WWE Finally Got Unpredictable.

A week ago, it felt like the King and Queen of the Ring tournaments were starting to take shape.

Seth Rollins looked like a favorite.

Bron Breakker looked like a favorite.

The SummerSlam roadmap felt relatively clear.

Then WWE blew the whole thing up.

Rollins is out.

Breakker is out.

Becky Lynch is out.

Dominik Mysterio is still alive.

Je'Von Evans is still alive.

And somehow the biggest story coming out of RAW might be that nobody knows where these tournaments are headed anymore.

For the first time in a long time, WWE genuinely surprised us.

And honestly?

That's a breath of fresh air.
