The desperation can be felt from here.

Loser: Sami Zayn

Sami Zayn's shtick is already getting old. He needs to do something other than run down the fans every week. Well, that happened, but it came in the form of Braun Strowman throwing him away into a dumpster. It was a good metaphor for the show as a whole.

Sami Zayn is a good talker, but there's truly nothing unique about what he's been doing. Already, this opening of a potential feud between him and Braun Strowman resembles the poor feud between the Monster Among Men and Kevin Owens a year ago. Let's hope it doesn't take that turn.


Winner: Ricochet

Ricochet got his win back over Robert Roode, but aside from the uninspiring 50/50 formula, the match made little sense. If Roode was going to challenge Ricochet for his spot in the Money in the Bank Ladder match, why not just do a qualifying match last week instead of arbitrarily announcing his presence?

Some qualifying matches would have made for a much better show than the one we were presented with last week, let alone this week.

Still, at least Ricochet is still being somewhat protected.

What makes Sting special? His first AEW opponent opens up RIGHT HERE.
