Eivion Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Dug the opening with Cena. Edge and Seth's segment wasn't too bad. Toni's debut was decent. Finn/Sami was solid. Dug the Corbin/K backstage segment. Jimmy/Dominick was decent. Roman's promo was great and I'm pretty damn excited for Finn/Roman. Was good seeing the crowd so damn excited for it. Finn/Roman happening already is a surprise. I figured it would be post Summerslam if it was going down. I assume this means Cena is unable to actually work Summerslam. Curious for when they reschedule the match with Roman. Its a big four ppv kind of match though it missing out here in favor of Roman/Finn kind of makes me happy as it does make Finn feel like a bigger deal. This was solid-good episode. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nineteen Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Really liked most of the show but was anyone else surprised the Big E/Crews/Roode and Ziggler/Nakamura/Cesaro thing didn't end up with a Teddy Long special tonight (Holla holla) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoFistsJustFlips Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Am I the only one that still expects Cena vs Reigns at Summer Slam? Like what makes anyone think this is the actual direction? Cena was on this show hyping up fighting Reigns. I'm not always right but Imma def put a $5 on Cena vs Reigns still being the match lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cwoy2j Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 (edited) I'm actually liking Baron Corbin as Ol' Gil from The Simpsons. I hope that the next time he wins a match or someone gives him money he goes, "Ol' Baron'll be eating food tonight!"

But after Toni moved to the UK she got extra training under Deano, and she asked him if she could use the move before using it in NXT. Zoey made it look like a crazy headspike but she actually just did a handstand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cena's being advertised for 15 shows leading up to SummerSlam. I feel like it's all but certain he's wrestling Roman on the PPV. Heyman singing what I can only describe as as a kazoo version of Cena's theme as he walked off was hilarious. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StretchMediatedHypertrophy Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Storm's finish on Smackdown was the 'standard' Ruby Cutter, which makes sense. She's much better as a face. Pat McAfee actually noting her previous finish was Storm Zero showed way too much knowledge of the product, was actually kinda hilarious. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nofuture Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 If anything, I think McAfee has made Cole better. He seems a bit more lively and not so robotic. I think Cole has even said McAfee has revitalized him on commentary. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Green Meanie Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 This was the first WWE show my household has watched in...a year and a half? We were thoroughly confused. Only thing I liked was Baron Corbin recreating a classic Simpsons moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamBroken Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 (edited) I wish Cena was full time for good again, he's made everything more exciting already. I've thought SD has largely sucked for the past 2 years, this may have been the most I've enjoyed an episode since from what I saw. Watched Bianca/Carmella, always dig the unique atmosphere type venues that differ from the normal every other event look. Toni Storm debut was cool, poor Zelina. Finn's done nothing for me since last main roster run. the Corbin backstage bit was genuinely hilarious. The way he sold the nutshot was classic. The first time I've enjoyed anything Kevin Owens related in years. I could maybe get behind them as a unit with Corbin turning unlikely face.
