7 Ups And 7 Downs From Last Night's WWE Raw (Sept 14th)

3. More Drama

Remember when pro wrestling angles involved simpler feuds? This got a little more convoluted Monday when Dolph Ziggler sauntered out during a match between Rusev and Cesaro with a gift for Summer Rae. Naturally, this led to a distracted Bulgarian Brute, who then got tied up like a pretzel and pinned. And Summer Rae kept the gift €“ but hid it from Rusev €“ only to open it and become enamored by the jewelry inside. Oh, to be a 20-year-old woman€ or not. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ijRfiHV1U_k Rusev and Ziggler could put on impressive matches if allowed to develop naturally, but they instead continue to participate in a goofy feud involving their female managers. It€™s disappointing to see this feud continue to flounder. Hopefully, WWE can get away from the sideshow and focus on the main match in this feud rather than the €œtension.€
