WWE Raw: 10 Things You May Have Missed (Sept 5)
6. 'New' Bo Dallas Is Old Bo Dallas
Over the past month or so, both Nia Jax and Braun Strowman have been running through numerous jobbers easily. It's been interesting to see enhancement talent used on Raw again, squash matches like these were absent for many years, but they've made quite the comeback recently.
Still, nobody would have suggested that Bo Dallas could be the next to benefit from such a match style. The Social Outcasts are now a thing of the past, and Dallas is back to his 'BO-Lieve' spiel. There's nothing immediately wrong with that, but it was confusing to hear WWE instruct announcers to act like the gimmick was a new one.
Winning over a random jobber in quick fashion, Bo then performed a victory lap around the ring. His new sign in tow, Dallas is playing the exact same character he was beforehand. In a sense, WWE have simply pushed the reset button on his main roster career, so it's bizarre that the guise is being presented as fresh.
In the case of Bo Dallas, the more things change the more they stay the same.
