Live SummerSlam Discussion Thread - SATURDAY August 21st

[Chris]

I don't think they no-showed smark, the reports said they were backstage at the first live event and were just announced as being off the card for "unforseen circumstances"

 

[Comrade Khan]

Which is why they will 100% do it to turn roman face

I misquoted Chris fsr there was supposed to quote Heyman turning on roman

I thought someone said they no showed.

Weird.

 

[Chris]

Someone probably did I'm sure lmao it's the internet

 

[Chris]

Literally no one knows what happened with Bianca and Sasha this last week that I've seen. Meltzer, Sapp, etc all seem lost on it

 

[Comrade Khan]

One thing I haven't seen talked about is wouldn't USA be pissed ? Fox getting both brock n Becky

 

[Smart Marx]

or, they called him Friday night/Saturday morning and did an emergency dump truck of money at his doorstep so he could show up.

That’s 100% what I believe happened.

Way too big of a coincidence WWE planned these huge returns right after Punk’s return dominates the headlines. Just my opinion, though.

They know their new a show lol

True, I remember someone here even telling me Sasha wasn’t at SmackDown so this whole thing confuses me.

 

[Chris]

Yeah but that's not his point lol USA has been passed about stuff before and that's why we got a HIAC match in Raw the night after HIAC bc there was one on smackdown

 

[Marty McFourth]

I don't mind the Carmella bait and switch at all not announcing Sasha is gone until after Bianca's entrance is wack. ROH did something similar Friday for one of their matches and like fuck just announce it at the top of the show. Actual return was great, squash was dumb af but it's whatever and about on par with expectations nowadays

They'll just have to make up for it with a great match now

Sasha wasn't at smackdown but Bianca was. That doesn't mean she no showed tho? She just wasn't there and we don't know why

 

[Smart Marx]

USA paid just as much or almost as much so they should be if Fox got both huge returns. I’d demand one.

 

[Smart Marx]

Sasha wasn't at smackdown but Bianca was. That doesn't mean she no showed tho? She just wasn't there and we don't know why

OK. I was just under impression they were saying she was supposed to be and wasn’t.

I’d prefer that not to be the case so I’ll take it could have been asked not to, but either way confused.
