I didn't get to see the PPV, only read the results, but I can genuinely say that the winners and losers of all the matches disappoint me, except Lashley. It's lame they took the title off Ripley after zero real title defenses. It's lame that they have completely nullified Edge twice after huge build up. Nicky Ash is a comic relief character, not someone I'd put in a title match. Big E is cool, but a midcarder.
The matches might have been amazing, but just like a bad ending can ruin a good movie, it can lower the enjoyment of a PPV.

LMAO read the results and saw Charlotte beat Rhea again. Guess Rhea is getting the Asuka treatment.
People complain about AEW’s women’s division yet heres Charlotte about to have another transitional reign just to add to her total.

Charlotte doesn’t have fake boobs anymore so she’s okay with being hit on the chest like that Nah, they're clearly still fake - she just downsized.

So is there a reason SummerSlam is on a Saturday this year? Stadium owners in Vegas wanted it.

Hyped to see a real superstar back and much need star power,but seeing Cena again and how he looks reminds me of when Warrior came back at Wrestlemania 8.Long hair looks like he lost a ton of weight..ect but hopefully didn't lose a step in the ring. Can’t lose a step if he was never good to begin with. Imagine thinking Cena can't wrestle.

- The Usos winning the SmackDown Tag Team Titles was predictable - Nikki A.S.H. winning the women's Money in the Bank ladder match was a smart move, she is over in her current gimmick and Vince see dollar signs when they release new merch. - Raw Tag Team Championship Match was okay but I would have done a title change. - The WWE Championship Match was good and the continuation of making Lashley a beast. - Raw Women's Championship Match for good but really Charlotte Flair with the belt again and when the is Vince going to have her do a clean job already, I sick of the booking of her winning all the time, she was kind of sloppy in this match. I can't wait for Becky to come back and take what she never lost. - Big E winning was much deserved and if I had the book I would have him beat Bobby Lashley for the WWE Championship when he cashes in the briefcase. - The Universal Championship was good but to long for a Roman Reigns match. It's great to see John "I have a small bald spot" Cena back.

I have thoughts.
- Charlotte won the title again. Must be Sunday
- If we don't get a figure of Alexa's gear for tonight, we riot.
- I love Nikki Cross (ASH whatever) but she's an odd choice. From all the women in that match she's probably the one I can least see as Women's champion. She's not even close to that league. This won't end well.
- Most of the winners were predictable except the MITB matches
- Big E continues to get pushed, which is nice. It's also nice (for my heart) that Kofi didn't win. It would break my heart for E to cash in on Kofi. I need the power of Positivity.
- Kevin... NO. I can handle you using the Stunner, that's fine. But the Leap of Faith is off limits. Stop that.
- Ricochet, meanwhile is just *chefs kiss*
- I legit spent a whole couple moments wondering "If Edge can't topple Roman, who can..." and then Cena's music hit.
- Not gonna lie, having Cena back really, uh. Well seeing Cena in the ring with Roman and seeing how much to this day Cena utterly and completely outshine the top dog in the WWE right now... it's really disheartening for the future of the company. They just don't make them like that anymore.
All in all, an awesome PPV. Enjoyed it very much. Great job.

I haven't been following current WWE all too much recently. But here's my notes. What the hell happened to Nikki Cross? Is AJ Styles ok after that horrible bump? Big E winning was cool, but too expected not gonna lie. I wanted Morrison to win. Edge vs Roman was the only match I cared about, I NEED another Edge World Title run. But my favorite wrestler loses twice, and then my least favorite human being of all-time Mr. Johnathan Cena Jr. just haaaaad to come back. I could have gone the rest of my life without seeing him again. For years my Cena hate was real, then for years it was satirical, but now I hate the f*cker again. 15 years of Cena ruining Sunday Nights everywhere. Edge deserves that title run, needs to happen. I need it to happen. I turned off the show the second the bell rung and Edge lost. Then about an hour later as I was just getting over Edge losing, I turn on the internet to see that Mr. Wahbahdooooooo came back... Horrible day, but an alright MITB show... Except until Cena's music hit. Also Nattie should have won the Women's MITB match, nobody deserved it as much as her.

I want Lashley vs Woods at SummerSlam, Woods wins (Kofi and Big E stop MVP from costing Woods the match) then during the celebration Big E beats the sh*t out of both of them and cashes in. Big E is too big not to be a big mean heel.

Big E is too big not to be a big mean heel. I have a horrible feeling that's where this is leading. I mean, I would love to see E as champion but they are never making him Universal champ with what's going on on SD. He's 100% getting traded to RAW and from there he will end up betraying his brothers. I can really seeing it go down that way with Woods (or maybe Kofi) being give the title for all of thirty seconds before E cashes in. Mind you, we will see it coming a mile away, but it's still gonna hurt. I love E so much as a face but I know he has the potential to be a b*stard of a heel. Could you imagine if they brought back "I Need Five" as his theme? I mean, they won't, but I like to imagine it in my head.

Could you imagine if they brought back "I Need Five" as his theme? I mean, they won't, but I like to imagine it in my head. So many guys had better theme songs that they should bring out. Drew (Broken Dreams), Sheamus (Written In My Face), Jeff Hardy (No More Words), and Lashley (Hell Will Be Calling Your Name). Big E's old singles theme is better than his Wale theme. Personally I'd love a Big E heel turn, I love the New Day but I want it to end now. I want all three of them to go their separate ways now. Big E needs to be a main event heel. At this point I don't really care what Kofi does, because he's done everything. More Rumble spots I guess. Xavier Woods is my real focus though, I want him to be the next King of the Ring.

Can’t lose a step if he was never good to begin with. Cena was never good? Okay.

We all read all the backstage stuff, so I don't understand why anyone acts surprised that someone doesn't like Cena. We've all seen the matches where Cena was booed mercilessly. www.bing.com/videos/search?q=cena+booed&view=detail&mid=3E8F0E198D3E892FB0093E8F0E198D3E892FB009&FORM=VIREEven as someone who was a fan of Cena before he had a gimmick...I got tired of the constant Cena>everyone push that happened for years. I can only imagine how irritating it would be if you never liked him to begin with.

Return of the power. Better show than all of the no fans pandemic events combined. Fans are this sport. The promotion brings the fire, they bring the party. THANK YOU FANS. YOU are what makes these wrestlers immortal & without y'all, this is nothing.

The only thing that matters is what he does in ring and with the microphone. And he has been pretty damn good at both aspects for a long time.

That pop for Cena was one of the biggest of all time, without doubt. That Match will sell Summerslam alone, it's been a long while since we've had a truly 'big fight' feel poster Match.
I can see Big E unfortunately turning heel when he cashes in, but I'd like to see a New Day Triple Threat for the WWE Championship potentially down the line, Wrestlemania?

Can't think Cena is gonna win the sh*t but we can get a new Elite now. Looks like a Dallas Stars shirt ⭐

While I’ve always felt Cena was crap in the ring, the guy is no-doubt a star and nobody on the current roster, including Roman, touches his level of star power. I’m sure SummerSlam will sell well with Cena’s return, but considering Roman basically squashed him at No Mercy 2017, it’s hard for me to buy into this as a “super fight” (Roman did kick out of three of his finishers, including a Super AA).

I can only imagine how irritating it would be if you never liked him to begin with.As a Randy Orton fan, those Cena years were rough man. Because Orton is the best of his generation and should have been treated as such, but no Cena just had to WAHBAHDOOOOO his way into being top guy. I was a Wade Barrett fan, I was an Alex Riley fan, I was an OG Wyatt Family fan. All those great things ruined by one man. For along time now my hate for him has been basically satire, but now I genuinely hate him once again. I want the whole f*cking world to know it too.
