So let’s get into this Randy Orton and Alexa Bliss situation
Raw left us with such a big cliffhanger moment between Alexa Bliss and Randy Orton where
it appeared that he was going to drop the match
It was a big moment and everyone wanted see what was next after that
Randy Orton appeared and said that he showed mercy and compassion to Alexa Bliss and didn’t
drop the match.
He also noted that he hates himself for letting her go.
Randy Orton also pointed out that this could’ve been the effect that The Fiend had on him
that changed him
So that’s an interesting thing pointed out right there by Randy Orton’s character
Randy Orton believes that he couldn’t harm Alexa Bliss because of The Fiend’s effect
Randy Orton technically has a piece of
the Fiend within him so that’s why he let Alexa Bliss go
The Fiend absolutely loves Alexa Bliss and cares for her more than anything else, so
it looks like some of The Fiend’s feelings for Alexa leaked into Randy Orton and that’s
why he couldn’t harm Alexa Bliss
Randy Orton was feeling The fiend’s same emotions and feelings towards Alexa Bliss
and that’s why he couldn’t do it
I really like that explanation, you see that Randy Orton is heated with himself because
he wanted to drop the match, but The Fiend’s feelings and effect on him didn’t allow
him to do anything to Alexa Bliss
I love that, that’s some deep character related issues there which is great
What I didn’t love was Alexa Bliss’ absence and lack of any real follow up from her
Sure, Randy Orton’s interview explained what happened, but everyone was expecting
to see some sort of a follow up interaction between Alexa Bliss and Randy Orton
It’s not like we’re still wondering what happened to Alexa Bliss.
Orton said he didn’t do it, so why didn’t she pop up again and try something else?
That’s the part that was a bit of weird writing to me
Randy explained that he didn’t do it so where so Alexa Bliss and why didn’t we get
a follow up with her?
I loved the cliffhanger, but it’s clear that WWE had no idea where to go after that
big moment, so they instantly lost all that momentum from that cliffhanger moment and
wasted it
Reports did say that Randy Orton was originally going to close out raw again, but that was
switched to Goldberg
Randy Orton also declared for the Royal Rumble on Raw, so unless that’s just bait, his
match with The Fiend at Royal Rumble could also be risk if that’s true
Maybe that does set up a Royal Rumble return for The Fiend and he goes onto to face Goldberg
at Wrestlemania for his revenge?
We don’t know, we’ll have to see
————————-
Speaking of Goldberg, let’s get into everyone’s biggest fear coming true and that’s Goldberg’s
WWE return
If you’ve been paying attention to Goldberg’s schedule over the past few years then you
already know the pattern
Goldberg returns to WWE at the start of every year and he wrestles two matches
That’s how it been for the last few years and there’s also another pattern about Goldberg’s
return
That’s the fact that he always beats the young current champion, takes the title to
Wrestlemania, and drops the title at Wrestlemania
That’s the Goldberg yearly repetitive cycle that never ends
He defeated the Kevin Owens and took the Universal Championship away from him
He defeated The Fiend for the Universal Title and handed him his first loss in one of the
most embarrassing WWE outcomes and poorest creative decisions WWE has ever made
All this mystic about The Fiend’s character, his strength, his weaknesses, and more...only
for him to suffer his first loss to a 53 year old Goldberg
That was the lowest point for WWE, it doesn’t get much worse than WWE sacrificing their
new biggest star to Goldberg
Everyone thought that WWE learned their lesson after that horrific matchup and outcome, but
here we are a year later talking about the same situation
Goldberg has returned, declared himself number one contender for the WWE title, and will
face Drew McIntyre for the WWE title at the Royal Rumble
I have respect for Goldberg as a person and the great career he’s had, but I think everyone
has had enough of his character and the same repetitive story arc he goes through every
year
Especially the fact of Goldberg skipping the line and declaring himself as number one contender
for the world titles
Is there not any formation or structure in WWE?
Don’t you have to grind and work your way into the WWE title picture?
You have guys working and grinding all year long that can’t even sniff the WWE title
scene, but Goldberg can show up once a year and instantly become WWE title contender?
This is the the part where logic just gets thrown out of the equation for WWE.
I think it would be fine if Goldberg’s matches was similar to his match with Dolph Ziggler
from a few years ago at Summerslam
Just a fun exhibition match with nothing on the line.
But this constant reoccurring theme of him returning right into the world title scene
and beating the young superstars has to end
I would hope that WWE learned their lesson and has Drew McIntyre beat Goldberg, but honestly,
I would expect Goldberg to defeat Drew McIntyre for the title just knowing how WWE is
And if history reports itself again, Goldberg’s Wrestlemania opponent will be the one that
defeats him and takes the title off of him
It seems like Goldberg is actually heel now which is at least a character improvement
because he should be a heel
You have a 54 year old Goldberg popping up at the start of every year, skipping the line,
winning the WWE title by beating current champions in 30 second matches, and defending the title
at Wrestlemania every year...
His character should be a heel because none of the fans appreciate that
Some people may be there thinking “don’t worry, they won’t have Drew McIntyre lose
to Goldberg” but we’ve seen this story play out too many times before
Everyone figured the same thing with The Fiend.
We thought they were only using Goldberg in a match with The Fiend to elevate the fiend’s
character and add another big name to his victim list...and look how that turned out,
that match was to elevate Goldberg
So I’m absolutely terrified for Drew McIntyre’s title reign and I honestly expect it to end
at the hands of Goldberg
Why does WWE keep doing this same mistake year after year? who knows, maybe they just
figured Goldberg is a bigger draw for Wrestlemania and that’s what they have him walk into
Wrestlemania as champion every year
But we know for sure Goldberg is signed for 2 matches this year as always
So he wins the title at Royal Rumble and maybe builds towards a WWE title match at Wrestlemania
just like last year
I wanna be wrong, I want Drew McIntyre to overcome this Goldberg curse and burden, but
I have serious doubts
Judging by recent history, if I see Goldberg in a match against a young promising defending
champion, I’m taking Goldberg to win that match each and ever time because that’s
just how WWE uses him nowadays
His only pops up to stop the momentum of a current WWE Superstar
I don’t think I’ll ever understand the purpose of Goldberg defeating The Fiend and
if he does it again and pins Drew McIntyre like I expect him to do, I’ll never understand
that either
But that’s just WWE it seems like, the older generation of wrestlers still seems more important
and bigger draws to them then their current generation of superstars and that’s beyond
sad
Sure, Goldberg is still a big name on paper, but you can’t expect much from his matches
His matches go one of two ways.
He either dominates his opponent in a 2 to 3 minute match and wins...
Or gets dominated himself in a 2 to 3 minute match and loses
That’s it, that’s all you gonna get from Goldberg, one of those two options
So I’m hoping Drew McIntyre survives this horrific matchup.
Imagine seeing the year Drew McIntyre has had only for the end of his reign to be Goldberg
mopping the floor with in a 30 second match
Let’s hope it doesn’t happen, but that’s all we can do for now, all we can do is hope,
but it’s looking like we’ll have a new WWE Champion in a few weeks and fans won’t
be happy about this one at all
I wanna have him hope for Drew McIntyre to survive this match, but WWE’s tendencies
and history tells us that he won’t survive this Goldberg curse
But what are your thoughts on the follow up to the Alexa Bliss and Randy Orton segment
and Goldberg’s WWE return?
