While I’m never going to be upset about doing well in our predictions contest for the yr here at WINC, these predictable WWE shows, after what I believed was a fairly lame and mostly predictable WrestleMania 42, are getting old, fast. I do not know if Paul “Triple H” Levesque is past his booking prime already, but I even have to say that I’m borderline bored, even with premium live events.<\/p>\n

I believed it was extremely obvious that essentially the most over talent, World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns, WWE Women’s Champion Rhea Ripley, and Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes, were staying over. Meaning, none of them were going to lose their titles, so in fact, Women’s Intercontinental Champion Becky Lynch was going to lose hers to fan-favorite, the super-over Sol Ruca, despite Ruca not yet scoring a victory on the predominant roster. Something<\/em> needed to occur on this show, and that was the one place it was ever going to. Though I hated the very fact, Brock Lesnar beating Oba Femi was also pretty obvious, as we’re moving into the direction of a rubber match between the pair for Femi to hopefully officially retire Lesnar in his adopted home state of Minnesota at SummerSlam.<\/p>\n

When Fatu walked out to little noise from such a loud crowd, I knew that irrespective of how much I wanted him to beat Reigns, there was no way WWE was going to book Reigns to lose in front of such a hot, international crowd. I didn’t think the match was bad or anything, I just saw the consequence coming a mile away, and even at the tip, the reveal of Solo Sikoa and the MFTs at ringside was super lame. Cool, they’re on “SmackDown,” I assume they only randomly showed as much as gloat to Fatu that they were right, or something.<\/p>\n

I used to be hoping for a significant return, and I believed that will have been Randy Orton through the opening match pitting Rhodes against GUNTHER. Nope. That match, with its predictable consequence, just had a seemingly quick, lame finish, though no less than WWE arrange a rematch for “The Ring General.” I do not know what Orton is as much as without delay, but live to tell the tale ESPN, in front of a global crowd, would have been a superb place for him to return. Sadly, that wasn’t meant to be, and now I assume we’re getting Rhodes vs. GUNTHER again somewhere down the road, perhaps at Night of Champions if they are not doing Rhodes vs. Reigns.<\/p>\n

I didn’t think any of the wrestling on today’s show was bad, by any means. I’m just quickly growing bored of all the pieces. Something exciting and unpredictable must occur to drag me back in.<\/p>\n
