    Not exactly thrilled with a Kofi/Orton match, but I like the call back to their past issues.

    It should be pretty good, but Kofi should go over.

    Murmuring is that we're going to have Charlotte vs. Trish at Summerfestslam to go for the hometown Toronto pop, with Charlotte saying she was going to find someone better than Ember.

    The Bray Finn thing could very well go off the rails but for a start I liked the funhouse bit

    The Ziggler HBK thing was good too. Intense. True. Interesting to see them lean into the Saudi/embarrassing thing. But then you know Zigglers never going over Miz or anyone else so in the big picture it feels like a waste of time.

    The thing I worry about with this feud is that a Fiend-Demon match seems like a natural end point, and they've protected the Demon gimmick to the point that Balor will win and Bray will be buried yet again when the dust settles.

    Im optimistic Bray goes over to start and we dont see Demon/fiend until Mania. Maybe even Mania of 2021. Maybe there’s a long con where the fiend destroys regular Finn, and then Finn brings the demon but Bray shows up as Mr Rogers and gets squashed or something.

    When I saw that the first victim of the relaunched Bray was Balor, my first thought was that this is a swerve and they will either be a tag team or even the beginning of a stable.

    Word is they're giving Finn time off to recharge, so I don't see anything but Bray going over. Whether that involves the Demon being slayed, I don't know.

    A little bit of heartfelt gratitude coming through from the Fiend. I mean, he did get the rub from a WWE icon, using his signature move.

    Holy shit. That's not Braun Strowman catching Rey Mysterio. That's a 6-5, 249-pound guy he's catching in mid-flip.
