Dolfan in NYC Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 I wonder what Kevin Owens' reaction was when he was told he was jobbing to Shane at Summerslam. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Fun match they are really stacking next week's smackdown. Cena vs. Nakamura sounds more like a match that could have headlined SummerSlam. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HumanChessgame Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Maybe it's because Jericho has been gone for a while but I got a real kick out of the opening segment. His line about beating up the guy in the grocery store made me laugh a lot more than it probably should have. The match itself was really good, much better than AJ/Owens from Battleground. Much like his matches with Ziggler, Nak had a better match against Corbin in the SD followup to a ppv match than at the ppv itself. Cena going after the world title was obvious, but the match next week gives me some small hope we won't have to endure that at Summerslam. The lack of a Fashion Police segment was disheartening.

Ryan Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 I assume Corbin interferes and the match never happens and is turned into Jinder/Corbin vs Cena/Nakamura with Nakamura walking out on Cena. He'll win anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Shane will probably win clean in a squash; then, Owens is fired the next day for a Wellness Violation. "He's obviously not well, look at his gut!" says Shane. He will then be shipped back to NXT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eivion Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Nakamura vs. Corbin was much better than the Battleground match. I dug the Cena/Jinder segment. Cena vs. Nakamura happening on SDL just feels weird as fuck. That is easily a big four ppv match at minimum. The lack of reaction was heartrending. I don't mind Shane vs. KO as long as its a brawl of some sorts. I don't trust KO to lead Shane to a good normal match like AJ. No Rusev or Fashion Police just makes me sad.

Beech27 Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Cena/Nakamura is... interesting. It's the guy Nakamura has said he most wants to work with, and frankly, New Japan and WWE main event style have so overlapped at this point that it should be a comfortable fit. So maybe it's the start of seeing THAT Nakamura, at least somewhat regularly. There's a more pessimistic argument to be made too, though: they're just rushing this out now before any more shine comes off of him. Pop a number, move on.

sydneybrown Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 I love all this talk about Shane destroying KO at SummerSlam as if that's what he does. Shane hasn't won a singles match since 2006. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puro fans, Cena fans, the idly curious, whatever. Sometimes they seem to care about individual shows halting a downward ratings trajectory--or improving a stagnant one--and with AJ/Owens added too, I'm guessing this might be one of those times.

Curt McGirt Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 They could be testing the waters for a big rematch on PPV. Or they just don't give a shit and said "yeah, that'll shut up the internet for a minute". Probably both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cristobal Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Look, most of us watched Battleground despite just about the biggest couldn't-draw-flies-if-it-was-rolled-in-honey-and-dogshit main event ever. WWE is cluing into PPV numbers being less important than people not letting their subscriptions lapse. The best way to keep us shelling out our 9.99/month is to make the content we all watch not suck. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would really enjoy a Bennett-Kanellis/Aiden English tag team. Bennett works so much better as a tag guy. It would be at least one more heel team since the Colons are MIA. I also wouldn't mind seeing Sami and Dillinger team more often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
