Roman Reigns (c) vs Jey Uso (Undisputed Universal WWE Championship, Tribal Combat match)
Seth Rollins (c) Finn Balor (World Heavyweight Championship)
Asuka (c) vs Bianca Bel Air vs Charlotte Flair (WWE Women's Championship)
Gunther (c) vs Drew McIntyre (Intercontinental Championship)
Cody Rhodes vs Brock Lesnar
Becky Lynch vs Trish Stratus
Ronda Rousey vs Shayna Baszler
Logan Paul vs Ricochet
Battle Royal featuring RAW and SD competitors

Predictions seem fairly obvious:

• Reigns retains
• Balor takes WHC
• Asuka retains - Io cash in, think it's time for a failed cash in though, but could see her winning
• Gunther retains
• Cody goes over
• Becky goes over
• Shayna goes over
• crazy moves, result doesn't matter, double count out both men laid out works
• LA Knight goes over (Theory retains the week later on SD against Escobar, Knight/Theory feud setup)

A terrible card for a PLE. One of the worst in recent times

The only 3 matches worth a dam are Seth vs Finn, Rousey vs Shayna and Paul vs Riccochet

Roman vs Jey is just a foregone conclusion at this point. Jey isnt worthy of the match either. Womens triple threat is the worst womens match they could have come up with. Gunther vs McIntyre is a toilet break, Cody vs Brock is too overdone. Battle Royal will be a Slim Jim turdfest

No Dom Dom, Rhea, Priest, Zayn, Becky is just leaving too much of your top performers on the sidelines im afraid. Backlash had a better card and set of matches then this

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

The dumb ass thing about the Slim Jim Battle Royal is they are doing it for the advertisement potential of it all but then they put said advertisement idea in the dumbest and least liked match of the night. The obvious route here was to put a stipulation to Cody vs Brock around Slim Jim and have Brock Lesnar be the face/promoter of it all. Just make it a Street fight, have Brock obliterate Cody but give Cody the win on the idea he overcomes that and turns the tables

I mean a kendo stick that looks like a Slim Jim Sausage writes itself id have thought

I love it

I presume the Women's MITB is more likely to be used on this show, rather than the Men's, because it would seem odd to do a double cash in (although it would make for a more memorable moment).

On SmackDown Friday, announcer Micheal Cole explained the rules of the MMA rules between Ronda Rousey and Shayna Baszler for Saturday’s SummerSlam match. The stipulation are that whoever passes out, submits, or is knocked out first will be declared the winner of the match.

Kairi Sane

HBK has done such a good job with Logan Paul.

 

[Ry009]

Great opener and good to see Logan finally get a win.

 

[Raveneyes]

Great opener and good to see Logan finally get a win.

Agreed, and agreed.

 

[Sippa]

I am so impressed with Logan Paul .. he’s been wrestling for all of a minute and he is fantastic and his character work is great .. for one of the biggest stars in the world he could just come in for short appearances and gimmick matches but he goes 100% and takes big bumps and really respects the business .. big fan

 

[Ry009]

Great match and great finish! Good way to end the trilogy.

Now hurry up and get him over to SmackDown to end the Bloodline stuff.

 

[ptrg]

Steel steps aren't a DQ?

 

[Biggie]

Great match and great finish! Good way to end the trilogy.

Yep enjoyed that

Good booking and now he can chase that Big Belt

 

[Nicho50]

Awesome match between Cody and Brock.

 

[Raveneyes]

Great match and great finish! Good way to end the trilogy.

Now hurry up and get him over to SmackDown to end the Bloodline stuff.

Surely he goes after the big gold belt now. Some Judgement Day/Rollins mish-mash.

As for the Bloodline. Can you smell what's cooking? Might get an electrifying finish to the PPV.

Judgement Day stuff is exactly why he should go over to SmackDown. Owens and Sami are Raw talent as well.

After Jey, what's left for Roman? Even doing a part time schedule not much left to stretch out to Mania.

If they're bringing Rock back to face Roman at Mania, it doesn't need the title. Have Roman drop it to Cody before then.

 

[CasuallyDressed]

Who has won the matches so far?

 

[Ry009]

Who has won the matches so far?

Logan Paul, Cody and LA Knight.

 

[Nicho50]

Yeah

 

[Ry009]

Match was a about as expected, meaningless and forgetful other than giving LA Knight a nice moment.
