Assorted Thoughts On 6/2/14 Raw

You have your turn. Seth Rollins turned on The Shield and joined Evolution. I am glad they did not drag this on for weeks. This feud was really getting stale. Batista had quit earlier in the show. That opened up the question of whether or not they would replace him to continue the feud against The Shield. I was thinking Cody Rhodes might end up as the new member of Evolution. When Seth Rollins went out to get those chairs, his possible turn entered my mind. A lot of fans seem upset about it. The Shield would have broken up sooner or later. Let's see how it plays out.

Is John Cena ready to be inserted back into title matters? I had said just yesterday that I didn't feel the storyline between Cena and Wyatt got proper closure. On Raw, Cena got involved in the issues between Stephanie McMahon and Daniel Bryan. Daniel Bryan's injury leading to Cena being forced back into the title picture would be a believable excuse to not continue his feud against Wyatt. Could go either way. Bray Wyatt is returning on Smackdown this week. If the feud is going to continue, it will probably be brought up there.

Rusev had this elaborate segment on Raw. It just seemed totally pointless. I was waiting to see if anyone would interrupt him. If Rusev had beaten a better opponent than Big E or had beaten Big E in a feud that had been developed a lot better, I could understand that segment they had for him. Not the case. This shows that this gimmick does have potential. They can make up segments like they had last night. They can hype this guy to be a big deal. But the feud development for Rusev needs to be a lot better than this. That is how you make him into something that people won't view as simply overrated. Make him into a strong heel.
