The person I feel bad for the most in all of this is Summer. Rusev, Lana, and Ziggler are all big parts of the WWE product and will be okay, but Summer absolutely needed this angle to be relevant. Without her being with RuRu, she doesn't even get on Superstars and doesn't even get used to job to the "Divas Revolution" girls.

My big question about the whole storyline continuation from Raw today is what does Ziggler think about all of this? He was "dating" her in storyline and all of a sudden she's engaged to the man she supposedly hates and he doesn't give a damn? He's just busy fighting for the US Title and not showing up at all during anything to do with Rusev, Summer Rae? Have they just dropped his spot in the story? None of this makes any sense. They did a backstage interview with him where Ziggler just looks sort of baffled and is like "Well, good for her I guess, we had our fun" and he kind of blows it off.

Least they kinda kept it in character, with Ziggler being a man-whore.

Perfectly glad for the happy couple. But I have to ask-would it really have been that hard to maintain kayfabe? i'm aware that the entire IWC knew Rusev and Lana were set to tie the knot-but would it really have been that hard to just pretend it never happened and maintain the play acting? They haven't acknowledged Cena and Nikki Bella in over a year, so was it really that much to ask?

It looks odd that their relationship is wwe cannon due to total divas but neither Bryan or Cena (both moralizing faces) seem to care their ladies have been acting like tools for the past year.

They haven't acknowledged Cena and Nikki Bella in over a year, so was it really that much to ask? Cena and Nikki are not in romantic angles with other wrestlers. And when they were first revealed to be dating, Cena and AJ's relationship suddenly went from a mutual thing to her stalking him and him trying to get away from her, making an already stupid storyline absolutely nonsensical. Also, they do implicitly acknowledge Cena/Nikki every time someone takes a shot at the Bellas for sleeping their way to the top or whatever, most recently seen with the Paige stuff. It's stupid, but even Cena and Nikki aren't immune from it. I guess WWE values mainstream news coverage too much to contradict it with their storylines, ridiculous.

There's a WWE cannon? Can we fire the Creative team out of it? Is it big enough for Kane and Big Show to fit too?

Come on, you all know that actors who are in real life relationships are don't have on-screen romances. Oh wait, they do. Turns out people can separate fact and fiction. Who knew? This isn't doing much to disprove the "WWE treats it's audience like idiots" assertion.

I feel bad for her too as I feel she's done a good job and this angle was kind of a big break for her as she's done pretty much nothing since she split with Fandango, which was like a year and a half ago. I think she's a good heel valet but unfortunately I don't even think she has a spot doing that as there really isn't any other heel on the roster that she goes well with. I would turn Ziggler heel and put him and Summer together, but unfortunately I think they're contempt with keeping Ziggler face.

Sort of like how there was no mention of Putin after certain events. Yeah, the audience knows they are a real life couple-but half the point is to kind of suspend reality.
