Inferno Prince
Dark Match Winner
So last night we see the Wyatt family get interrupted by The Social Outcasts. Contrary to what was written in the RAW results page, it wasn't as simple as Braun destroying everyone followed by Ryback saving them. Let's give it a mini breakdown.
The Outcasts come out and demand a fight, these four guys who look like ants compared to the Wyatts. Rose gets a shot or two on Braun before getting knocked aside and Bo Dallas actually TAGS HIMSELF IN. Bo gets a few blows in before he too is knocked away and Curtis Axel TAGS HIMSELF IN. Axel actually nearly brings the big man down before getting floored by a shoulder block, followed by Bray tagging in and we saw the rest.
Ryback was getting mauled until the Outcasts actually came in and MADE THE SAVE. Sure, they were all knocked aside but it gave Ryback the opening to eject the Family from the ring, and the Outcasts stand tall along with Ryback.
So in two weeks we've seen Heath Slater grab a pinfall win over Dolph Ziggler, and a four on four skirnish with the Wyatts in which they weren't squashed. Yeah, the promos were meh, but so far in two weeks we've seen these four previously unseen guys, two of whom were already labeled, justifiably, as NXT call-up busts, actually get some mic time and be presented as somewhat capable competitors instead of just being destroyed as we've been used to seeing.
My question, which I'm probably asking too early but am still eager to hear an answer from you lot, is.. Is this something? By something of course I mean, are these guys actually being given a chance to have a long term spot? Could we even see a tag team title match for a pair of them sometime in the future? Slater has always been kinda over in the Zack Ryder sense, he was buried so hard that the fans care more for him than some "important" stars (see Del Rio, Alberto and Mus, Shea.)
I'd love to see these four men be given a chance to get the ball rolling with this. WWE has been stable happy as of late but at least they're trying to get multiple people over a little bit. Are they actually trying to get these four men over while they still have a prayer? Or, are we looking at 3MB version 2 by Fastlane?
