He thought Seth Rollins and Drew McIntyre had a “ballbuster” on Monday Night RAW this past week. He thought those two had an outstanding wrestling match, and he notes that it’s only a matter of time before McIntyre becomes WWE Champion or Universal Champion. He adds that McIntyre as Champion makes too much sense as he’d be a great performer to build a brand around.

He also liked the pull-apart between Roman Reigns and Bobby Lashley. He thought that was done very well, but he’s still unsure how those two men’s styles will mesh in the ring on Sunday night. He enjoyed the A.J. Styles/Nakamura match on Smackdown, but it seemed like there were too many interruptions during the bout. Ross notes that maybe the match was separated by multiple commercial breaks which always negatively affects a match.

Ross notes that Rusev has a chance to spring up the depth chart with a win over Styles on Sunday night. He points out that Rusev makes fans laugh, so he has no idea why WWE considers him a heel. Ross doesn’t think heels should make fans laugh.
