...SummerSlam was a good show but I didn't like the ending though.

From reading blogs, it sounds like the last three matches were really good, though the finishes weren't what I was hoping for.

Where can Punk/Lesnar/Heyman go from here?  Anyone else wonder if a 3-way with Cena, Orton, and Bryan is being planned?  I like HHH turning, though.


I think Cena is taking time off because of his elbow. so it's Orton vs Bryan at Night of Champions. HHH vs. The Mcmanhons?

Won't happen because of what happened at Summer Slam.  I best thing would be for a series of matches for Bryan to get another title shot leading to DB winning the Rumble and main eventing 'Mania.  Though DB has to be screwed out of his rematch.

I havent watched the show yet but will through....well in another way ;p

I have read the results.

Just to let u guys know, there were multiple plans for all the matches because of the recent leaks of results from a reddit user. So some of the things that happened tonight shouldnt of happened (maybe).

Anyways lets see....

Rob van Dam VS Dean Ambrose
-They could of done more with this match - why was this part of the kickoff and not part of the official broadcast? Anyways...no Shield defending tag team championships against the Usos or Big Show/Mark Henry was a bummer. But I guess they are keeping the titles a bit longer for the shield.

DQ Finish....ok - I'm guessing this feud is gonna continue which is fine - the United states championship needs more exposure.

Kane VS Bray Wyatt (Inferno Ring of Fire Match)

-Not sure why they called this a ring of fire match, sounds WAY too PG and Inferno isnt PG? lol

I'm glad Bray Wyatt won - wouldnt make sense for Kane to win since new meat needs more push.

Damien Sandow VS Cody Rhodes
-Notice the losses that Damien Sandow have gotten over the past few weeks and tonight? Why does WWE keep making their next big push a loser weeks before they win a title? lol

Anyways glad Cody Rhodes won  - need to push him! Sad to see where Diabiase is....which is nowhere lol.

Christian VS Alberto Del Rio
-Seriously who thought Christian was gonna win? Knowing about his past achievements with the WHC - I knew this was gonna be a letdown especially after all those promos of "One more time" - this was so predictable.

R.I.P. Christian's legacy l0l - WHC division is weak. Put Damien Sandow + Cody Rhodes in already.

Natalya vs Brie Bella
-Seriously, this match up is so random. Great to know Natalya winning but wow, they put this match in the card but no Shield or Big Show/Mark Henry, ok.

CM Punk VS Brock Lesnar
-Knew before hand this match was gonna be MOTY material. After reading the comment section and the results I have to say cant wait to see this match myself. Why isnt WWE pushing CM Punk again in main event status? Wish Brock lesnar would go full time but its all about da $$$.

Dolph Zigger+Kaitlyn VS Big E Langston+AJ Lee
-R.I.P. Dolph Ziggler's push. Going from WHC to mid card mixed tag match..ugh. Hopefully he doesnt fall off completely like Zack Ryder.

Daniel Bryan VS John Cena
-This match was so predictable. I knew Daniel Bryan would win and I knew Randy Orton was gonna cash in the MITB contract for the title. The fact that they made Orton show off the suitcase in the past few weeks in front of Bryan was just stupid. The Triple H heel turn was a surprise and good imo. Guess the McMahon storyline is over? Or are we going to see Vince becoming a face?

Please dont tell me this will lead to a Daniel Bryan VS Triple H Wrestlemania match ~___~.

 

I'll try to watch the matches tomorrow and rate it!

It was a very good card overall though.  Christian vs Del Rio was a fantastic match, same goes with DB vs Cena and CM Punk vs Lesnar.  I can't really decide which match was better.

I'll watch it in a bit and give my opinion/rate it :D

 

I agree it was a decent card (with the exception of the divas).

When Natalya came out my friend was like "I feel sorry for Natalya, she's an actual wrestler" and I'm like "I know, she wrestles better than 80% of the male roster"

I know Natalya is a actual wrestler but fighting someone who isnt is no different than watching a Chavo Guerrero VS Hornswoggle match.

Pretty much.  Kinda sad cause back in mid 2000 when Finlay was training the women, they had a lot more finess.  Now it's all a mess.  Only two women who know what they're doing (Natalya and Alicia Fox) don't get any air time or anything.  Then they invest more into their failed models (Eva, Kelly Kelly, etc).  Sad thing is that NXT has better women wrestlers and overall women's division; but as soon as they get called up they're gonna get slaughtered.



Two outstanding matches (Brock/Punk and Cena/Bryan), one pretty damn good match (Christian/Del Rio), a couple decent matches (RVD/Ambrose, Rhodes/Sandow), and the rest was pretty forgettable. that said, it was a good card overall.

The Inferno match was...well, it had flare (flair? heh), but the match itself was super boring and I honstly find the Wyatt/Kane angle to be pretty damn boring overall. I usually skip it.

The girl's match was a joke, the mixed tag match was boring as shit (would have been better Ziggler vs Big E, singles).

Yeah the inferno match was "meh", but the added fire and lighting made it seem better than it was.  They should have had Husky Harris/Wyatt get more offense in before Kane got the upper hand.  This just made it look like Wyatt's a pussy and needed his family to intervene, instead of, Wyatt was pretty pro; but Kane eventually got the better of him.  

The entire women's division is a joke.  Like I've said often, NXT has a better division and they're just rookies :/.

Paige and Emma should be up there already.  The tragedy, however, is that the WWE is so wrapped up in the Diva reality show that they care far more about putting models and actresses in front of the camera right now.  It's a complete shame and I will never understand it.

It's also a shame how Dolph's Ziggler's push has been so badly managed.  He was really over not long ago, now he's lower mid-card and being used to put Big E. and AJ over.

People were cheering HARD when he cashed in his MITB.  I didn't even know he lost his title until I started watching Raw again and found out Del Rio has the title.  What's even more laugh worth is that my friend told last night that Del Rio a heel.  I thought he was still a face.

Yeah he lost the title in June - they were selling the concussion injury as a reason why he lost the title.

Then in his rematch 2 weeks or so later he lost and that is how the AJ Lee rivalry began.

ADR is better as a heel but his face stint was so short it was forgettable.

Its too bad his sidekick (l0l) got beaten up by him after the bucket incident and probably will be fired or re-packaged into NXT.

Yeah, poor Ziggler he just can't catch a break.  I hope HHH weeds out all those dumb agents who hold people back like Ziggler.

Richardo broke the Wellness Policy, didn't he?  I think that's why they did it.  ADR bounces from face to heel on a weekly basis.
