Bray was the real highlight.

Loser: Roman Reigns

The "wild card" is still rearing its ugly head, though it thankfully seemed kept to a minimum last night. Still, it's hard to know what Roman Reigns is doing these days. After inexplicably and inexcusably failing to put away Shane McMahon in Saudi Arabia in June, he's just spinning his wheels.

He might enter a rivalry with Samoa Joe heading into SummerSlam, but it would be one of the least important matches on the card.

It's safe to say that WWE has squandered their golden opportunity to make the most of a bad situation. When Roman Reigns returned in February, the company finally had a way to make him into the beloved big deal they always wanted him to be and they dropped the ball.


Loser: Seth Rollins

Let me ask - are you really excited about Seth Rollins' upcoming match with Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam? Answer honestly.

A year ago, this may have been the hottest match on the card, a true highlight of 2018. Now, it feels pedestrian and rote. We've seen it already and we've seen this story a million times before. People say they're going to beat Brock Lesnar. Brock Lesnar wins and disappears for months. Repeat.

This was the problem with putting the title back on Lesnar. This same old song and dance has been by far WWE's biggest mistake of the decade.
