Top 5 WWE moments of the week (August 4-10th, 2019)

#4 Seth Rollins guarantees a SummerSlam win against Brock Lesnar

Seth Rollins has a bit of pain but he isn't giving up. And the crowd still doesn't really seem to like him right now.

It was a disturbing sight to see Seth Rollins getting beaten up by Brock Lesnar last Monday night and the crowd was clearly supporting Lesnar throughout the lengthy attack. It is pretty clear that the WWE has damaged Seth Rollins’ babyface character a lot if Brock Lesnar, the hated part-timer, is getting the audience’s support for Sunday's Universal Championship match.

This week Seth Rollins came out to take another long beating at the hands of Brock Lesnar. It could have elicited sympathy for Seth Rollins by putting him in the clear underdog role for the match. The biggest moment of the attack was the beaten Seth Rollins guaranteeing a win on Sunday. Based on the story we have seen so far, that would be a truly real surprise. Is WWE trying to sell us the story that a very injured Seth Rollins can defeat a healthy Brock Lesnar? Will it get Seth Rollins his support back from the WWE fan base? I guess we shall see on Sunday in Toronto.

#3 New Women’s Tag Team Champions Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross

It is a rare sighting of the WWE Women's Tag Team Titles. Hopefully, these champions can actually appear on the show from time to time.

This Monday ended the 120-day title reign of Billy Kay and Peyton Royce as WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions. It will surely go down in the history books as one the worst and most meaningless reigns in existence of WWE championships. It is another example of WWE being unwilling to properly book another tag division.

The match on Monday was a pretty solid match that eventually got the Pittsburgh crowd behind it. Seeing the IIconics eliminated first was certainly a big surprise. Sure, their reign involved them vanishing for months on end but that wasn’t really their fault. They deserved better.

The team of Asuka and Kairi Sane was clearly the crowd's favorite as the match went along but they were unable to pull it off. WWE decided to give it to one of their favorite women, Alexa Bliss. Hopefully, with Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross as the tag team champions, it will lead to more of a role for this belt going forward. I mean it can only be better from here, right?
