7 Ups And 6 Downs From Last Night's WWE Raw (June 1st)
Ups...
7. Big Show Versus Big Guy
This can be summed up thusly: At least Big Show isnt feuding with Roman Reigns. Show returned to WWE after several weeks off and immediately made an impact, knocking out the Miz before his Intercontinental Championship match against new champ Ryback. Show got right in Rybacks face and declared that he might consider himself the Big Guy, but Show was the giant around here. Sure, plenty of fans groaned at the sight and thought of Big Show competing for a singles title in 2015, but at least its something new. And if Ryback is able to hoist Show on his shoulders and hit Shellshock to defend the IC title, fans will react. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xvBK8KOewaw This is by no means a big positive development, but it scores point for being a little different and getting the Authority (Show still is with them, correct?) involved in the pursuit of the Intercontinental Championship.
