Wha...but...we're not talking about a normal slow burn, we're talking about launching a guy.

How is rocketed equated to lost in the shuffle? I'm pretty sure that being the new big badass on the street is the opposite of being lost in the shuffle.

If he beat Cena clean I would have said "What? why?" and then I would have hoped they threw out the 3 Stages of hell scenario and made it a Triple threat match where he goes toe to to with Cena and Ryback and comes really close to winning. But that would be stupid to make such a left turn right there. Why damage your Payback main event by making Cena lose to Axel? Why SHOULD Axel beat him cleanly, there is no reason to.

Well then, by all means, let's put Axel in the main event of two consecutive Raws and completely waste them by having them end with inaction. That makes a lot more sense than planning ahead and doing something surprising in the Anything Can Happen company.

Remember when Ryback was hot-shotted to the main event lost and kept losing against Punk because Punk had to hold the title until atleast the Rumble? While he was losing by dirty means it still tarnished his rep to the point where he loses his WM match and one could predict he is on his way down the card now.

Losing via underhanded tactics did not tarnish his rep, it made the fans crave his victory. And...how is a one-on-one event like a 3 stages of hell match with the WWE Champion considered "on his way down the card"? And putting that silliness aside, why would launching Axel have to be compared to Ryback, and not Punk or, dare I say it, JBL?
