I'm so hyped for Becky to return tonight at long last

Spoiler

 

[Smart Marx]

What is it called? SummerSlam Saturday? I don't know!

 

[Hidden Blaze]

Is it bad that Takeover is the show I’m more excited for this weekend?

 

[Chris]

Isn't that every weekend when there's a TakeOver and WWE show the past 5 years?

 

[Smart Marx]

My excitement was with Rampage. TakeOver and SummerSlam the same to me at this point. TO most likely will be better, though.

That said, I'm just now seeing this SummerSlam card and it's actually stacked for once. Seth and Edge already got me ready to go.

 

[Chris]

Seth/Edge easily my most hype match

Not counting Royal Rumble(my favorite night of the year in WWE land) they’ve been a FEW times the non takeover show was what I was hyped for most. But I mean... true

 

[Hidden Blaze]

But yeah. Edge and Seth is what has me caring a bit about SummerSlam.

 

[Smart Marx]

I'm just confused why they didn't pull the trigger on Reigns and Goldberg? Still holding out hope for WrestleMania?

And yeah, I'm pumped af for that Seth and Edge match. That's got in the same zone as Omega and Christian. Too bad neither got a belt.

 

[Chris]

Once Cena was available I don't think they even considered Goldberg for Reigns. Also pretty sure goldberg was Lashley's backup plan anyway since they wanted brock

 

[Smart Marx]

Just feels like a missed opportunity since we never got that match. I wouldn't put it past them try again this Mania. Goldberg said he has 2 matches left.

 

[Dale]

Usually doesn't matter how stacked a WWE PPV is and how meh a TakeOver card can look, there's usually always more hype around TakeOver given their track record of virtually always delivering.

I'm pumped for SummerSlam though, really does feel like a big PPV.

 

[Smart Marx]

I wonder why Brock is holding out? I doubt they didn't offer him a sweat deal.

 

[Chris]

Just feels like a missed opportunity since we never got that match. I wouldn't put it past them try again this Mania. Goldberg said he has 2 matches left.

he'll be the backup for Rock and Lesnar I'm sure but I do think they'll do him vs Roman over anyone else unfortunately lol
