Title This: WWE Raw Reaction “Superstars Return on the Road To SummerSlam”

July 1, 2014

The Undercard

wwe raw reaction Kofi Kingston defeated Ceasro

I think this is a step down for Cesaro. I fear that WWE does not know what they should really do with him right now. The guy is a stud in the ring and has the best mouthpiece in WWE. I wish WWE gave him a chance in the Fatal Four Way to keep him involved in main event storylines on Raw and Smackdown. There is no need for Kane to be in that match. The match with Kofi was longer than expected, but it ultimately just told the fans that Cesaro is going to be stuck in the mid card status for the time being. With him losing on the WWE App, what does that tell you? I know what it tells me.

Score: 4.5/10

Dolph Ziggler and Summer Rae

Ziggler and Fandango have a match, somewhat. Summer Rae comes out and she makes out with Ziggler, which I think is best for both involved. Ziggler always thrives with women by his side. Look at how important he was with Vickie or AJ, so this could help him feel more important while giving Summer Rae a really good face turn to work with.

Score: 6/10

Seth Rollins defeated Rob Van Dam

I really enjoyed this match for a few reasons. I can see a little bit of RVD in Seth's offensive techniques. Rollins attacks his opponent primarily with kicks to the lower body. This allows him to fasten the pace and really explode onto his opponent. Rollins picks up the win in a really solid bout. After the match, Dean Ambrose says he will never let Rollins cash in.

The involvement of Ambrose in the promo after the match was much needed. You need to remember what the money feud is. Thankfully, this feud was before Rollins won the briefcase. Previously, WWE books briefcase holders very lazy. Look at how many were booked in previous years. This will not happen with Rollins and it is because of Ambrose and how important Rollins is right now in the WWE.

Score: 7/10

Zeb and Swagger Turn Face

This was stellar. WWE finally did the right thing when finding a new opponent for Rusev. I was okay with Big E at first, but they really needed a Real American to stand up against Rusev and Lana. How great was it to hear the crowd erupt for a guy who deserves it? One that is underrated in the ring and one who has Zeb to guide him to hopefully resurrect his career. This could be really good for both guys, even though we know the outcome. We know that Swagger cannot possibly hand Rusev his first loss, could he? The crowd was hot and that tells me something. It tells me WWE could possibly strike gold on all four involved and make a mid card feud seem much more important in the long run. Give it time.

Score: 8/10
