Of course it wasn't fair. Of course it made no sense. Of course it won't be explained. It's an AJ storyline. She's CRAAAAAAZY. Which totally isn't a cop-out for lazy, incompetent writing that has no structure or purpose to it. Now AJ being named GM makes perfect sense.

I'm still saddened by the fact that Jericho was just hitting his stride when he had to leave again. PLEASE don't make him heel when he returns.

The feud was really stupidly written in the first place. In Jericho, you have a guy in 2001 who was known for always coming up short in the big match and couldn't pull it off (until No Mercy 2001). Now, Dolph Ziggler is in the same place where he always falls short of winning the title and has done so on numerous occasions. Instead of using the parallels between the two at this stage in their career, they just made it about how Jericho kept losing since he came back and got that final win. It was a simple to book feud that could have elevated Ziggler incredibly, but instead it was a piss poor booked feud with a really good match (Summerslam), and a match with an out of nowhere stipulation that resulted in a mess of a match.
Hell, the entire feud could have been saved if Ziggler and Jericho shook hands after the match and Ziggler left Jericho to get a standing ovation. Instead, we get that. I don't understand how you book a feud so badly at such a consistent rate, when it's so damn simple.

AJ as GM is so amazing...
That should automatically turn her heel.

What a waste. The Jercho band tour has had tickets sold for months, so obviously he is not wrestling then. They let him win on the PPV so they can sell the CD. Every other move was also telegraphed. Brock won't work regular so he is "leaving" for now. Unless Orton is now in a three-way with sheamus and the other guy, no point to this one either. Call Yo Mama loses but he wins. The Divas remain so what. Punk conveniently does not mention Lesnar in his fake rant about getting no respect because Lesnar is not going to show for awhile. Then Punk beats up the old punching bag, from behind no less.

I'm fine with it and I enjoyed the Jericho/Ziggler feud.

Shouldn't the match from last night be the match from Summerslam. Why have this match on the next RAW; they might as well have a commercial telling people not to buy their ppvs.

I hated how the whole thing turned out. Its not like its really put Ziggler over either, seeing as Jericho beat him up after the match. I was glad some of the crowd were booing him for that.
And the Summerslam match was WAY better. They didn't seem to click on RAW really.

I almost sort of wish Jericho had left after Summerslam, and the loss to him would be something that burned in the back of Ziggler's mind, brought up every so often (even after he won a world title), acting as a berserk button that could play into his character for while. If they wanted to give Ziggler a berserk button, they would've done it when he lost to Riley. Riley upset him this year, and around the same time last year, he lost to Ryder, which feels almost formulaic, traditional or habitual. An "it must be that time of the year again" loss to people perceived to be "weaker" than him would be more of a cause for him to Nerd Rage than losing to a six time World Champion.
