Oh, There's Big Show

Big Show finally returned. He returned on Raw during a segment involving The Shield, Rob Van Dam, and Mark Henry. The segment was very similar to something TNA had recently with Tito Ortiz. I'm not going to say more about that. However, it does look like Summerslam is taking shape even more.

First, you have the fact that Big Show is face again. He started the year as a heel, went face briefly to feud with The Shield, turned heel again, disappeared, and then comes back as a face again to feud with The Shield. I have been saying for weeks now that the WWE does not have a lot of top heels. Was turning Big Show face a good idea? Someone better be turning heel at Summerslam in that Cena/Bryan/Orton situation.

Rob Van Dam won a battle royal to get a shot at Dean Ambrose's United States title. Better than a random filler match for RVD. It would have been nice if they actually developed this feud, but this is still good. It was after that battle royal that The Shield came out to get Mark Henry and Rob Van Dam. Big Show came out. Big Show and Mark Henry going for those tag titles.

Question is, is it time for The Shield to drop the gold? All the gold? Some of the gold? You have some other tag teams in the division now. There are some other heel teams that could deserve more of the spotlight right now. Swagger and Cesaro? Bray Wyatt and his group can also be in that picture. The WWE has not done a great job in keeping The Shield looking interesting. Taking the tag titles off them would not be so bad. Considering a possible alternative would be having Big Show turn on Mark Henry and go heel again, a safer bet would just be to give the faces the titles. What's the point of giving The Shield a big win against two monsters, who have both been World Champions before, if you can't keep doing anything great with them after that? The Shield is just no longer fresh to keep the tag titles on them and the WWE is failing to try better. Where does that leave Ambrose and RVD? I can't picture the group losing the tag titles and Ambrose still out there with his title. It could be the start of an angle to split the group. Moreover, it really isn't unimaginable that RVD can lose here. It's not like he is still undefeated since his return. Would a short title run for RVD be good? The WWE has not really pushed him well since his return. I would have The Shield lose all their titles.
