>I figured they'd at least wait till summerslam

Wwe has to be getting at least a little antsy. House show biz is allegedly down on the Reigns/A group. They absolutely hear those hard ass boos he's getting even though they've no-sold them. They can't ignore folks not being at the shows when he's on top. Rasslin promoters assume a popular top guy can cover for anything.

AJ Styles is meanwhile the shit everywhere he goes, so that has worked out far better than they probably thought (and he's a damn 'automatic epic match' machine). And that's with them basically botching the club stuff until recently. So they have some clue that they are off-course on some stuff.

Aka they don't think they can hold onto shit right now. They are going into 'we gotta get people on this' mode before the split and before football comes back on them. So they have to much work to do to be taking the summer off and laying on obvious shit like that triple threat for 8 more weeks. That or we're getting a bs finish.

They also have to be assuming that beef con carne wins at 200 and comes back for summerfest a made man....like he's not already the number 1 thing on their shows.

I really like that they are taking advantage of the network as it relates to show length. They need to break tropes and go short/long/whatever time the card needs. They have to see the power of nxt's 2-hour show and think about doing that at a ppv one of these times. They'll probably come up with a 'this Tuesday in Texas' type of show to test it out so that they dont hear the crying about making a 'main ppv' short. Folks will act like 10 bucks is some crazy amount of money for what the wwe network gives. They can't have that!
