1. And So It Ends

It’s hard to think of the Dexter Lumis/Miz angle as a long-term story, but consider that these shenanigans have been going on for more than three months.

That’s why the fact that it all came to a conclusion Monday with a Lumis/Miz match makes it all the worse. The two had an Anything Goes match that could most generously be described as methodical and pedestrian. Dexter did his “creepy” slither around the ring, which after about two more weeks is going to be played out, and Miz was… Miz.

In the end, Lumis picked up the win and signed his contract, which now allows him to appear on Raw without being chased off by security.

The irony here would be if Dexter suddenly disappears from WWE programming for six weeks because “creative doesn’t have anything” for him now that this story arc is completed.
