"So why did Sammy win it back in the first place?" The heel win solidified the heel turn and Scorpio winning it back as a face solidifies his turn. Very old school move. Quick title loss to get the belt back. I also think with the last win going over like a wet fart, this was a legit shot at getting Scorpio that moment

Sammy is nothing but a glorified Spot Monkey Extremely glorified, because damn those spots he’s monkeying around with are fun to watch.

Ok, I've been hard on Sammy before with the no selling, but tonight takes the cake. Dude got thrown into a barbed wire ladder and popped back up instantly. He's awful man. I generally cut Sammy a lot of slack, but even I was like “oh what the f***ing f***?!?!”

Took three years but sound like they've finally got Sky over with the fans. Good stuff. eh the match was really good but if he can keep the momentum. dude still can't cut a promo for the life of it. He hasn't cut a bad promo in months. Including tonight.

Sammy didn't even sell that, come on man To a certain extent I could buy it as pure adrenaline for as quickly as he was trying to bounce back up from it, but I also feel like it's the kind of punishment where it all kind of hits you after you actually stop whatever it is you're doing. Or it hits you the next day. I'd say next time we see Sammy he needs to look just shy of needing a full-body cast, but that might not take too much selling on his end after that match.

I know he's a heel now but you can't just turn "I won't sell shit" into a heel trait.

This is the guy that had primed to be a top player at the beginning of the promotion before Covid derailed him. He's finally clicking again as a face. I'm all for him getting that push

I haven't really had much of an issue myself, but that was just absolutely ridiculous on his part. Thats the kinda spot where the match is over after that, you don't just get up a minute later and attempt a springboard move.

Except maybe Luther.

also based on how Ego was acting a bit when Kaz came out... may see the Men of the Year explode soon

I think the hate for Scorpio even at his blandest was exaggerated, the dude has gotten fine crowd reactions, but he's gotten better I think tbh. If he can take that crowd reaction and run with it, it'll be all good.

"So why did Sammy win it back in the first place?" The heel win solidified the heel turn and Scorpio winning it back as a face solidifies his turn. Not to mention, getting some sympathy onto Sky losing the title so dirty so he could win it back to some response. It definitely had a reason. Yeah, this is a good example of how very few rules are set in stone. Every title change in this hot potato sequence had meaning and did something to make the story stronger. Sammy was a stronger champion for winning the belt back from Cody, which made Scorpio look better taking the belt off him while shoring up Scorpio's credibility, which itself made the quick change back more shocking and a more effective heel turn, which made this final change a strong coronation that solidifies Scorpio Sky.
