Raw WWE RAW 18th August 2014 - LIVE Discussion: SummerSlam Fallout *Spoilers obviously*

[Dale]

The Beast is here!
Paul Heyman promised that Brock Lesnar would “feast” on John Cena’s WWE World Heavyweight Title at SummerSlam, and The Beast Incarnate gorged himself at night’s end. Now that the conqueror has vanquished this generation’s most indomitable Superstar, what’s next for Lesnar? Also, will Cena respond to his crushing defeat in The Biggest Fight of the Summer?

Et tu, Nikki?
The Bella Twins used to fool opponents with their strategic use of “Twin Magic,” but there was nothing magical about what transpired at SummerSlam during Brie Bella’s emotionally charged clash with Stephanie McMahon. Following weeks of Stephanie’s underhanded attacks and cruel mind games, it was Brie’s own flesh and blood that would ensure the “Total Divas” star’s defeat in Los Angeles with a surprise attack. How will Nikki explain her unfathomable actions toward her twin sister?

Buzzards circle Hollywood
Even though Chris Jericho had banished Erick Rowan & Luke Harper from ringside during his anticipated rematch against Bray Wyatt, legions of Jerichoholics witnessed Y2J fall victim to Sister Abigail’s kiss, spelling defeat for the charismatic Superstar in his most barbaric battle with The Eater of Worlds to date. Will Jericho attain retribution against the backwater preacher on Raw, or will “The Man of 1,000 Truths” seek out a new target tonight?

Rise of Roman’s empire
Does WWE have a new “apex predator”? After Roman Reigns’ incredible victory over Randy Orton at SummerSlam, it seems as though the powerhouse is destined for championship glory in the near future. However, it’s equally likely that The Viper has some unfinished business with Reigns. As Orton reels following his SummerSlam defeat, expect some serious backlash against Reigns or whoever else gets in his way.

Corporate espionage
Kane might have again traded his demonic mask for corporate garb, but the brute has lost none of his malice in the transition. At SummerSlam, Kane’s interference and the ensuing brawl prevented Dean Ambrose from getting even with Seth Rollins, allowing Mr. Money in the Bank to score a tainted victory over his former partner. Denied satisfaction in last night’s Lumberjack Match, the unstable Ambrose will be looking for payback, but who will he go after first, Kane or Rollins?

Really interested to see where they go from Cena after the RAPING he took last night.

Would love to see them have Cena start second guessing himself like he did after WM28. Leads to him losing matches and wondering if he's still the man.

Yeah, I liked how they started that, but then he just went and beat Brock and nothing really came of it. Could even just have him go on a major losing streak (just at like PPVs, he can still be lower card guys on TV), have him refocus and win the Rumble. A lot of people would complain, but I think that'd be some real solid booking.

Also, who the fuck can beat Brock now? You can't just have him lose after his last two matches. Cena is the only one that comes to mind and it'd have to be after the above scenario. They're really building Reigns, but I don't know if he'll be ready by next WrestleMania, but he might be. Either way Brock is untouchable for awhile.

I think you nailed it on the head....Brock is untouchable at the moment. My guess is Reigns will be the one who can challenge Brock. We can really see now the lack of top faces, not that it is a surprise, but its definitely a reality now.

Steph with this troll job

 

[SAIYANS]

Steph with this troll job

April fool day should be golden around that house

 

[Andrew]

She got me damn good because I wasn't watching the stream all I heard was the music lol

 

[Chris]

"Bring back bra and panties match" sign got airtime for a split second before the camera moved away

 

[Chris]

The heels really owned SummerSlam last night for the most part.

 

[Chris]

Nikki can't walk down the ramp in heels but that outfit

 

[Andrew]

I cannot wait until Cena has a meltdown knowing Nikki has heel-turned. They need to set it in reality.

 

[PHX]

Bellas getting mic time is always a bad idea
