Roman Reigns returns to address the Bloodline mutiny, while LA Knight peaks with a mid-card title. The Berlin main event and brand split confusion leave fans baffled. Finn Balor's sudden turn and Seth Rollins’ underwhelming feud reflect WWE's reliance on recycled storylines, ignored by fans in their echo chamber.

**Roman Reigns' Return**: Roman Reigns has come back to address the Bloodline mutiny. Why now? Clearly, nothing screams urgency like waiting until the last possible moment to show up and pretend to fix things. Does Cody Rhodes have a role here? Who knows? Maybe he’s just there to be the perpetual underdog with no clear direction.

**LA Knight’s Peak**: LA Knight, now the United States Champion, has apparently reached his career pinnacle. Let’s face it, this mid-card title is probably the best he's ever going to get. And sure, a rematch with Logan Paul in Berlin? Because nothing says thrilling wrestling action like a mid-card title match in a foreign city.

**Bash in Berlin Main Event**: The main event is set: Gunther vs. Randy Orton in a King of the Ring rematch. Exciting? Maybe if you’re stuck in a 2010s time loop.

**Brand Split Confusion**: Randy Orton and A Town Down Under appear on RAW, leaving us all wondering if the brand split is just a myth. Apparently, WWE has decided that continuity and coherent storytelling are optional.

**Finn Balor’s Turn**: Finn Balor turned on Damian Priest because Priest changed after winning the World Championship. He references a match from last year's SummerSlam and blames Priest for his loss. So, Finn stayed quiet for a year, then an extra four months, and finally decided now was the perfect time for a heel turn. Long-term booking or just a convenient plot twist? You decide. Meanwhile, Judgement Day’s relevance continues to plummet faster than Edge’s career revival attempts.

**Seth Rollins, Drew McIntyre, and CM Punk**: Seth Rollins steps into the Drew McIntyre and CM Punk feud, but instead of a triple threat, we get Seth vs. Big Bronson Reed. Fans are expected to cheer for Bronson to squash Seth, because apparently, WWE thinks they can recreate the Nakamura vs. Rollins magic (or lack thereof) from last year. Dr. Chris Featherstone points out the absurdity of it all on the Legion of Rock podcast.

**New Day’s Assist**: The New Day gets an assist from Odyssey Jones, who takes out an entire faction. Meanwhile, Lyra Valkyria is left hanging without backup from Kayden Carter and Katana Chance. Because when in doubt, just throw random wrestlers together and hope for the best.
