Where Is Big Show? Et Al?

Where is Big Show? I could have sworn he was supposed to be coming back this week. When they announced that Daniel Bryan would run the gauntlet, it seemed obvious that Big Show would be in there somewhere. Even after Ryback put Daniel Bryan through a table, I expected Brad Maddox to still force Daniel Bryan to face one more wrestler, which would be Big Show. Nothing. If you are running a storyline where Daniel Bryan is not big enough and strong enough to be WWE Champion, bringing Big Show in as a supporting player would be a good idea. He has held the WWE Championship before, and he's definitely big and strong. He would be better than Ryback.

Where is Randy Orton? The WWE has been suspicious in their lack of mentioning him. Leads me to believe that this really is all just an angle. If he was really seriously injured, they would definitely make a bigger deal out of that. If it is just an angle, Randy Orton going on Twitter after WWE.com reported his injury and downplaying it by saying not to believe everything you read on the Internet really becomes funny. The company is trying to make people believe you are injured to set up a surprise cash in, but you just shrug it off like that? Should he have gotten on the same page as the WWE and played it up better? If the WWE is planning a swerve, would it have been better if they just took Orton out of everything after last week's Smackdown without any explanation at all? The whole injury thing led many fans to immediately suspect what can be coming for Summerslam. Not saying anything at all might have made people wonder a little longer. It might sound stupid that Orton could disappear like that and the commentators would not mention it, but you can also say it is stupid for them to say Orton suffered a serious injury and not make a bigger deal out of it to get people to buy it.

You don't need to ask where Kane is anymore. He is coming back. Technically, because Raw has already been taped for next week, he is already back. The Wyatts had taken him out when they debuted. Is Kane coming back for revenge? No, he's coming back to face Daniel Bryan. I don't like that. It is true that Kane and Daniel Bryan have a history together. The fact that Kane is a big man also makes him a good choice to face Daniel Bryan in the current storyline. I still say Big Show was the best choice. Kane should be coming back with focus on Bray Wyatt and his stable. Whether he is coming back as a brainwashed member of the stable or to call them out for revenge, they should be his target when he returns. I already get the feeling that the WWE will mess up with Bray Wyatt.
