Big Show Gets What He Wants, Then Gets Beaten Up

I like how Raw ended. Big Show got rehired, pressured Triple H and Stephanie McMahon to also give him a title shot, and then still got destroyed by the heels. The reason why I like this segment, besides seeing Kane getting used in a new way, is that all members of the heel stable actually stood strong at the end of the show. The Shield put Big Show through a table. Randy Orton gave him an RKO. The Director of Furniture tossed around some chairs. That is to say, Kane showed his support for the heels. After saying for a while now that they were not developing a strong heel stable for this storyline, the stable looked solid last night.

One thing I do not agree with is the storyline progression for Big Show. I think they could have done better than simply rehiring him and giving in to him. Would a match between Triple H and Big Show have been so bad for Survivor Series? It is one of the top PPVs of the year. Then again, it might still eventually come after Big Show feuds with Randy Orton. Back to rehiring Big Show. What if they had settled this with a Survivor Series elimination match. A bunch of faces standing up for Big Show step up to face Triple H's guys. If Big Show's team wins, he gets rehired. If the heel team wins, Big Show must walk away. I don't agree with this whole lawsuit angle. As some fans might have already pointed out, Big Show did all this to get rehired, then he gets attacked right after? Why wouldn't he just refuse to put up with Triple H and Stephanie's games and follow through with the lawsuit? Survivor Series is approaching. I have been speculating on a few big tag matches they could have done, including Team Punk vs. Team Heyman and Team Orton vs. Team Cena, but it looks like they are not doing any of that. I think they are passing up on great opportunities to make a great tag match.

Back to Kane. They obviously had no problem repackaging him. Question is, should they have followed through with doing it with The Wyatts? Make Kane a member of that group? The Wyatts aren't exactly left out in the cold. They are feuding against two former World Champions, CM Punk and Daniel Bryan. The WWE definitely could have switched things around. Have Kane remain in the storyline involving The Wyatts, whether as a friend or foe. If he is feuding against the group, keep Miz in there to team with him. If he is joining the group, keep Miz in there for The Wyatts to finish their feud against him. Where does that leave Daniel Bryan and CM Punk? Keep Daniel Bryan in the corporate storyline. Finally bring CM Punk into the corporate storyline. Despite that being an option, I like how they have handled the situation. Kane in the corporate heel stable seems to make it a little more stable. This is a member they are not forcing to attack people he does not want to attack, screwing out of title reigns because they are not aggressive enough, and putting into crazy matches. Well, so far. Kane can make this interesting. Aside from the lack of continuity in regards to killing off his feud against The Wyatts so easily, I like what they are doing with Kane.
