Still feels unreal

Meltzer confirmed that Bray Wyatt will be in AEW

I’m so excited for SummerSlam. I bought 50 wings. :D

I think what’s gonna happen between Lashley and Goldberg is that Big E is gonna cash in and turn it into a triple threat match. That way, Big E can pin Lashley and get revenge for Kofi and Goldberg gets protected and doesn’t have to be pinned in yet another match.

The match I’m most excited for is Seth Rollins Vs Edge

There’s reports going around that Sasha Banks did not show up for SummerSlam

If WWE knew that Sasha wasn’t there, then why the fuck were they still promoting the match during the preshow? That’s such bullshit.

“Eva Marie is worse than an airport tuna sandwich”

Sheamus and Damian Priest had a very kickass match

Happy to see Becky Lynch back

Man, they did Bianca fucking dirty

I am 100% convinced the sole reason they had Becky Lynch beat Bianca is because Vince thought that it would make Lynch’s return better than CM Punk and his return.

I’ve gotta say, SummerSlam has been pretty meh so far. It especially hurts that SummerSlam has been meh so far given that AEW is so on fire at the moment.

No surprise, Edge and Seth Rollins had the match of the night

So far, seems I made the right call on skippin summerslam

Eh, it’s been alright. I highly recommend checking out Edge Vs Seth. That was a fantastic match.

I really hope the Lashley Goldberg feud doesn’t continue. Hopefully after tonight with the cheering for Lashley, they wake up and change directions.

I never thought I’d say this, but I’m excited that Brock Lesnar is back

Thanks a lot WWE, you made me miss the first half of a new episode of Fena Pirate Princess!

At least AEW cares about Toonami, unlike you WWE. (See AEW Revolution’ Jericho vs. Moxley was going to make me miss MHA since the match has a full hour time limit, but it ended with almost 30 minutes to spare)

Overall, SummerSlam this year was a mixed bag. There was some baffling booking decisions, like Becky squashing Bianca and the Goldberg/Lashley feud continuing, but there was also a ton of good stuff. Damian/Sheamus, Edge/Rollins, and Roman/Cena were all really good matches, and I quite like the SmackDown tag and the women’s triple threat match. Plus, seeing Becky and Brock return were great moments.
 
But again, compare Becky’s return to CM Punk’s return. It’s like creative took one look at that and said “Why don’t we do that, but horribly fuck it up?” I also felt like a ton of matches were complete throwaway. Did we really need Drew Vs Jinder or Alexa Vs Eva if both were gonna be less than 5 minutes?
 
Overall, this felt like a step down from WrestleMania this year. Hell, it feels like a step down from SummerSlam last year, and that show had no fans. That’s pretty sad. But I still can’t give the show a thumbs down because both Rollins Vs Edge and Roman Vs Cena delivered, and those were two of the three matches the card was built around. Plus, even though the other major match, Goldberg Vs Lashley, wasn’t that great, it wasn’t as bad as I thought it was gonna be.
 
I’d give it a C-. Probably a 5.5 out of 10.
