Now that is a match that would actually get me interested in Summerslam far more than any Brock BS.

Heel Randy > always. even if he cruises he's so natural at it, its fine.

Also i'd be fine with Almas taking the title, its time i think, AJ's getting just a tad bit stale so him dropping the title now would do him some good also. Been a while since we had a legit heel champ and Almas opens up some interesting matchups (Styles rematch, face Rusev, Shinsuke, Joe etc).

But from all accounts it looks like Joe will be the match for summerslam which i will not complain about at all.

Rumor has it that Vince was very very impressed with Almas with his match against AJ and that he'll likely be getting a good push sometime soon. He also said that he likes how confident Vega is on the mic and likes the dynamic between the two. Very good news to hear that.

But his push will get botched though.
Kobe Bryant was asked who he feels is the toughest opponent to guard in the NBA. Instead of picking OKC's Kevin Durant, Bryant went with Portland’s Brandon Roy.

"Roy 365 days, seven days a week. Roy has no weaknesses in his game."

Almas is a "can't miss" talent, he doesn't take matches off and Vega is the perfect compliment. I'd be impressed if the WWE botches his push.

They'll probably split the two up eventually. Managers don't stay with wrestlers very long. Almas will then be in no man's land with the rest of the cant miss talent.

Lana still stays with Rusev despite also doubling as a full time wrestler.

I meant she and him were still together for quite a while even after she started wrestling.

Obviously not expecting Vega to be with Almas forever, but probably long enough to establish himself.

The Hell in a Cell PPV is coming up after SummerSlam, I'd love to see a Jeff Hardy/Randy Orton Hell in a Cell match

Kind of strange that they're going with 'Dream Match' as a selling point. To say this is a dream match, you have to acknowledge each wrestler's successes in others companies, but if you do that, don't you also have to acknowledge they've fought a lot already?

Don't be, we're at the point were we're counting what they get right rather than wrong (they've stuffed up about every recent callup i can think of).

Also surprisingly not THAT keen for Joe vs AJ, maybe because they have fought before (think they fought in the BFG series 5 years ago and then they had that epic 3 way with Daniels as well for the title).

I do hope Joe wins the title though.

If Joe wins the title, he'll be the first wrestler ever, to hold WWE, ROH, and TNA world titles, the top 3 promotions in the US.
