MonteCarl Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 So, looking at the SummerSlam card, SDL has 6 matches, RAW has 5, and then the Cruiserweight title. Is this the first time SDL has had more matches on a show than RAW? Especially a "major" show like SummerSlam? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like that idea a lot. The SDL matches are the only ones I want to see. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammerva Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Man this is all setting perfectly for Reigns to look like a complete idiot on Sunday. AGAIN. I mean they are even hyping it as Brock being worried about Roman for the first time. I don't care what the betting lines are in this one Man there are so many damn matches on this show. I know there is a 2 hour pre show but either a lot of the matches we are looking forward to are going to be too short or we are looking at closer to a 7 hour PPV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Natural Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 I hope they stupidly don't turn the likeable Becky Lynch heel. Charlotte Flair needs to be a heel again, she's better at it. Rare when a wrestler's equally great as both. Eddie Guerrero was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolfan in NYC Posted August 15, 2018 Author Share Posted August 15, 2018 Something that was in plain sight, but I just noticed. There are 13 matches on this card, but with the borderline exception of a triple threat... There are zero gimmick matches on this card. Nothing major, just... nice.

The Natural Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Something came to my mind yesterday. This will be the first SummerSlam without a Sasha Banks match, she made the main roster in time for SummerSlam 2015. The past two SummerSlams, Sasha Banks was in the WWE Women's Championship match vs. Charlotte at SummerSlam 2016 and against Alexa Bliss last year for the WWE RAW Women's Championship.

The Natural Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Main card matches I'm interested in at SummerSlam: AJ Styles vs. Samoa Joe. Daniel Bryan vs. The Miz. Bludgeon Brothers vs. The New Day. Carmella vs. Becky Lynch vs. Charlotte Flair. Alexa Bliss vs. Ronda Rousey. That's 4/5 from Smackdown Live.

Craig H Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 It's weird, but for the first time in forever, I'm as hyped for a main card match as I am for a Takeover match. Joe vs AJ might also be the first match in forever to be better than what will go down at Takeover. Unless Gargano and Ciampa bust out another classic or Mustache Mountain, Creepy Kyle, and Roddy bust out another classic. I've just been watching so much AJ and Joe stuff today that I'm so stoked for their match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you haven't seen it, check out Sasha vs. Ruby from this past week's RAW. It's a damn good little match. It felt like their "SummerSlam" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbarrie Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 I could see it too, but I like the idea somebody else posted better (which I can't find now to properly attribute). Miz beats AJ for the title by bullshit chicanery at the Rumble, Bryan wins the Rumble, Miz-Bryan at Wrestlemania. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Fowler Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Unless I'm forgetting someone in my old age, if Joe wins he'll be the first man to ever hold the ROH world title, the TNA/Impact/GFW/Impact World/Global title, and the WWE title. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Natural Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 Main card predictions: Reigns wins the WWE Universal Championship. Be gone, Brock! Styles retains the WWE Championship. Hope I'm wrong and Joe gets it. The Miz beats Daniel Bryan. Ronda Rousey is the new WWE RAW Women's Championship. Can see Bliss cheating to retain though. Charlotte Flair is the new WWE Smackdown Live Women's Champion but I prefer it if it's Becky Lynch. The New Day are the new WWE Smackdown Live Tag Team Champions. Kevin Owens gets the MITB briefcase. Ziggler retains the WWE Intercontinental Champion. They should have kept it on Seth Rollins to lose it to Finn Balor. Balor Club wins. Nakamura defends the WWE United States Title.
