Hope everybody enjoyed my review of WrestleMania 28. Now we are back to regular scheduled
programming. Two Sundays ago, WWE put on
what has been said to be the best Over the Limit event out them all. While not perfect, the show was said to offer
a good amount of quality wrestling especially the World Title Fatal 4 Way and
Punk vs. Bryan. Those are two of the
reasons I will most likely be picking Over the Limit up when it releases on DVD
next month. Since Over the Limit it has
been an eventful couple of weeks as WWE builds towards the return of No Way Out
in two weeks.
Big Show’s Path of
Destruction
Only two weeks ago, Big Show was out of a job thanks to John
Laurinaitis. Only two weeks ago, Big Show
turned heel as he helped Mr. Laurinaitis beat John Cena in the main event of
Over the Limit. While a predictable turn
of events, I was honestly surprised that WWE would go this direction with Big
Show. I thought he would stay the jolly
giant character he has played the last two years until he inevitably
retired. At first, I did not care about
Big Show’s turn, but it has grown on me considering how the WWE is building him
like the monster he should be. This
week, Big Show was booked in a match with the Funkasaurus Brodus Clay. It was an intriguing match as it looked like
Brodus would get some actual competition for once, but that never happened as
Big Show hit Brodus with a huge spear before the match. What followed was an incredible beatdown as
Big Show continually hit Brodus with the side of the announce table, bounced
R-Truth off the wires of the ring ropes and threw Kofi Kingston through the
ringside barricade. Big Show’s path of
destruction continued on Smackdown as well.
Big Show attacked Santino Marella and Zack Ryder after their match
against Darren Young and Titus O’Neil.
The devastation Big Show left was a message to his opponent at No Way
Out, John Cena that Big Show means business this time around. While it is yet another feud between Big Show
and John Cena, it will be interesting to see how their Steel Cage Match at No
Way Out turns out. Are they building Big
Show only to get squashed under the weight of Super Cena or are they going to
continue to build Big Show as Mr. Laurinaitis’ monster? Only time will tell.
The Big Red Monster
Joins the WWE Title Picture
A few weeks ago, Daniel Bryan introduced Kane into his feud
with CM Punk when he tricked the Big Red Monster into attacking CM Punk as Kane
thought Punk hit him with a steel chair, where in reality it was Bryan that hit
Kane. The following week on Raw, Punk
got even with Bryan as he tricked Kane into attacking Bryan by handing the
American Dragon a steel chair while Kane was not looking. These events led to Mr. Laurinaitis booking
CM Punk vs. Kane for the WWE Championship this past Friday on Smackdown. The match was a back-and-forth affair that
saw CM Punk and Kane give it their all.
The match seemed to be going without a hitch until Daniel Bryan showed
up. First Bryan tried to distract Punk
while he was on the top rope, but that did not work out for the American
Dragon. His second attempt to interfere
in the match did work as Bryan hit an impressive missile dropkick on both Punk
and Kane (one leg for each superstar) causing the ref to stop the match as a
result of a no contest. The brawl did
not stop though as Punk and Bryan went at it before Kane came in and hit them
with a double chokeslam. This crazy
series of events would come to an end when Mr. Laurinaitis would roll on out in
his People Power scooter and announce that the WWE Championship match at No Way
Out will be a Triple Threat Match between CM Punk, Kane and Daniel Bryan. While I and many others would have loved to
see another CM Punk vs. Daniel Bryan singles match, this Triple Threat Match should
be a very fun affair considering how great these three have been the last few
weeks on both Raw and Smackdown. Also
this Triple Threat Match will draw out the CM Punk vs. Daniel Bryan feud even
longer and could possibly set-up for another singles match at Money in the Bank
or even Summerslam.
