Did I enjoy the fact that Erick Rowan snapped and showed just how unstoppable he can potentially be a singles performer? The answer is yes. What I did not like is the underwhelming reveal of weeks of build leading to him being the culprit in this whole fiasco.
WWE had scripted the best whodunit that they had done in ages, and last week, it even seemed that while Daniel Bryan had washed his hands clean off the affair, someone was pulling Rowan's strings, making him do everything he was doing. And after much hoopla, it was finally revealed that Rowan is the demented soul that carried everything out.
Honestly, this was the worst conclusion that they could have given us. I understand that it helps in building a match for Clash of Champions, but honestly, I expected more out of WWE here.
