U can’t see me

Cena calls out Roman reigns at Summerslam while stupid what chants find their way into the show. WWE blanked out asshole when Cena called Roman one but Cena still dropped some knowledge about acknowledgement. John Cena even called out himself on some things, he looks great but he needs mature gear.

Styles[c] & Omos[c] vs Vikings Raiders & Riddle

I’m guessing Riddle is still on course to be one of the next big stars because he gets the rub from Cena before his match. The Lakers gear was a nice touch by the original bro. John Morrison America’s moist wanted shirt is as unique as his offense. The good guys win a good opening match.

Elias vs Ryker

WWE is super clueless sometimes, they continue to book Ryker as a face. Ryker is booed like crazy but the ensuing match is not. It’s a Symphony of destruction that the crowd actually got into after a little while. The crowd even chanted for Ryker to use the cello. Falls count anywhere was a great call and Ryker had a good match to get over in, let’s see if it holds.

A big challenge

Keith Lee answers the open challenge set out by the champion. Lee loses clean in front of the home crowd. Goldberg’s music hits after the win, Bobby Lashley clearly says fuck twice. Crowd loves Goldberg, even chants his name, no boos; seems like everyone sitting at home was wrong about whether or not the audience wanted to see the legend again.

Doomsday is here

Jeff Hardy vs Karrion Kross

Hated Scarlett wasn’t with him but ya know she is a crutch and its ok for him to be without her especially in his main roster debut. WWE is trying some things out and I’m okay with that.

Karrion Kross, NXT champion suffers his first lost at the hands of a legend, that’s the start of a great story and a good way to hand Kross a loss without actually hurting him.

A royal pain

Earlier Charlotte addressed the crowd, claiming she could beat Rhea Ripley whenever. Rhea answers Charlotte’s challenge but Charlotte can’t beat Rhea and walks off with the title. When Ripley chases her down, she is knocked down with the title. Rhea gets up and gets revenge, that’s when Nikki A.S.H. seized the opportunity to become champion!
