So, none of us doubt that Sami Zayn will make it through ten minutes with Braun Strowman, right? There’s literally no point to the match and this whole weird thing with Foley otherwise. However, considering that Sheamus got pinned in the Triple Threat match on Monday, and the team has lost multiple title matches in the weeks before Roadblock, a more casual fan might actually question why they’re getting another shot. In this case, we know why Cesaro and Sheamus are getting another chance on Sunday, it’s because WWE likely has decided to finally have the payoff (and to no one’s surprise, we’d bet they lose the titles to Gallows and Anderson before long). Similarly, The Club have been calling themselves “the most dominant tag team in WWE” for months, but haven’t been able to prove it, because they’ve lost every single title match they’ve been in.

The whole point of forcing Cesaro and Sheamus to team up together is so they can figure out how to work together and eventually win the Tag Team Titles, but that should have happened long before now. Cesaro and Sheamus, along with Gallows and Anderson, are huge examples of how WWE zeroed in on New Day breaking that record and basically put the entire tag team division into stasis until it happened, delaying angles that should have paid off long ago in the process. In fact, we wouldn’t be horribly shocked if it ended this Sunday, as the “odd couple” tag team of Cesaro and Sheamus finally get the expected climax to their feud which started all the way back in the summer. Well, now that New Day have broken the record, there’s pretty much a short clock on their title reign continuing much longer. We’re not sure what the remedy could be in 2017, but if we could suggest not repeatedly sticking him feuds revolving around other people trying to seduce his wife, that would be a start. Even if you discount the rest of the year, which featured him getting repeatedly mauled by Roman Reigns and stuck in a dead-end League of Nations stable, that’s at best a lateral move from the previous year.
Oh, and he’s probably going to lose the match. And now, here we are at the end of the year, watching Rusev relegated to the pre-show, wrestling one-half of a tag team, over the fact that the other half of that tag team really wanted to have sex with his wife. The odds were in favor of it, at least, given that it would have been hard for things to go worse. But of all the single-brand PPVs since the brand split, this has the dubious honor of being the one that seems to have the least amount of effort behind it.Īfter a dreadful 2015 where he got repeatedly mauled by John Cena, then stuck in a never-ending feud with Dolph Ziggler over the affections of both Lana and Summer Rae, which was then scuttled when his real-life engagement went public, we hoped that 2016 would be far kinder to Rusev.

Perhaps the worst offence, although it’s not entirely their fault how the days fell, was that New Day’s booking was so focused on them breaking the record for longest-reigning tag team, that they put all the work into the night they guaranteed that they would set the record, and forgot to actually have a feud set up for the PPV happening a week later! As a result, WWE didn’t even announce a Tag Team Title match until a couple days after Raw, meaning after the final show went off the air, we were looking at a PPV with five whole matches booked! On the bright side, two of those matches are guaranteed to eat up a total of forty minutes plus entrances, so it’s got that going for it, at least. Fortunately, someone at WWE finally realized this, and now we’ve got six. Headed into the final Raw before Roadblock, there were a grand total of three matches booked for this Pay Per View. But, as with most WWE PPV’s, there’s still some stuff to like, and we’re going to dive in and give you some thoughts on what Roadblock has to offer! Did They Even Remember This PPV Was Happening?
In case the holiday season had caused it to slip your mind, there’s another WWE Pay Per View this Sunday! This time, it’s the Raw brand’s December offering, the final PPV of 2016, and the second Roadblock event of the year, a show that appears to have taken roughly thirty seconds worth of thought to set up, and has the unfortunate timing of occurring right as the holiday fervor reaches its peak.
