Isenberg Reacts: WWE Raw “An Unexpected Star Fuels Raw in Omaha”

May 10, 2016

Why Sin Cara?

This bothered me on Raw. While Rusev wins a battle royal, he ends up losing to Sin Cara a week later. I get the idea behind it, but I hate it. Why must they push him down a notch after a big win a week ago? Rusev has more selling power and more ability to create compelling US Championship matches than Kalisto. I think the world of Kalisto, but how far has the United States Championship fallen since the strap was around his waist?

Kevin Owens vs. Zack Ryder

Zack Ryder wanted an opportunity to be involved in the Intercontinental Championship match at Extreme Rules. If he beat Kevin Owens, he would be included. He lost to Owens and it just makes sense.

I wouldn’t mind Ryder in the United States Championship match or even included in some sort of mid card feud, but the IC Championship picture is so good and so crowded with guys that are steps away from the main event, not miles away.

Ryder has his spot and has a good following, but let’s be realistic. Sami Zayn, Kevin Owens and Cesaro are guys who could become world champion. The Miz has been a world champion. Can we honestly put Zack in that pack?
