So why did they book Oba to win the King of the Ring if it was going to go nowhere and he was just going to wrestle Brock again That's like booking someone to win the Royal Rumble and then they go "actually no I don't want a title shot at Wrestlemania I want to go one on one with the Undertaker"
>>20744256it gets worse;they booked Jey in a number one contenders match this week on Smackdown, even though he just lost the finals of the king of the ring tournament to Oba (who isn't even claiming his Summerslam title shot, the prize for winning the tournament)
They did the rumble shit with Cody lol pauletty can't help it
Brock squashes Sami's pity run so Oba then challenges Brock.
It's cringe that both the KOTR and OWEN are both for World Title shots now, just lazy booking by everyone
>>20744275Sami is facing Cody on Raw now Not going to happen
Paul always somehow puts himself in to a scenario where a guaranteed title shot puts him in a cornerThe likely reality is that the plan was for CM Punk to return to challenge Cody at Summer slam, but Punk wasn't ready or just didn't want to work the tournamentAnd for some reason, he couldn't just book Seff to win KotR. So he just had Oba win so he could say he won it, and then canceled the title shot.Same thing happened when Austin Theory had the Money in the Bank and Paul didn't know what to do with him, and when Cody won the Royal Rumble but WWE wanted the Rock in the main event.
>>20744256this webm is quaint and quietly charming
>>20744256damn it must suck to be an alligator
>>20744256Because Haitch is a bad booker. >>20744265This feels like they either want to get Cody booed or Jey cheered. Both poor options
Reminder that big Dave called all this back in April and you all said he was crazy
>>20744256>That's like booking someone to win the Royal Rumble and then they go "actually no I don't want a title shot at Wrestlemania I want to go one on one with the Undertaker"
>>20744265Nah, that's fine. In legitimate sport, guys who are at the top of the division still get opportunities after a loss. It's when they're on a skid when they start to lose those.
>>20744256He literally said that there will be other title opportunities, but he wants Lesnar now. Why did he win King of the Ring? Because he's the Ruler!
Oba is reddit
>>20744256He can wrestle Brock on one night and then for the title on another night. Summer Slam is two nights. There's only been one show since he one King of the Ring. You got to let the start play out before you jump to conclusions which I know is really difficult for some of you.
>>20746563>Nigerian immigrant (aka not American black)>is a shoot athlete (touches grass, doesn't refer to games as "sportsball)>NIL signee (didn't work the indies)>puts on an accent (racial caricature)>Christian (non-euphoric)>praises Elon musk (the devil)How is he reddit again?
>>20744276Tournaments are unfortunately so predictable that it wastes multiple weeks' worth of match slots so that we can just fast forward to the finals.
>>20746564As much as I agree with the sentiment, Seff is already challenging Roman at SS, and they're lining up Sami's next opponent as well.
>>20744308Based pattern-recognizer. I never put this together. Crazy how these things are literally story-crutches and Paul finds a way to fumble them.
