We hand out our WWE Sixpack of weekly awards, good and bad, to Randy Orton, Bayley, Sasha and more.
The WWE’s New Era demands a new type of coverage, which means welcome to the inaugural edition of the WWE Sixpack. Each week, we’ll comb through Raw and SmackDown Live to hand out six distinctions.
We’ll award the Match of the Week and Promo of the Week, while crowning the Biggest Winner. We’ll also “award” the Biggest Loser and point out the Worst Nitpick. But we’ll end each week on the power of positivity, choosing our Favorite Moment.
This week’s action on both shows was notable for its lack of in-ring action, which we’ll get to. That left plenty of opportunities for personalities to shine through, with mic work taking precedence over ring work. That proved a boon for some and a burden for others.
Our recipients this week feature a nice blend of old hands and new faces, emblematic of the current generational bridges we’re seeing on both shows. Randy Orton didn’t do much, but still caught our attention. Bayley caught our eye, but maybe not for what you’d expect. And the Usos’ actions will probably cost them another kiddie-approved Slammy Award this year, but earned them big points with us.
Without further ado, let’s hand out this week’s hardware.
