"I hope you're happy" (🧵): The end of Sami and Kevin's match is striking because of a very weird disjunction between Cole's statements and Kevin's actual reaction. "I hope you're happy!" Cole is yelling, while Kevin is very clearly not at all happy. Look at that posture, that blank stare. Not happy. - ThreadSky

If you've watched much of Kevin's heel work, you probably know: when Kevin is taking perverse pleasure in finishing off an opponent, it looks VERY different from this. This is not the face of a man feeling perversely gleeful gusto. He's not satisfied.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but this is a lot closer to what Kevin looks like when he's happy after demolishing someone, from 2009.

Or more recently, from 2017. He powerbombed Sami three times at Elimination Chamber, but clearly now that he has access to the package piledriver in 2025, an apron powerbomb just isn't enough to satisfy.

This is why it's inevitable he turn around and come back: something's missing, some closure is lacking. Clearly a closure Kevin is hoping he can get with a package piledriver on some cold hard concrete.

But no, even this catharsis is not available, as Randy Orton shows up for some piledriverus interruptus. There are too many angry ex-friends to deal with! Let him clear just *one* task off his to-do list, Randy!

Kevin's face here is just amazing, wavering between weariness, defiance, and outright tears. He's just gotten a win, but there's no sense of triumph yet. Everything is still unraveling for Kevin.

Even Kevin's entrance is dour. He lifts his shoulders a bit, but can't even bring himself to roar. It's such an intense sullenness, he really feels betrayed.

Yeah, only thing about the match I didn't enjoy
