Loser: Lars Sullivan

This Lars Sullivan thing just isn't working out.

Never particularly popular in NXT, he finally made his main roster debut after WrestleMania, and has just been attacking lower card talent ever since. It's the same generic monster act we've seen countless times, but nobody seems to care. It was dead silence at Money in the Bank and again on Raw last night.

Perhaps it's his height. Sullivan looked imposing in NXT, but on a show with guys like Strowman, Lesnar, McIntyre, Lashley, and Corbin around, he looks positively tiny.

This was time that could have been better spent.


Loser: Ricochet

This was an incredible match and easily one of the highlights of the night, but it's alarming at just how quickly Ricochet has been normalized. Sure, he sold his injuries from Money in the Bank, which protected him somewhat and made his loss more believable, but he's firmly on the wheel to nowhere right now.

At some point, you need to invest in someone, and Ricochet has more upsides than Cesaro at this point. Yet, the company doesn't truly get behind anyone, which is why it's in the mess it is.
