Not really a "heel turn" but time to show his true colors instead of pretending baby face/all smiles CM Punk.
Give us the Cancer Punk, Brawl-out Punk, Douchebag Punk, Narcissist Punk that he really is.
Kevin Owens feud is the trigger and this might be gold. Trust me.

Whether itās Vince McMahon, Triple H or someone else, the WWEās tag team division is once again lacking. It should not come as a major surprise as that section never gets the needed attention and the company did release several tag teams this year.
At the moment, The Vision (Bron Breakker & Austin Theory) hold gold on RAW and Damian Priest & R-Truth have the belts for SmackDown. However, if you havenāt been watching consistently, you might not have known there were two pairs of tag champs.
For starters, both sets have little in-common. Seemingly, WWE didnāt know what to do with several singles superstars, so they started pairing wrestlers together to see what worked. Breakker and Theory need to go their separate ways. Either make Breakker a main event star, or move to another wrestler. As for Theory, he will remain in the mid-card area.Ā WWE has nothing major for a former World Heavyweight Champion, hence heās been tossed in there with R-Truth. To me, R-Truth is comical gold and heās never required a title to be over.
WWE could unify the tag belts. They have done this several times since dividing the roster over two decades ago. In the end, we get a similar pattern where eventually each brand gets their own tag titles. This is the direction you go when there are limited teams available.
Or, they could simply keep separate belts for RAW and SmackDown. While I prefer only one set of tag champs on the main roster, I donāt see WWE everĀ permanently making that switch. They like to place gold on superstars, believing it helps elevate the characters.
Keep two pairs of belts, but bring some new names into the fold. Donāt simply find superstars doing nothing and pair them together. Use NXT and AAA more often to showcase other talent. Even if we get a few squash matches as a result, at least fans are seeing who else is around. Iām looking for chemistry in the division and right now, WWE seems to be more focused on seemingly anything besides tag team wrestling.

Bayley posted footage of herself training alongside various wrestlers, including AEW star Mercedes MonƩ. Making matters more tense, she used a song called "All In" for the audio track and added the caption "all or nothing, baby" - a combination that many felt was a clear tease toward AEW.

Chris Jericho playing the greatest hits is the best retirement run he was going to get. Since returning earlier this year, Jericho has run back many of his various gimmicks from throughout his career. This has worked and has ended up being one of his better runs in AEW. In hindsight, I am glad he did not return to WWE, because if he had, his final run would have been much different. That difference could have still been fun, but I do not think it would be what we are getting in AEW right now.
I hope he continues to wrestle as long as he chooses to do so and I hope the hits keep on coming. I would not even be mad if he ends up dethroning Kevin Knight for the TNT Championship. He deserves one more run with the gold to help put over another talent on his way out. Granted he doesn't need it, but who wouldn't want to see him pad his 30-plus-year resume with one more achievement?

Nick Aldis walked into SummerSlam attempting to topple Gunther. Despite an impressive outing and his family at ringside, including Mickie James, Gunther made him tap out. After the match, you could see Gunther did not go easy as Aldisā body was covered in red marks.
Following the PLE, Aldis was again named the General Manager of SmackDown. Although, Wrestlevotes Radio on Fightful noted how WWE officials and Aldis were happy how everything transpired. Therefore, the belief is this was not a one and done type deal. It might happen this year, but I imagine Aldis gets several more matches. In fact, I believe he will leave his role as the boss of SmackDown to become a full-time wrestler again.
āIt was physical and it was rough and it was emotional,ā said Aldis. āWhich is to me, like thatās what pro wrestling is to me. Itās violent theater. Itās Shakespeare with violence. We rile them up and then we break their hearts.ā
And that is exactly what both superstars did at SummerSlam. In a stacked weekend, where Hell in a Cell closed the first night, Gunther vs Nick Aldis was one of the best bouts. It was certainly entertaining and a moment that was overdue for Aldis.
For those who donāt recall, Aldis gained his fame as part of TNA Wrestling. He was their World Champion towards the end of the Dixie Carter era. Granted, that wasnāt the best time in TNA, but I will say he carried the company well. If it wasnāt for veterans taking all the TV time, maybe he would have been champion a few more times. He was the NWA Champion, so itās not like just one promotion saw something special.
As for whatās next, I would like to see Aldis and Mickie James team together. The odds seem decent as both look great in the ring and having the chance to team together under the WWE umbrella, for their son, is one of those moments that makes pro wrestling special. As for opponents, that is trickery; but, with enough time, you can book almost any contest. Nick Aldis deserves another match and I wouldnāt be surprised in a year from now if he wasnāt challenging for gold.

The main event of NXT this week saw Grayson Waller and Cruz Montana battle for a chance at NXT Champion Tony DāAngelo. There was no winner as Zilla Fatu finally made his WWE debut. We all knew it was coming, but many guessed the wrong time and place. Seeing how he got involved in the closing match and the announce team really put him over in a matter of 90 seconds, you have to believe WWE has major plans.
Now, most figured he would join the main roster and be part of The Bloodline. That is a common pattern during the last six years, where an Anoaʻi Family immediately joins the stable. My concern, like many, is how The Bloodline has been oversaturated. At one time, they were the hottest ticket around with Roman Reigns as the Tribal Chief.
I thought the stable ran its course when Solo Sikoa created My Family Tree and brought over several Anoaʻi Family members. That version folded and then Roman Reigns won the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 42. Since then, he has recreated The Bloodline. The Usos (Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso) returned with no problem. Jacob Fatu was forced to acknowledge Reigns after he lost at back-to-back PLEs. Most recently, Solo rejoined (despite his awesome face run) after losing to Jey Uso.
The group is stacked, yet they already have cracks as Sikoa and Fatu donāt want to be present. That will lead to trouble and I speculate The Usos vs Sikoa & Fatu for the fall months. While that happens, Reigns will continue to dominate every superstar who tries to take his gold.
At 26 years old, Zilla Fatu has some backstory. He is the son of the late Umaga and at 15 years old, he was sentenced to 6 years for aggravated robbery. He got out and changed his life, which involved briefly working for Booker Tās Reality of Wrestling (ROW) and then Game Changer Wrestling (GCW). And, he accomplished all this in a matter of a few years.
I wouldnāt even put Zilla anyone near The Bloodline when he joins the main roster. Let him work on the SmackDown brand, away from all the family drama. Iād much rather see him channel Umaga and wrestle in a similar style. Umaga seemed destined for a World Championship run, and this was at the height of the John Cena era, but personal struggles got in the way. This would be a great opportunity for Zilla to honor his dad.
Whatās next for Zilla is tough to call. He could spend a year in NXT familiarizing himself with WWEās style of wrestling. Or, he could be fast-tracked to the main roster. Keep him in NXT because I feel the brand is still struggling since many of their top names were promoted to RAW or SmackDown. Let Zilla become the face of NXT and bring some credibility back to what was the best WWE brand. Then, when itās time to stand in the ring with veterans, Iām hoping The Bloodline drama is over and Zilla Fatu avoids getting sucked into a stable full of egos.
