Posted July 30, 20223 yr comment_5987092 This SummerSlam card might legitimately be the worst card on paper I've ever seen in WWE. I will say though, two things: 1. when the card looks weak on paper, the show usually over performs & 2. there might be a couple of cool surprises tonight. Hoping for Bayley to return & we find out whomever that secret person is. Which all indications are it's just Edge again but at least we'll get confirmation. The card: Logan Paul vs. The Miz Liv Morgan (c) vs. Ronda Rousey Bobby Lashley (c) vs. Theory Pat McAfee vs. Happy Corbin The Mysterios (Dominik Mysterio and Rey Mysterio) vs. The Judgment Day (Damian Priest and Finn Bálor) (with Rhea Ripley) The Usos (Jey Uso and Jimmy Uso) (c) vs. The Street Profits (Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford) (Jeff Jarrett special guest referee) Bianca Belair (c) vs. Becky Lynch Roman Reigns (c) (with Paul Heyman) vs. Brock Lesnar - Last Man Standing match
July 31, 20223 yr Author comment_5987096 Bianca Vs. Becky to start. It's been OK but a bit sloppy... but the Kevin Dunn camera cuts are as bad as ever. The sooner someone fires that worthless fuck, the better.
July 31, 20223 yr comment_5987097 The SummerSlam set and Becky's costume are both straight fire. I wish AEW would spruce up its visuals a little - at least for PPVs, but even Rampage could stand to look less like the redressed Dynamite set it is.

July 31, 20223 yr comment_5987099 I'm pretty confident that ugly ass Glam Slam towards the start of the match will be revealed to have a torn labrum or rotator cuff tomorrow.
July 31, 20223 yr comment_5987101 Bayley back and looking fine. Edit: If this is Bayley's faction I'm all in.
July 31, 20223 yr Author comment_5987102 Io Shirai looks amazing. Hell, they all look amazing. That was a cool surprise.
July 31, 20223 yr comment_5987106 I'm glad Becky is going back face. Bring back " The Man", this heel Becky has run its course. Maryse with the big balls rules.

July 31, 20223 yr Author comment_5987108 Logan Paul's athleticism isn't surprising to me but him taking to wrestling as quickly as he has sure is.

If he's going to be full time and learns all the little things on the job, he's going to be pretty great someday.
July 31, 20223 yr comment_5987110 Guess what dudes, for some reason they are showing Summerslam live on TV here for ZERO DIMES, and I'm just sitting here with a baby so why the fuck not. Becky vs. Bianca ruled, I liked it a lot. I take it down a star because they opened with a collar and elbow and didn't do a big nearfall to play off the 30 sec deal from last year. But I liked the aggression and the escalation. Bianca is something else. Countering a rana into a powerbomb is one thing, but doing the deadlift counter after the guy has already flipped down and crossed their ankles, damn. Loved the final few minutes, it escalated really well and finished on the perfect note. BAYLEY! DAKOTA! IO SHIRAI! Holy shit, Papa Hunter is going to get another fruit basket! That instantly makes the women's scene a thousand times more interesting. I can't believe they convinced Io to stay. They all must really love Hunter. Bringing Becky back to face seems like the right move too.

It makes sense, she didn't fit in the new direction of NXT 2.0 and Vince didn't see her as main roster material. That obstacle is gone and the guy who was behind her biggest push is in charge of creative.

Max Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Priiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii looks absolutely miserable and not into the gimmick at all. So I can kind of see Vince's point - assuming any of that nonsense was true in the first place (which I seriously doubt).

July 31, 20223 yr comment_5987119 I liked Lashley/ Theory a bunch. But now I'm thinking that means he cashes in and wins the belts and no one wants that. I mean, I'll watch to see how it probably fail, but... Or, do they have him fail the cash in and the Theory push slows down a little?

His push never made much sense to me. There's a lot better options, imo. I can't take Judgment seriously. Too many spooky things in wrestling nowadays. Just comes off as cornball to me. Like they're Cenobites or something. I feel the same way about the House of Black. Think that stable gimmick hurts Brody more than helps him. EDIT: Hey, who is that ref? She's new to me!
July 31, 20223 yr comment_5987121 Anyone else catch Dom taking a second to look at the crowd and take it all in? It was awesome. Makes me like him even more. I've been a Dom fan since the house show where I saw him just channel Ricky Morton as the Bloodline beat him up for what felt like 10 straight minutes. The crowd totally fell in love with him and the hot tag blew the roof off.
