I do feel Asuka could have just won and got cashed in on though but hey what do I know

 

[Comrade Khan]

not rewatching the main though lol. I would say overall good show. depends on your expectations if it met them or not, I think it could have been better. but it was not by any means a bad show.

Yea... it feels like they may just wanted to have a hook for doing Iyo/Bianca, either before or after Bianca continues her story with Charlotte, but it comes off more as a unnecessary sympathy-pull, which is completely misplaced with her being way more serious lately.

Guess they also didn't want a Heel to cash in on another Heel... which is just

Definitely wasn't bad, no. Could've been way worse, of course.

With 122 votes the show is at a 6.85 outta 10 on Cagematch at the moment with Seth/Bálor and Gunther/Drew being the only +8 matches and at least for me, I feel that that is pretty accurate.

On Cagematch there are 16 better and 19 worse rated Summerslams... yea, that also feels correct.

Show was awesome, marks are just upset because the heel won

 

[THEDEVILHIMSELF]

Same match same finish for 2+ years. So original! Cinema!

Not the same finish nobody in a million years predicted that, the predictions where either Rikkishi costing his son, or the Rock getting involved in some capacity

Can anyone tell me why Cody wasnt Dqed? Made no sense it wasnt a no Dq match unless Im missing something

I mean, no? I mean technically you can say that. But I would be tired of this reign if it was a face. Shocker sometimes people have different opinions isn’t it?

Referees discretion.

Everyone asking about that, but no one seems to wanna ask why the main event had interference when when the match details it said no interference. yet that was an amazing ending to some

People would've been pissing blood since mid 2021, if it were face Reigns.

 

[THEDEVILHIMSELF]

I agree with @Brandon Blaze Im a Reigns Mark, been a fan since his Shield days, and Im a bit tired of the reign, but Im just waiting for the payoff whatever it is, so coming from someone whos been a Roman fan for years its gotten a bit stale if I do say so myself

 

[Death By Looch]

WWE simply got too much praise for the whole Bloodline story and now they are overdoing it. It's nothing new, they have done that time and time again over the last 15 years.
