It's hard to look beyond the same fate for The New Day, for a second straight PPV, as WWE keeps their eventual ascension on hold for SummerSlam. There's no stipulation altering this Backlash rematch, so logically, why wouldn't The Usos just turn tail and bail once more? In fact, why should they even bother showing up?

That's really the problem with these thoughtless rehashes; there's no rhyme or reason to them, mere shortcuts to help ease the burden of producing so much content. Shouldn't The New Day implore Shane McMahon to change the rules so the titles can be relinquished by count-out? Or are the trio simply relying on the "power of positivity" to pull them through? Blind optimism is willful ignorance.

The child who touches the fire learns a valuable lesson. The New Day have yet to grasp the concept of a burn. They'll win - but won't take home the titles.

Benjamin was born in 1987, and is still not dead. He variously enjoys classical music, old-school adventure games (they're not dead), and walks on the beach (albeit short - asthma, you know). He's currently trying to compile a comprehensive history of video game music, yet denies accusations that he purposefully targets niche audiences. He's often wrong about these things.
