Live SummerSlam Discussion Thread - Saturday August 5th 2023

Barrett said it I believe but Brock hasn’t really confirmed anything so I don’t know if it’s canon

 

[Cwalker]

I pitched that Brock was pissed at Cody for losing to Roman…

Cause if Cody won, Brock could challenge for the title again.

Watch it end up being something to do with Heyman after all the Bloodline stuff is over and he's away from them.

 

[Sabretooth]

I mean Brock’s character is being an angry SOB who likes to hurt people and if his reasoning is that he just wants to hurt Cody that’s honestly good enough for me.

 

[The Gipper]

Yeah I’m not expecting Brock to have a strong narrative reason here. It’s more like “Oh you’re a tasty snack, I’m just gonna kill you.”

Logan Paul may be opening the night at WWE SummerSlam.

On the latest episode of his Impaulsive podcast, Paul revealed that he has requested for his match to go on first at SummerSlam. Paul's brother, Jake Paul, is facing Nate Diaz in a boxing match that same night. Paul said he's planning to take a private jet from Detroit to Dallas so that he can walk to the ring with his brother for the fight.

Paul said the timing will be tight and it's "barely possible" for him to make it to Dallas in time. Paul isn't sure if he'll be able to make it for the start of the fight.

"After SummerSlam, my brother who is fighting on the same night in Dallas, as soon as my match ends, I'm going to hop on a PJ [private jet], fly to Dallas in my gear, walk in the ring with my brother for his fight against Nate Diaz. I'm going to try to. I don't know if I'm going to make it, but I think if I do, it'll be minutes. Like, I walk into the venue, round one Jake Paul/Nate Diaz starts."

Seth Rollins, who was the guest on Impaulsive, noted that Paul will have to open the show at SummerSlam.

"I requested first match," Paul responded. "We did the math, it's barely doable."

Paul's match for SummerSlam hasn't been officially announced, but it's expected that he'll be facing Ricochet at the event. That match may become official when Paul appears on Raw next Monday.

SummerSlam is being held at Ford Field in Detroit on Saturday, August 5.

I'm so hyped for that match. If it goes as I expect it to, it would make for a great opener anyway.

SummerSlam looks meh

 

[Death By Looch]

The heck did I just read

 

[Wiseman]

Possibly the culmination of the hottest storyline WWE has had in a VERY long time will be main eventing the show and it's just meh?

It's just gonna be another rehash of 2020.

 

[Chris]

I don't know that I've ever been this hype for a match that I was 110% certain of the winner lmao

 

[Death By Looch]

I'm sure I'm gonna hate their setup once again, just like the last what... 4-5 years by now? (Except for the Thunderdome one)... but at least the card looks entertaining, apart from the usual one, two things. Gonna be a good show.

 

[Cwalker]

Paul and Ricochet will be quite the show from an athletic standpoint

 

[Death By Looch]

I couldn't care less about it, tbh Especially with Logan going over.

It's gonna be a spectacle, yea, but that doesn't necessarily make it automatically a good one.
