When outcomes matter — and do not
Wins and losses do not matter in WWE — till wins and losses do matter. For instance, on Monday’s version of “Uncooked,” LA Knight misplaced his fourth singles match since going through Seth Rollins for the World Heavyweight Championship on Aug. 4. It does not trouble me a lot that he’ll tackle the winner of Saturday’s Heavyweight Championship match between CM Punk and Jey Uso, as a result of if he takes the title, he’ll nonetheless be a plausible champion. He is already at that stage of recognition. However he can proceed to lose for under so lengthy earlier than the followers will begin to transfer on.
In the meantime, a win over Sheamus issues quite a bit to JD McDonagh, who had an unbelievable efficiency and appears stronger due to it. The significance of that win for McDonagh’s story is a part of the fantastic thing about skilled wrestling. Wins matter and losses do not matter all on the similar time.
Extra ‘Uncooked’ takeaways
• Might the Stephanie Vaquer and Nikki Bella partnership be attention-grabbing, even within the brief time period? The surging Girls’s World Champion got here to help the veteran, Bella, who has been backing Vaquer throughout her title run. It’s attention-grabbing that that is the place “La Primera” finds herself after the massive win at Crown Jewel. Will her alignment with Bella give her extra momentum or hinder it?
• I am rising uninterested in the Los Americanos schtick. Penta vs. Rusev was supposed to find out the No. 1 contender for the Intercontinental Championship, nevertheless it resulted in a no contest after El Americano Grande, Rayo Americano and Bravo Americano butted in to assault each challengers. The place is all of it main? If an extended sport is being performed, a couple of extra clues and extra intrigue could be appreciated.
• With that stated, I love {that a} triple-threat is deliberate for “Saturday Night time’s Most important Occasion” this weekend — significantly for Dominik Mysterio. I hope Mysterio finds one other artistic solution to sneak out of the match with Penta and Rusev along with his title intact. His Eddie Guerrero-inspired moments over the previous a number of months have been extremely enjoyable and flawlessly executed.
• The opening phase with CM Punk and Jey Uso wasn’t their best, nevertheless it actually did not should be. I do know they’ll have a great match at “Saturday Night time’s Most important Occasion.” Punk can hit individuals the place it hurts on the mic, however Uso got here out wanting a bit stronger, which is encouraging. I nonetheless suppose Punk wins the title on Saturday, and he would possibly maintain it till Seth Rollins returns from damage.
• WWE confirmed a well-produced video of Asuka’s decade of dominance in WWE, highlighting her 914-day undefeated streak. This comes after Asuka responded to Invoice Goldberg’s sharp feedback about her surpassing his undefeated streak.
