Hello everyone! and welcome to the Rate SummerSlam and SummerSlam Recap for August 11th 2019, we got a huge show tonight and a huge recap, so as always friends rate in the poll above. Despite the fact the poll was technically a tie as someone who was on board with the 1 to 5 system didnt vote (looking at you redboy lol) we will go ahead and just do the normal one, but perhaps in the future we can try the 1 to 5 system.

So as always rate in the poll above give your thoughts below, and if ya missed the show or just wanna read it anyway, you can check out the recap below.

Enjoy!

Becky Lynch VS Natalya; Submission Match - Raw Womens Championship

We kick off the show tonight with Pyro, yeah you heard me right, pyro, and we kick off with a submission match between Becky and Natalya. Becky comes out first despite being champion. We are live in Toranto Canada and yet Beckys getting cheered more then natalya.

We start off with a solid slap by becky, natalya gave her one aswell and they start in the corner with becky beating her up, natalya fires back and we get more brawling between the two. We got Lets Go Becky chants as Becky tries to lock in the Dis Arm Her natalya keeps her arms ttogether tried to power out with a powerbomb Becky holds on in a trinalg elike hold, natalya uses the ropes for leverage but becky uses it to go into a leg lock, Becky moves to natalyas face going for some kind of head lock as natalya drives her into the barricade outside.

Natalya gets the upper hand beats her up brings her in the ring and targets beckys legs, she hits a wicked suplex to becky her back landing on the mat her legs hitting the ropes, we got more becky chants as Becky starts to make a comeback but natalya hits her leg again and targets it again.

natalya tossed becky into the ring post, becky hanging on the second rope, natalya gets to the top rope with beckys legs and hooks in the sharpshooter, great stuff becky endures goes to the outside, becky ends up throwing natalya into the announcers table and the steel steps.

Natalya goes for her useal offense becky sat up she steps on beckys back hits the ropes, she comes back and becky catches her and locks in the sharpshooter, huge crowd reaction, she drags herself to the corner and uses her legs to knock becky into the corner, we got This Is Awesome chants already.

Goldberg goes to leave and Dolph grabbed a mic. Dolph says that was like getting hit by a baby, he says goldberg doesnt have the guts to fight him man to man, goldberg comes back to the ring, crowd chants goldbergs gonna kill you he hits another spear and at last leaves.

He asks for a mic again, he says Goldberg, anybody can get lucky twice idiot, he knew goldberg didnt have the balls to face him man to man and he never did, and thats why hes a laughing stock, and that he will never be defeated never stay down, hes the best thing going and Goldbergs music hits again, Goldberg comes back out, He picks dolph up pats him on the back, goes rope to rope and hits one final huge spear.

Finn Balor VS 'The Fiend' Bray Wyatt

Its time for Bray Wyatts return! as he debuts as the fiend! words cannot describe my hype for this match, so much so i felt the need to say it here dureing Finns entrance.

We got Yowie Wowie chants as Finn waits for Bray, Firefly fun house starts but it desolves, the lights go out, and brays new theme hits, a twisted, updated version of his old theme, its as badass as he is and its awesome. Its incredible and amazing and i love it. bray walks down the awesome theme playing, holding a lantern that looks like bray wyatts own head with the mouth open revealing a bright light.

He gets in the ring crowds goin nuts the spooky lighting is back and everyones loving it, as am i.

Brays in the ring as the fiend, stareing down Finn, and its a incredible sight. The match starts the crowds excited, The Fiend lays waste to Finn Balor, every attack Finn does fails, the fiend in indestrucible and he hits some heavy blows, brutal stuff, the fiend grabs finns neck and twists finns neck like he just murdered the man, crowds chanting Let Him In, they chant Bray Is Gonna Kill You. The fiend goes for Sister abigale but Finn reverses it and tries to get some offense and goes for the double stomp from the top rope, but bray catches him with the mandible claw, practicly kills him for the pin and win. Crowd cheers as the spooky lighting returns, Corey graves compares bray to the Undertaker, and as a huge undertaker fan i approve. Lights go spooky one last time then the l;ights go out until bray is on the stage looking back at Finn, the lights go out crowd is cheering.

The lights come back on finns in the ring in shock as the crowd chants that was awesome, and rightfully so.


Seth Rollins VS Brock Lesnar: Universal Championship.

We have our main event for the night, brock vs seth, universal title, seths music hits he gets a good response, the burn it down was thunderous. Brock comes out to a decent response and PYRO, brock comes down circles the ring like he owns it.

Paul heyman introduces Lesnar as always, and the crowd says it with him very clearly.

After heymans introduction this match starts off fast, Brock goes straight for the rips and slams seth in the corner hitting with his shoulder repeated and destroys seth. he goes for the german but seth lands on his feet, hits the stomp for a huge crowd pop, gets the near fall, brocks outside as seth hits a big knee to brock, lesnar rolls back in the ring. Seth goes for the kick brock catches him goes for the german again, seth lands again gives brock two kicks and goes for the stomp brock catches him with a F5 but cant pin him.

Finally Brock starts laying in the germans crowd counts with each one, we are up to 3 so far. Seth rolls out the ring brock goes after him, he hits a german outside thats 4 crowd cheers, Brock gets seth in the ring seth cant stand brock hits another, 5. Seths back outside leaning on the ring post goes for the F5 seth counters knocking brock into the post twice and gets brock in the ring, seth does a springboard knee to brock lays him down, seth gets to the top rope goes for another knee brock catches him into another suplex, 6.

We got a clash of Burn It Down and Suplex City chants, brock takes the gloves off and stomps seth in the corner, throws seth around the ring,, he slams rollins into the corner and brock gets seth in the middle of the ring and lays in a bear hug, seth gets to the ropes to escape but lesnar smacks him hard knocks him down.

Brock drives seth into the corner again he charges at seth but seth moved out fo the way as brock hits the ring post, laying lesnar out on the ring apron, seth runs the ropes charges brock gives him a dropkick, sending lesnar into the announcers table, seth rusn again and dives onto brock on the outside, seth goes back into the ring and dives again, brock aint done yet, seth runs again brock catches him and slams him into the ring post with intesne impact.

Both are down Brock gets up first heyman watching on, brock leans on a announcers table, rollins hits a kick leaves lesnar laying on the table, seth gets to the top of the ring post and lands a frogsplash to brock on the table, crowds chanting holy shit.

Both drag themselves up brock gets inside the ring seth gets on the top rope again, rollins hits another splash, lesnars down and rollins waits for lesnar to get up and hits the stomp for a near fall. Seth gets ready to hit another stomp, doing the burn it down thing, lesnar gets up and tries to counter with the F5 but rollins counters and hits a kick to the face lesnars down, rollins hits the stomp and pins brock lesnar to become your new Universal Champion.

Seth rollins has slain the beast once again, he looks like hes gonna cry as he holds the title high, he gets out climbs on one of the announcers tables, and holds the title up high with pyro behind him to close the show.

7/10

Every match was good with the exception of Bayley/Ember moon which seemed like it should have been on RAW.

The Fiend entrance was cool.

Flair vs Stratus was fun to watch as was Becky vs Nattie.

Lots of fun.

So I haven't seen the show...& I won't be watching it...but...
I have a few thoughts...

~ A double count out is a weak finish for a SummerSlam match...
~ Buddy Murphy vs. Apollo Crews?
~ No sign of Bryan or Reigns? Wow...
~ I'm not surprised Elias showed up...I actually called that...
~ Alexa Bliss made it onto the card after all...no shock there...
~ I'm surprised Becky retained the RAW title to be honest...
&
~ Seth wins the Universal title back...Okay...so how long
until Le$nar wins it back?

Out of the 10 matches "booked" before the show I picked 6...
& its had to believe there were no title changes.

Honestly...looking at the card on paper it just looks like a
Crown Jewel show with the 4 women's matches included.

How was Charlotte vs. Trish? Was it a quality match?

Quite good match, Trish is in a very good form, like she hasn’t age at all. The only unlikable thing is that WWE made her look kinda bad and overall too weaker than Charlotte.

Well...the WWE tend to do that with Charlotte...and as
much as she is my Queen...she is extremely "over pushed"
even despite how good she actually is.

I think Charlotte is just on another "level" & only a few of the
other women can truly compete with her. Becky & Asuka...
Sasha & Bayley...maybe Kairi & Ember if we ever get to see it..
Shayna & Io when they are drafted to the main roster.

I'm sure Bayley must be pretty nervous right now...as is
Kofi Kingston.

I'm pretty sure the WWE will want Randy & Charlotte holding
their respective titles come FOX debut time.

Charlotte is over pushed but again less than Becky. Who knows, maybe they both deserve it, but still Lita and Trish were miles far better in their prime. There is something special about Io Shirai though, she could actually be the next Gail Kim if WWE uses her properly, if not she can always go somewhere else and be on the top.

Randy could actually become a new champion before the next ppv. Fox deal means much to WWE and they wouldn’t wanna have someone as average as Kofi hold it.

Charlotte vs Trish was very good match. I was surprised just how good it was.

The Fiend vs Balor was outstanding. Nothing more to say about it.

Kofi vs Orton was looking to be a hot match but then finish was absolute bullshit. This fued will continue which is a good thing but they could of done something alot more fulfilling for the wwe title match at Summerslam.

Seth vs Brock was fun. I didn't know who was going to win and bought into the near falls. Where does seth go from here?

Bayley vs Ember was solid. Bayley definitely wrestled like a heel. Becky vs Natalya was considerably better. Really good match to start the show off.

Shane vs Owen's was fine. It had some cool moments. Owen's is a huge star and the only way is up for him. Shane is still going be about though so maybe this fued will continue...

Goldberg vs Ziggler was fun and helped the show flow. I didn't get the post match antics. Maybe they should of just had a longer match with Ziggler getting more offence. Ziggler got utterly buried.

AJ vs Ricochet was good but not what u was anticipated. I was expecting an absolute stellar performance. Great finish regardless.

This show was a 7/10. Some real good moments and matches. The Kofi vs Orton match was bullshit though and stopped this show from being an 8/10

Great show. Trish vs Charlotte was probably the most over match. But everything was booked safe but solid all around. Not sure I agree with Seth going over.

Summerslam was pretty good. With the length of 3 hours and 20 minutes, it flew by like nothing. Which is interesting because the past couple Summerslams were all edging the 4 hour mark. When the main event came on I was like "already?" and that's definitely a good thing lol
  • I feel like Becky v Natalya would've drowned in the middle of the card, so I'm glad they slotted it in as the opener and made it short/to the point. It went pretty well​
  • Goldberg vs Ziggler was fun and exactly what I wanted out of this. Ziggler even won me over with his post-match call outs. Just the idea of him being so close to dying but still calling Bill a dipshit was hilarious​
  • With a dead crowd, Styles v cosplay Ric & Bayley v Ember fell a bit flat but had cool finishes. Ricochet's gonna need a character eventually. He can't be "flippy dude" forever, that shit must take a toll​
  • Owens v Shane will only go down as a success if this is the end of Shane's reign of terror. I personally think Shane's the best non-athlete to ever step into a wrestling ring but they overdid his whole heel run a lot and I hope this can serve as a definitive ending to it. The crowd was really into this and you love to see it​
  • As much as Charlotte didn't need the rub, it's still nice to see that Trish got to have her 2nd retirement match in a more traditional way, leaving on her back. It was a great match too, but Charlotte didn't really gain much from it tbr. They already made her a bigger deal than Trish before this match was even an idea​
  • Kofi v Randy kinda disappointed me. One of my friends and I were actually stoked about this match. The story was so clear, yet also detailed. We were bouncing ideas back and forth about how they could integrate the whole "stupid" spot/incident into their match, but then they just ended up doing the same finish they did for last year's WWE title match between Styles and Joe. This whole "taunting someone's family" thing is so overdone at this point and quite frankly, I don't give a shit about these guys' families lol. On top of that, Randy didn't even do anything to them.. he just looked at them​
  • you could tell from day 1, that this reinvention of Bray has all been his own vision and I'm totally here for it. Even the first couple of Firefly Funhouse episodes had potential written all over them and now we're finally here. The amount of detail this guy put into his character is astonishing. We already knew about the beautifully crafted fiend mask but that lamp with his old face on it was just insane. Generally speaking, the presentation of this whole thing was perfect from top to bottom​
  • Brock's the man. I don't care what anyone says. He gets it. He made Seth look like a million bucks last night. Anything Seth did over the past couple of months to ruin his own image, they made up for it in this match​
This was the first PPV I've watched live in a while now, so I'm glad they pulled off a good one here. I'm giving it a 7-7.5/10, I enjoyed the show overall

We all now know that Brock is one of the best sellers in wwe after that match. An amazing seller.

Seth on the other hand is absolutely terrible. Really bad at selling injuries. Kind of insulting how we had this devastating beat down on seth a few weeks ago and he turns up at Summerslam with a bandage a d no attempt whatsoever to sell the moves

First off, let’s all give @InsaneAlphaBeta lots of credit for writing up one of the best rate threads possible. This was great. I may have to step up my game on mine.

I gave the show a 7. I was entertained the entire show and it really never dragged. For the first time in a while, when the main event came on, my reaction was “What, already?”

There were a few things that annoyed me. Finn Balor being scared of the Fiend was dumber than dog shit. For a man who occasionally turns into the king of the demons, this made no sense. When they brought Bray back, he should have faced someone else or at least Finn should not have appeared scared. However now the Fiend has a victory over Balor and the Demon has a victory over Bray so it might go somewhere good if they don’t fuck it up.

The main event was great. I honestly didn’t expect Rollins to get the belt back and especially didn’t expect him to give Lesnar the beating that he did. Very fun.
