"Winner Takes All."

Holy sh*t, WWE is unifying the WWE Heavyweight and Universal Championships on the RAW After WrestleMania! That is massive. Wasteful, but massive. Kofi Kingston challenged Seth Rollins in the opening segment, and it was quite the mission statement on WWE's part, and f*ck this pretence, because WWE f*cked it almost as quickly.

None of this happened, obviously, because The Bar quickly interfered, resulting in an impromptu tag team match, playa. Everybody got played on the worst possible night to play with the audience. The WrestleMania Week hangover set in before it ended. This farce set the tone for WWE's dismal, unfulfilling post-WrestleMania season. The fandom learned here that they weren't going to get what they wanted.

You want a fighting Universal Champion, a full-time super-worker to replace a part-time, formulaic mercenary?

Tough t*tties, Baron Corbin is his challenger.

You want new, exciting, fresh NXT call-ups?

Tough t*tties, here's Shane McMahon.

You want Asuka to remind Becky Lynch that she holds a victory over The Man?

Tough t*tties, here's Lacey Evayyyyns, and here are the Kabuki Experience...for a week or two. Paige not here!

You want wrestling?

Tough t*tties, here's an hour of no wrestling.
