15 WWE SummerSlam 2018 Impulse Reactions

13. B-Team. F-Word

The B-Team's catchy f*cking entrance theme will be the latest f*cking thing that'll fool certain corners of the audience into thinking the current Raw Tag Team Champions aren't a total f*cking joke.

The upwardly-mobile failures won again in the pre-show main event (perhaps wrestling's most depressing top line), defeating The Revival after taking a kicking for virtually the entire duration of the plodding 6:15 match.

This was the very opposite of WWE getting something right. Dash and Dawson were booked to have their opponents fundamentally toppled until one mistake cost them everything. This didn't make them seem unlucky, merely stupid and inefficient. The same stupid and inefficient Bo Dallas and Curtis Axel looked until their slice of fortuitousness gifted them pyrrhic glory.

The contest didn't need a spewing 1997 Bret Hart post-match promo to label either time. Losers. All of them losers.
