7 Ups & 4 Downs From Last Night's WWE Backstage (Dec 10)
1. Showcase Of The Mortals
Go and read Andy Murray's quality news write-up of CM Punk's dark journey into a fantasy booking hole as he somehow managed to speed down the Road To WrestleMania with the Lana/Rusev/Bobby Lashley angle in tow.
The tl;dr of that if you haven't decided to treat yourself to the above link is as follows:
- Rusev and Lashley become mates that go on the p*ss together and bond over this troubled time in their lives
- They become a tag team and go up against two new men Lana has since hitched herself to and take them down at 'The Show Of Shows' in 2020 with the 'Ravishing Russian' in a shark cage
- Losers keep Lana
This was a hoot, and exactly in keeping with how WWE have asked fans to receive this particular story line. Punk earned his ice cream bars with this one.
