With all of the BS out of the way, how was Summerslam? Almost 2 years ago, WWE produced one of the best Summerslams despite the sheer circumstances. Last year's? Not so much.
The *looks at the quarterly earnings* $90 million dollar question is, did this year's show deliver like Summerslam 2020 or was it a stinker like Omos' wrestling ability? It was somewhere in the middle like Dolph Ziggler's career but felt longer than an AEW PPV.
But, if I had to give it a thumbs up or down, it's an easy thumbs up.
Bianca Belair vs Becky Lynch For The RAW Women's Championship.
Those ladies delivered once again. The KOD on the barricade was *chef's kiss*. The match concluded with Belair walking out of Nashville still the women's champion but before the EST did that, she along with Becky Lynch, encounter the returning Bayley, Io Shirai (now Iyo Sky) and Dakota Kai.
A babyface turn for big-time Bex? Also, LETS FREAKING GO, BAYLEY!
Logan Paul vs The Miz.
A white ally vs a non-white ally? You know who I'm picking. All lame jokes aside, the match was decent. Gotta admit, that frog splash from Logan was pretty good.
It's sad seeing the only role that AJ Styles' played (on a show like Summerslam) was throwing out Ciampa but it is what it is, I guess.
The Miz took his own medicine due to the fact that Logan Paul defeated the former 2 time WWE champion with the skull-crushing finale.
Bobby Lashley vs Titan For The United States Championship.
Yes, I'm calling Theory Titan on the headlines because he looks like an attack on Titan character. Also, the match ended quicker than Butterbean's knockout over Bart Gunn. Lashley wins via the hurt lock.
Rey And Dominik Mysterio vs The Judgement Day In A No DQ Match.
Besides the opening and the closing matches, this one is my favourite despite the sad fact that Retribution had a better build as a stable than The Judgement Day.
Edge's impactful return is what led to a 619 from the Mysterios to win the match.
Edge went from dressing like a Fox News anchor to now a lead singer of a 20-year-old band that will always be better than anything Fozzy puts out.
Pat McAfee vs Baron Corbin.
Another decent match for what it was. During the bout, Corbin was messing with Michael Cole which honestly is better than a 70-something-year-old man yelling at Cole.
McAfee won the match with I'm assuming a sunset flip of sorts.
The Usos vs The Street Profits For The WWE Undisputed Tag Team Championship.
A match so mid (especially compared to their fantastic match at Money In The Bank), that even Jeff Jarrett couldn't save it.
Now, who's surprised that The Usos retained the red and blue tag belts?
Seth Rollins and Riddle brawled so hard, that AEW is blushing right now.
Liv Morgan vs Ronda Rousey For The Smackdown Women's Championship.
Nothing too noteworthy happened in the match itself but we all saw a side of Rousey that should've been showcased since her return earlier this year (aka a possible heel turn).
The match ended with Liv countering the arm bar into a pinfall victory but Ronda's shoulder wasn't all the way down in all 3 pinfalls.
Roman Reigns vs Brock Lesnar For The WWE Undisputed Universal Championship In A Last Man Standing Match.
After Drew McIntyre was done hyping up the crowd like he's Fatman Scoop or something, both Reigns and Lesnar probably had the best match since their first encounter at WrestleMania 31.
The right person in Roman Reigns won the match and all I can say is, that the claymore is coming (what a lame way to end a review).
So, to recap for all of you slow mofos.
Like: Roman Reigns vs Brock Lesnar, Bianca Belair vs Becky Lynch, BAYLEY, DAKOTA, IO, Logan Paul's frog splash, Michael Cole's 2003 self is coming back, heel Ronda.
Didn't like: that thing was long as f**k.
