I like Reigns and I'm all for him looking strong.
Decent show that needed much more Ambrose. Oddly enough, his brief time on RAW tonight stole the show.

Cena is winning clean. Lesnar is showing up after. Much like Taker did after Henry/Angle at the Rumble.
SummerSlam gives us:
John Cena (c) vs. Brock Lesnar Roman Reigns vs. Triple H Seth Rollins vs. Dean Ambrose - MITB Kane vs. Randy Orton

speaking for myself.....
My opinion of who I would want "pushed" to a world title is just as relevant as someone else's who might be all for Reigns or Bray or Orton or Sheamus or anyone else really, getting it. It just so happens that for the last 7 months this company has been FORCING Roman Reigns into the spotlight in a "you'll like it because we tell you you'll like it" approach, and that completely turns me off to it. I don't want Reigns to be jobbed out and treated like crap....but why is he the ONLY guy that gets to ascend to the top of the ladder hotshot style while other guys who have been around MUCH longer and who are 1000x better than Reigns at EVERY aspect of wrestling, continue to tread water for no reason other than "we feel like pushing Reigns"
Why am I not allowed to enjoy a specific Wrestler and want to see said wrestler being treated like a legit star and not a middle-of-the-road directionless mush? That doesn't make me a hypocrite. I never said or will never say that Reigns shouldn't be getting the superman push...I just don't WANT it to be happening and I'm not enjoying it. WWE is free to push whoever they want, but I don't have to like it.
That, in essence, is what wrestling is all about. You...as a fan...don't HAVE to like who they tell you to like. You can cheer for and follow whomever you choose. It just gets frustrating to see the guys you like losing matches quite consistently.
I can compare it to sports teams. You have your favorite team in any sport....would you be fine if another team was just winning the championship all the time while your team just made the playoffs? Or how about if you're a fan of a team but every time they play they lose? Only getting a random win here and there smack in the middle of a season? It's the same general feeling all around. Whatever makes you, personally, enjoy or like a wrestler, it's frustrating to see them lose. In life we are all brought up to believe that winning = good. It's the most important thing in life, you don't get a World Championship by losing. Thus then, losing = frustration.
Point made.

Really, I'm just reminding myself that Battleground is filler for Summerslam.
I think I prefer MITB in July, that way we avoid this slump, or at least get it over with in the spring instead.

It's because it's not the guy that they want pushed. Now if it were someone like Cesaro or Ambrose getting pushed this way, the reactions would be the complete opposite. They this They that Stop throwing the whole site into a generalization. Only they would think that's a generalization.

Either A) Seth is legit hurt so they didn't want Ambrose out there beating him down when he's already hurt B) they didn't have anything for dean so had him taken out. So that the main focus was on the world title picture going into battleground.
I think it'll be a few hours before we get anything official from wwe if seth has been injured. Up until then its all speculation.

SummerSlam gives us: John Cena (c) vs. Brock Lesnar Roman Reigns vs. Triple H Seth Rollins vs. Dean Ambrose - MITB Kane vs. Randy Orton Cena is not winning clean. They need to kick off the build to HHH/Reigns somehow. Reigns will get screwed.

Reigns should NOT be getting the "superman push". See the thing is, if Reigns had the talent of Punk or Bryan, and/or the charisma of Punk, Jericho, Cena, Barrett, Wyatt, - or even Sandow, I wouldn't mind so much that they're forcing him into this spot - because he would at least be worthy of it... but... he doesn't, so I do mind. Not only will I not like the sub-standard choices they force on me, I will not support someone with so little in the way of talent, if they don't offer at least something in the way of entertainment - and Reigns offers me nothing, because with no wrestling ability, no mic skills, no charisma or personality to speak of, he has nothing to offer. Now some people clearly feel differently about Reigns - and that's up to them, and some people are obviously willing to accept mediocrity, but I for one, am not. I'm firmly in the anti-Reigns camp and proud of it. I must just say though, when Punk leaves, and Bryan gets injured, and we're left with Roman Reigns, it makes you appreciate the both of them that much more.

Once again I felt Jericho's stuff was the best thing on RAW, that's how you cut a promo by not making a mockery of Bray, take notes Cena. And people still say John elevated Wyatt by beating the all 3 of the Family, losing thanks to a child and then literally burying him at Payback. Chris will hopefully put it right and helped him back up.
