Live SummerSlam Discussion Thread - SATURDAY August 21st

[Marty McFourth]

Agreed. And honestly looking at this card, it feels like the first truly "biggest party of the summer" we've had in years.

This show used to be the second Mania you'd get in the Summer and this time it's living up and maybe even got a better card than Mania.

I'm more hyped for this than Mania. Most of my hype for that event came from the crowds just being back.

Cena/Roman and Seth/Edge are huge matches for me. That's literally a dream match for Seth, it's gonna be so good.

I think I was more hype overall for Mania but Cena/Roman and Seth/Edge I'm more hype for than any single Mania match

 

[Chris]

Well maybe not the edge/roman/Bryan match tbh lol

 

[Smart Marx]

With me riding a mile high with my AEW fandom, it would be apropos for WWE to put the nail in the coffin that is my WWE one with a Cena win.

Out with a bang.

Yeah that's a good point. Mania itself I remember the build-up to it and the crowds being back really exciting. Even that delay turned out to be awesome, getting those off the cuff promos from wrestlers. Summerslam has really great big matches.

I have been dead set on Roman retaining, and the way Smackdown ended does keep me leaning that way. Cena has mostly been getting the best of this build.

Although a part of me could see them putting it on Cena because it'll be his 17th World Title and it'd be big news that would spread around the mainstream sites and whatnot.

 

[Marty McFourth]

Actually I just remembered Roman said he'd 'leave WWE' last night in his promo if he loses, so yeah I'm like 99% sure Roman has this in the bag.

Probably the most important part of the promo, otherwise I'd have the chance of a Cena swerve a bit higher.

If the title wasn't on the line, I wouldn't even care. But man, what a kick in my pants if they did it.

 

[Jimmy King]

I’m torn for the main event as I like both guys so much. I have on one my Cena shirts even though I know with this new stipulation that he most likely won’t win, and I’m one hundred percent fine with Roman retaining and continuing his reign of dominance.

 

[Hoss]
