. Knight came out to shoot a promo about Jacob Fatu, but that led to Damien Priest coming out. That only fueled WWE’s megastar by encouraging him to deliver a timeless promo, which I could see leading to a match against Priest at Backlash. Will Fatu be included, making it a triple-threat match for the title, or will this be a singles match? I’m fine with both scenarios since I’m a fan of both wrestlers.
Cody Rhodes: Cody Rhodes has been off TV since dropping the title at WrestleMania. That doesn’t mean he won’t be back, but after going hard for that long, some time off is deserved. Recently, the WWE has removed him from advertisements going forward, which means we won’t be seeing Cody until summer.
Gunther: Gunther is clearly pissed and took out all of his anger on Michael Cole and Pat McAfee. This has turned into a huge feud now after McAfee delivered an edgy promo which he delivered on RAW. Afterwards, RAW General Manager, Adam Pearce, approved his challenge at Backlash for Gunther and him to meet in the squared circle. This match isn’t going to be a normal celebrity match, though, because Pat has been in the ring multiple times and knows how to run the ropes. The only problem is he’s in the ring with the Ring General himself, Gunther.
