- Paul Heyman-C.M. Punk show-closing match/angle: Good final scene to hype SummerSlam's co-main event. It works so much better having Michael Cole as the straight wrestling announcer in these moments rather than the goofball 90 percent of the time then switching to serious pitchman at the end.

- John Cena's latest Make-a-Wish reference in a TV Promo: I never like Cena introducing hospital visits to sick kids into storyline promos. It cheapens the gesture when he uses Make-a-Wish visits to boost the image of his character on air.

- Cena's Overall Promo Delivery: Cena's delivery of the line "You almost had me" felt like a "dry read through" earlier in the day. I didn't even know what he meant because the delivery was so half-hearted. Maybe the storyline with Daniel Bryan is so convoluted in this face vs. face match-up situation that he can't figure out where his character is here, trying to walk a line of appealing to his fans without stepping totally on Bryan's fans. This part just didn't work for me. I think they rattled off a lot of talking points, and every segment of fans of either Cena or Bryan may have heard what they needed to hear to get excited, but in the aggregate I think it was all over the place and not focused and, at times, not well delivered by Cena most of the time.

- I bet if you tied Daniel Bryan to a chair in front of a TV and forced him to watch the first four seasons of "Breaking Bad," then gave him a DVD set of season five, he'd buy a TV and DVD player the next day.

- A.J. Lee & Big E. Langston vs. Great Khali & Natalya mixed tag match: That entire segment would have been cut from a pre-taped show. What a complete total mess and waste of time.

- Christian vs. Alberto Del Rio backstage: That segment didn't do much to make me want to see the World Title match at Summerslam. The video was a nice way to remind viewers of Christian's legacy in WWE, but there wasn't a real emotional hook to get behind him. Del Rio was cocky, but we knew that. So it didn't add any new emotion to the mix.
