John Cena again puts over someone right in the middle in the match of the night. Finn Balor as Champ just shows how wrong Mofo was about not having championship material on my Smackdown draft with Baldwin. Heck this whole weekend did that since you could put the World...or Universal...title on Nakamura right now if you wanted to. |

This is what I wrote about Summerslam on EWB. I was at Summerslam and thought it was a very good show. WWE did well to put together about 10 hours of wrestling these last two nights and make most of it good. 12 Man Tag was fun at least. Usos seemed to steal American Alpha's thunder in the finish and I wonder if that was intentional. Dudleys vs. Neville and Zayn was also fun. No idea why Zayn is on the pre-show as he's massively over and had just beaten Owens at Battleground. Cesaro and Sheamus began their best of 7 and I guess that was fun too, although no idea what the point of all it is. Now for the main show. Enzo and Cass got a massive reaction. Good opener with them vs. JeriKo. Seems like a good spot for all of them. Absolutely shocked at the Sasha vs. Charlotte finish. Charlotte dropping Sasha like that was a botch right? It almost looked like a crazy planned spot. Still thought it was a very good match nonetheless. i'm expecting Bayley tomorrow is Sasha being gone for a while rumors are true. The Miz is great, Maryse is great. Sorry Apollo Crews but you just aren't that interesting. Standing moonsault is bad ass though. They need to give Miz a real IC title program instead of these random 7 minute PPV matches against guys like Darren Young and Crews. Ok. AJ Styles vs. John Cena should have been a Wrestlemania main event. I'm sorry Dean Ambrose and Dolph Ziggler but Styles vs. Cena needed to be the focus of Smackdown here and if that meant the title should be on Cena or Styles than so be it. For all the talk that we want Cena to drop down from the main events and top spot he continually delivers big time and it seems that sometimes the rest of the roster can't follow him. If you were going to do Lesnar vs. Orton they way it was done...I think AJ vs. Cena should have closed the show. Ambrose and Ziggler representing the brand with the title just looks bad as they are on a lower level than Cena and AJ. One of best matches I've ever seen live. And Cena puts someone else over clean as a sheet. I was fine with the tag title stuff and I like Jon Stewart. I must say when Anderson and Gallows came to WWE I wouldn't have expected them to be comedy heels though. I tried to buy Dolph Ziggler as a World Title contender but I couldn't do it. Never thought Ziggler was winning and this match didn't do it for me. Shane McMahon trying to hype it ahead of time about it stealing the show only hurt it too...since your brand already stole and sold the show on ebay with Styles vs. Cena. AJ Styles needs to be champion by Backlash...if that's the Smackdown PPV. Ambrose acted heelish here, so maybe a double turn since the crowd is way behind AJ as it is. Nikki Bella was expected to replace Eva Marie and did. I do feel like Becky Lynch is being wasted a bit...and a feud with her against Nikki actually could be pretty good. I liked Naomi's entrance for one. Yeah, the Universal belt sucks. But man did Brooklyn blow that out of proportion and help ruin Balor's moment here. I didn't really like this match either. I don't understand what's so special about the Demon as Balor basically got his ass kicked for 15 minutes by Rollins. It was a good match, and Balor is a great choice to be the RAW Champ, but it didn't click for me. By the way, the fans were chanting "this belt sucks" and other belt related things. Horrible crowd for that. Roman Reigns got a great spear in on Rusev. I wonder if that was a shot at people who wanted Goldberg to show up. Rusev's been pretty much the best booked babyface for over a year now, from the crap with Dolph and now this. I must say, I didn't really buy Randy Orton as someone who could beat Brock, so the booking of the match was pretty perfect for me. The pre-match video had Brock saying that he was on another orbit than Orton and well I absolutely agree. WWE smartly booked it that way as Orton was pretty much destroyed. I don't know if the blood was in the design and I guess as I've gotten older blood bothers me a bit more, but it did add to the moment so there's that. I'm not sure where all this "it kept Orton strong" stuff is coming from because I mean...Brock killed him, survived two RKOs, and left him lying in a pool of his own blood to the point the referee had to stop the match. That's the exact opposite of being kept strong for Orton. If anything it read to me "we got our value out of a Orton-Brock match". I do expect a Shane-Brock match in the future. This was still a better finish than last year's Summerslam mind you. A really good show overall. |

I just read a report that Sasha dropping the title has been planned for a few weeks now. she wasn't injured and isn't suspended. They are giving her some time off to rest up some nagging injuries. http://www.wrestlinginc.com/wi/news/2016/0821/616790/why-sasha-banks-lost-the-wwe-women-title/ |

It seems weird they'd give her the title in the first place then. |

They gave her the title because it was the first post-draft Raw and they wanted to do a title change to get people talking basically. |
