WWE SummerSlam | 7:00 PM | Kickoff Show - 6:00 PM | WWE Network on Peacock
Posted on 8/21/21 at 12:38 pm
Posted on 8/21/21 at 12:38 pm
Last night was fun... wasn't it?
Let's check the new metrics that matter... YouTube views as of 12:20 PM
SummerSlam go-home angle from Smackdown between Roman Reigns & John Cena on WWE's YouTube page... 926,000 views in 14 hours
CM Punk's entrance alone (not even the promo) from AEW Rampage on AEW's YouTube page... 2.5 million views in that same 14 hour span
WWE SummerSlam tonight comes from Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada
WWE Universal Championship Match
Roman Reigns (c) vs. John Cena
WWE Championship Match
Bobby Lashley (c) vs. Goldberg
Triple Threat Match for the Raw Women's Championship
Nikki A.S.H. (c) vs. Charlotte Flair vs. Rhea Ripley
Smackdown Women's Championship Match
Bianca Belair (c) vs. Sasha Banks
Smackdown Tag Team Championship Match
The Usos (c) vs. Rey & Dominik Mysterio
Raw Tag Team Championship Match
AJ Styles & Omos (c) vs. Randy Orton & Matt Riddle
WWE United States Championship Match
Sheamus (c) vs. Damian Priest
Edge vs. Seth Rollins
Drew McIntyre vs. Jinder Mahal
Alexa Bliss vs. Eva Marie
so far... no matches have been announced for the kickoff show... though I'm sure it'll come out 1 of the matches listed above will be moved to the pre-show
also... WWE is still promoting the Belair/Banks match even though there are concerns about Banks' being cleared considering some house show matches between the 2 were canceled last week and Banks wasn't on SD last night.
Someone needs to check on her mental state
ETA: through decree of TRC...

Rasslin? Is this still watched?

Glad you started this, I’m almost done with the standings through MitB now. Digging through everything for the cash ins is going to be a bitch though.
Go ahead and this to the points:

I’ll have the standings and the points rewards in my next post.

I’m tempted to make the two top title matches lower points given how obvious the outcomes are but I won’t:
35 apiece for the winner
30 for the winner
25 for the winner
20 for the winner of each
15 for the winner of each

Who thinks they'll give Cena his 17 th title and then maybe Roman win it back on Raw in an immediate rematch (crazy scenario) . Or do you think Roman wins and sends Cena back to Hollywood so he can build his resume more and face the Rock later on.

It wouldn't surprise me to see the crowd hijack the show with AEW and CM Punk chants after last night
Posted on 8/21/21 at 1:18 pm to rt3
my picks:
Roman Reigns via submission/referee stoppage
Bobby Lashley via pinfall
Nikki A.S.H pins Charlotte
Bianca Belair via pinfall
The Usos (Jey pins Rey)
RK-Bro (Riddle pins Styles)
Damian Priest via pin
Seth Rollins via pin
Drew McIntyre via pin
Alexa Bliss via pin
I'm just waiting for Big E to got the MITB briefcase back at some point from Corbin... Goldberg to beat Lashley and win the title... Lashley jump Goldberg post-match... Big E cash in on fallen Goldberg
Are they really about to have a father & son falling out storyline? Please don't tell me it won't get classless enough to invoke that storyline from like 2005 between Rey & Eddie with Dominik's custody decided in a ladder match
Nikki A.S.H. has to win clean here, right? RIGHT? Otherwise those boos will get even louder for her gimmick
Seth has to win to set him up as Roman's next challenger, right?

Hot take: I’d be fine with WWE cutting Rey and his kid. They are holding back two significantly more interesting tag teams in The Street Profits and Alpha Academy for an old guy who is basically done and his kid who doesn’t have it.
Montez Ford is basically black Sting to me. Big, athletic, and charismatic. It took WCW awhile to really realize what they had in him, hopefully someone gets in Vince’s ear about him and they give him the push.
WWE’s tag team division is right on the cusp of being great, they just need to drop the previously mentioned dead weight and go balls deep on it.

a storyline I would push if I was in WWE that could maybe put some new life into the Raw women's division
Nikki loses tonight
but she goes back to Rhea's promo from a few weeks ago about finding that darkness that gives her that edge to be champion
so Nikki seeks out her old friend... the woman she no longer recognized... Alexa Bliss to help her find that darkness
and all of a sudden it's Alexa's darkness & Nikki's light working together yet always battling within each other
and it can end 1 of 2 ways... Alexa's darkness wins and Nikki becomes heel (like SAnitY Nikki Cross)
or Nikki's light wins and we're done with The Fiend gimmick in WWE as normal Lexxxi returns
ETA: also... we'd obviously put the women's tag team titles on them while the battle between light and dark is really ramping up

Meh. They need to keep them apart for awhile.

My picks:
Reigns wins
Lashley wins
Nikki retains
Bianca wins
Usos win
RKBro win
Priest wins
Edge wins
Drew wins
Alexa wins
The RKBro and Edge picks are the ones I’m least confident about followed by Priest. It may just be too early for them to win the titles, but I don’t see them going past the next PPV without having won them. Edge needs a win, but so does Seth. This feels like a 50-50 situation. Priest almost has to win to make the US title picture interesting, but there hasn’t been much build up to it. Maybe with the Miz and Morrison breaking up we’ll get some more craziness in the mid card with the title. Sheamus/Priest/Miz/Morrison/Ricochet need to be all in the mix through at least WM for it. Maybe have a big ladder match for it there. Maybe give Shelton one last hurrah or let Cedric do his spots (just keep him away from a mic).

Apparently a lot of the sports books in Vegas got in the ear of some city officials who have asked WWE to keep the show short tonight, because of the Pacquiao fight. Money rules everything man

it's been known tonight's show should be short ever since the Pacquiao fight was booked
remember... the 2 venues are right across the street from each other and a lot of the people at SummerSlam will go across the street to the Pacquiao fight

If the match isn’t Bianca vs. Sasha then it’s thrown out.

Rt- I have the Peacock Network bc Snoop/Hart highlights. So I get Summerslam in real time. Everyone picking Lashley and Reigns. Is this the CM Punk counter? I haven’t a clue on story lines. I can look those up. But thanks for the help. Helps me get my mind off everything else.
