Chris deaton

Predictable but amazing. Glad solo didn’t turn and join bloodline. Him running it back legit had me laughing and I was at work watching it lol

Nick Kowal

Broadly fine...HIAC didn't seem to make a difference in the Brick/Oba feud, but at least Oli was wrong.

Anthony Velasquez

It was fine imo wasnt great it wasnt bad just fine but SummerSlam should be better than fine its one of their biggest shows of the yr

Victor Oceguera

I had a lot of hope for Cody and punk expecting one of them to turn heel and then wwe picked the least interesting option because they’re bad at booking and they don’t care

Lj F

That was a decent Saturday Night Main Event! I hope summerslam is great though! WWE really needs a show that isn't just good, because just good is a high bar by their standards nowadays Seriously though, it was fun but also could have been an email

Lewis Kelly

Decent first night show with some fun moments. Really happy for Nick Aldis he certainly did not disappoint. The bella twins are rubbish (the most obvious garbage heel turn in history) Oba Femi is the man give him the World Heavyweight Championship immediately. CM Punk has evolved into his final form of CM Funk. Great passing of the torch to end the first night. The patreon hangout was great fun thank you guys.

Matt Adams

Very mixed show! Womens match was pretty good, six man tag was ok, womens six man was NOT GOOD, I didnt think the world title match was a good as they were pushing it to be. I did enjoy it, but wasn't great. The main event was AWESOME!

Benn Waller

Aldis was the highlight of the show & rest ok really. The amount of bleeps on the MGK & Fred Durst song before & after every ad break made me laugh though. Hopefully night 2 delivers

Don

Show was a lot better than I expected considering the build. Although predictable, the right people won. Can't decide who's the bigger dork of the night: Jacob Fatu for being Bam! Nonfactor or Cody for his goofy mask based on the rubbish looking movie. I believe that The Judgement Day turned face this past Raw. By shutting down the concert, they saved everyone watching. They're real heroes. Also, Oli might want to look at Tulum and Villadolid when going to Cancun. I've heard a lot of good things about Tulum

KidCutty

This was a good night of wrestling imo. My son and I had a blast watching it 👍🏿 seems like the Patreons (some begrudgingly) thought it was good too 😂👍🏿

stephen costa

Was hoping for more returns.... Bella turning was no surprise . Bellas vs paige and aj lee next

Jeremiah Culver

Was good. Not great, but compared to other Night Ones it was pretty high up there. Wish the HIAC stip had more of a use in the match rather than just the added drama of “Brock’s never lost one” Not looking forward to Nikki vs Paige. Oh man. (Also curious, for my chocolate ratio, what was the percentage of wrestling in this shows compared to ads?)

Jo M

Think switching around the last two matches would have lifted it a bit more. Oba v Lesnar didn’t need to be HITC, and the exposed boards spot didn’t add enough to justify there not being able to be any other matches after it. All that being said even the worst match was still fine and the balance between wrestling against adverts felt a lot less egregious than mania.

Flame4506

I hate that WWE reminded me that they can put on a really good show if they want to. Really makes Wreslemania 42 look even worse in hindsight. My only complaints about the show was Brock and Oba wasn’t longer and Brie Bella hurting her arm that might have messed with the 6 woman tag. I’d give the show 4/5. Hope night 2 can match or beat that

Brett A

We are never getting to the fireworks factory. We have Brock end the night saying Oba is the future, but it followed a match that had Randy Orton return. If Oba doesnt challenge roman on monday then Im done with the weekly show till mania season. I dont want to relive 10-15 years ago.

Slayer65

I feel like the oba and Brock match just idk finished too quick? I get it was passing of the torch but if Brock isn’t retired then Punk and Cody really should have been the main event.

Cody

I think Brie has been really good since coming back, so the possible injury is unfortunate. But apart from that and the Cody Punk match (which I thought never hit that high gear) it was a surprisingly pretty good show considering I wasn’t originally invested in any of it.

NerfPablo

Love Solo as a baby face. Running Jey’s music mid match was great. Unfortunately I think him and LA Knight will be a Frankenstein team and face the MFTs for the tag titles

Jonathan Donath

Watching WWE shows really make me appreciate AEW’s action, story telling, and ad free PPV’s. Overall the show was fine, Liv/Io was the highlight, Brock seems very “not retired” to me. Keeping the door open for a few more paydays, would be shocked if he’s not in Saudi.

Andy R

Overall thought it was a decent show but for what is your 2nd (maybe 1st this year with SaudiMania) biggest show, is decent what should be happening? Curious to see what is next for Oba as still a long wait till Mania

Dylan Reeder

I came into this show thinking it would be a straight 5/10 and I still don’t have high hopes for night two, but night one sure was entertaining. Also had a lot of fun watching along with you guys. The only low spot for me was the six women tag and I think that’s because Brie hurt her shoulder and they had to go home early or something like that. The whole match was off after she got hurt. Randy Orton‘s return and the tombstone spot in the hell in a cell were my two favorite parts. Brock passing the torch was really nice as well. Overall best PLE of 2026 as long as night two is HALFWAY decent.

Mohammed Albanai

Cody Rhodes appearing with the street fighter tie in was great. That is an example of how to use advertising to enhance the show instead of distract from it. AEW does it as well with DC inspired gear or entrances and i hope to see it more. The matches were given time and were good, especially iyo vs Liv was a highlight. Also Brock vs oba while there was no blood it still felt brutal

Chris Harrison

I am not sure what was more upsetting the face Oba made at the end of the show or Luke’s realisation Dominos had forgotten the Chicken Kickers! Solid show worth staying up for and Summerslam wasn’t too shabby either JAM THAT JAM.

Moses

Overall,I really enjoyed Summerslam, Punk and Cody was a great first match ahead of (hopefully) rematch at SaudiMania. Iyo and Liv was a lot better than I thought it would be and really benefited from going on first. And Oba-Brock was everything it needed to be and puts Oba in the perfect position to be in the Title picture ASAP.

Mr. Grimes

Show was fine. Liv retaining was a bummer, glad the winners of the trios matches won, Gunther vs Aldis was fun if predictable, WWE title match was good, and the cell match didn't need to be a cell match. I would have rather seen Brock run back his awesome Last Man Standing match he had with Roman back in 2022. But hey, for the first time in a long time I finished watching a WWE show and felt like it was fine, rather than feeling disappointed. Looking forward to hanging with you guys again tomorrow, I'm still proud of you Oli, jam that jam.

AMZ2

It’s a decent show, I just don’t get why the Bellas are still on TV. People like Dan on the livestream always justify their barely mediocre “wrestling”, but women’s wrestling has grown so far from that era and the Bellas don’t bring anything new. Another heel turn that will produce an awful match. At least Fatal Influence won. Great livestream boys.

Wayne Rogers

A few things bugged me, I didn't want Liv to retain, it made a joke of the whole queen of the ring tournament, the Bellas turning on Paige was something that Stevie Wonder could have seen coming and Luke hit the nail on the head when he said the main event didn't need to be a hell in a cell. The cell was only used to bounce someone off a couple times, could have easily done that on the barricade and made it a street fight. Apart from that, it was an alright show.

FJC Racing

Liv/Iyo was great in the ring despite me not caring, 6 man tag was fun, Aldis looked great in a good match, Brie Bella was there, Punk/Cody was good, and Brock/Oba was… fine, but needed 10 more minutes to pack that extra punch. It felt flat. However, you can’t say this wasn’t a good night 1 show. Night 2, I think that’s where the true headache comes in

KayfabeKyle

Enjoyed night 1, didnt like the ending of Cody/Punk, think they will go down the Punk needs to prove himself route down the line, do you think Seth/Roman will be the better of the 2 matches ? P.S push babyface Solo to the moon

Wahab Fares

Can’t wait for Oba’s promo where he says the world champion’s too busy, so he’s issuing an open challenge… and Brock answers it in the third week to do another trilogy. Saudi WrestleMania baby WOOOOO In all seriousness, do you think considering Punk/Cody wasn’t the main event then they should’ve included Sami in the match to make it a 3 way?

Sam Sullivan

WWE seems to be in a really weird situation right now where their under and midcards are really good, and their main event scene is full of utter rubbish. Cody Vs Punk was a 30 minute botchfest that only needed 15 at most, and once again Cody cannot lose cleanly. HiaC was better, but the cell felt mostly unnecessary and didn't really play a part in the match

Sam Hedges

No doubt that most of these will be about the main event, i for sure loved it. Lets be honest here people, a near 50 year old Brock Lesnar is not going to do a 30 minute classic Nick Aldis coming out to Oasis, Solo Sikoa as a whole & the Punk & Cody match was match of the night by far, loved it! And now back to our regularly scheduled mediocrity with night 2

Daniel Dawson

I watched this week's dynamite episode a couple of hours before summerslam and have come away having enjoyed an episode of TV more than night 1 of a big 4 show. Having said that, Solo's comedy is really growing on me, Nick Aldis deserves all of the praise in the world, and that main event was awesome. Really nice to see brock pay homage to taker in that match, and assuming that is his retirement match, he went out with a banger

Brody Allsep

Thought Iyo was immune, but nope just slow played. As well as Giulia getting squashed on Smackdown, more evident than ever that WWE doesn't care about Japanese wrestlers. Queen of the Ring? First with the Summerslam title shot to lose. First Royal Rumble winner Asuka? Fed her and her streak to Charlotte and never won at Mania. Don't need to explain Kairi. At least the women have had World Champions. The closest the men have had are unrecognized in Antonio Inoki and not actually Japanese in Yokozuna, and that ain't changing any time soon.

Joofy Juice

Honestly a solid show I enjoyed all the matches. But still a 6/10 I would’ve liked to see a little color in the cell and it sucks brie got hurt, really thru the groove off to a match that was already going to be rough. Excited Randy is back and I like getting Cody away from the title for a bit. Match of the night was Aldis vs Gunther for me really hope we see aldis again!!! Also when saying my name it is pronounced Who-Fee, my nickname my whole life has been Juvie Juice from Juventud my Hispanic side gave it to me and my white side started saying Who-Fee and it became Joofy rather than Juvie

Tom Garrett

I'm very happy for Nick Aldis. Having said that - The ESPN/TKO influence has been horrible for the product. Major PLEs border on unwatchable, with 20-30 minutes between matches at times. This is barely "wrestling-SCENTED" content at this point.

Seth Colegrove

This was a better show than I expected, it wasn't amazing but above average. Solo was definitely my favorite thing on Night 1. I'm glad Hell in a Cell became basically a street fight, now that the cell has become sentient I would hate to see Oba being attacked by Cage Rights Activists for cruelty to the cells.

Sam Sullivan

I was keeping track: 85 minutes of wrestling, ads depends on what you count cause I included things like the Zuffa and Unreal ads, ads for other shows etc but it got to about 30 minutes

Charlie Wood

I felt like the main event was a match inside HIAC rather than a HIAC match if that makes sense. I feel like the only reason for the stip was to say that oba is the only person to beat lesnar inside HIAC for the next 10 years

oak_slaney

Enjoyed this show, bar the dull six woman tag. Still think it’s criminal that Jacy Jayne is stuck doing this given that crazy heat she got on her main roster debut. WWE need to realise that not capitalising on someone being over just cools them off quite quickly, and I hope they learn from the mistakes with Bron, even Ilya and Carmelo, and now Jacy too.

James9909

It was good. Most matches were good. Wish they would bring back video packages. Also, they need to let more than one match go over 15 mins. You guys need to do a best/worst hell in a cell matches TLC episode.

Morgan Leggett

I wasn't planning on staying up for the show but between you boys doing a hang out and that incredible Turbo Go Home Show I decided to tune in. My overall thought was "It wasn't bad" which isn't a great review but considering where WWE have been at lately I guess its a positive one. Brock and Oba was disappointing and didn't need the Cell gimmick, Cody and Punk was good but the finish was lame but neither of them were actively infuriating or stupid which is a sign of progress.

lAsEr- hybird

Pretty good. Hope we get good stuff out the other side of it

Brxdley.h

i’ve never been a lesnar fan, and even less so with everything that came out in the lawsuit (even stopped watching last year at summerslam when he returned for a solid few months - cheers wrestletalk boys for keeping me updated in those months!). and the match was lacklustre and definitely underwhelming. But him putting over Femi as the “future” and establishing himself as the “past” was a great creative decision. WWE is stuck in a limbo of having some of the absolute best talent, but sidelining them for stale older guys. Cody, Punk, Orton, Roman, Seth. They don’t build anyone new - they get fed new guys and then wonder why they don’t get over. I hope the WWE realises their roster has some of the best wrestlers and start to give them a chance. I’d love each “past” wrestler to find a new “present” replacement Who would yall pick to be the future to the past of Cody, Roman, Orton (or A N Other? )

Lex Sells Merch

Very curious if this will pass the chocolate test. For me Iyo and Liv was the best match of the night. Happy FI won and then laughed when I called Bella’s turning on Paige. Couldn’t care less about the old man division and never want to see lesbore on my screen ever again. Good riddance

Cheseree

I thought the show actually had good pacing and was a pretty easy watch. I did not have it on my bingo card that HIAC, although the right result, would be one of the worst matches of the night. With Oba's bad Hulk Hogan style selling, the lack of blood and the awkward ending I left asking myself why did this need to be in a cage or close the show?

Raymond Mc Mahon

Personally having not watched since The chamber only keeping up through you guys night one was partly a nice surprise in quality as well as some disappointment in seeing some favourites drop out of the card

Dev King

Recently I’ve been negative about WWE, so today I’ll just speak the positives, Solo is the greatest baby face of all time. And seeing nick aldis entrance brought me back to like 11-12 year old me watching Magnus in TNA i legitimately teared up, he genuinely looked really good in the ring and honestly I would prefer he returns to full tine rather than be a GM also thank you WWE for giving Oba the freakin win

Matt

I thought the entire show was perfectly three stars across the board. Nothing wow’d me (except Solo running it back), nothing annoyed me. It was all just fine, and that’s the problem

Mat

Recast “The Odyssey” with wrestlers

rhuds 06

Perfectly fine show nothing overly good but nothing particularly bad aldis Gunther my match of the night very disappointed with oba Brock didn't need the cell at all for the match they had felt like it had another 10-15 mins in it

Kieran Whitton

Liv vs Iyo was great and i’m not seeing too many people talking about it. Match of the night for me

Scott Adams

Just meh. Nothing that made me mad, nothing that stood out to me. I’m glad Oba won and it wasn’t the worst cell match ever, but it wasn’t that memorable as a match.

Ahmed Abdelhameed

It feels like Randy’s primary motivation for turning on Cody was that he was obsessed with winning another world title. He even went as far as attacking Cody after their mania match and holding up the title. I’m not entirely sure what the motivation would be to screw Cody over now, he doesn’t have what Randy wants. Perhaps there is a RKO Punk match in the cards somewhere towards the end of the year. Or maybe, and this is my hope, they build a non title feud between the two based on their long and layered history together like they should’ve done for their Wrestlemania match. With Randy and seemingly KO back after this Summerslam weekend ends, the WWE title picture looks fantastic. I wonder how Drew fits into all of it, maybe he goes to RAW?

Scott Pirrie

Why the fuck was it hell in a cell????? Oba threw Brock in to the cage wall once and then through a table leaned against it (which I would argue is table impact, not cage). Should’ve just been a street fight/no dq but that’s not a big enough stipulation for Brock’s “retirement” match

CDE

It was a solid show, nothing was bad but everything felt predictable. Why tell the iyo hurt leg story if your gonna just give that angle to a men’s match on the card? HHH loves long term storytelling and yet can’t work that out over 4 weeks? Aldis gunther was good, as was six man tag, solo is great. The 6 women tag was a poor match but a great show for how much women’s wrestling has improved in a decade! The Bella’s and Paige looked out of their depth against fatal influence. Cody punk was best match by far, hope Cody vs Randy can now be done right and keeps Cody away from the belt for a few months. OBA is a a star, I look forward to his run on turbo in 2028!

Mr. Samuel Scratch

Seriously, did Trips pitch a "German Heritage" character that Gunther shot down? Or is he just pissy that 'the internet' guessed his brilliant booking plan?

Troy

Had little exception from the night to be pleasantly surprised. Really loved that Cody and Punk match. Brock sure does like Oba the way he puts him over

Lily Petal

Loved the watch a long with all of WT! That alone saved the evening for me! Ok, on to the matches. Iyo should have won. Full stop. 6 man tag match, thanks goodness for Solo! Pew pew! 6 women tag match, I don't care what Dan says, why are there still Divas wrestling? Gunther vs Aldis, I am so happy for Aldis! Cody vs Punk, good match but so help me if this leads to another Cody/Orton/McAfee trainwreck I will scream! Oba vs Brock, HHH doesn't care and is bad at booking but at least he didn't screw this up and Oba won! Overall 6/10. Compared to night 1 of WM, 9/10! *deep breath* Bring on night 2.

“JVF” Jack VanFleet

I felt that Cody and Punk had negative ring chemistry. I spent the first 10 minutes more interested in figuring out if Punk had a wet spot on his pants.

PineJohn

I hope Oba gets actually pushed to the main event after tonight, because I still don't see how he benefited from having 2 more matches against Brock instead of just going straight to facing the champion

Jon

That show would’ve been 10x better if Brock and Oba just opened the show and wasn’t inside the cell it was just like a street fight or something. I understand they tore the ring up but it’s WWE you could easily replace the mat and the padding in a commercial break. If Brock wasn’t gonna retire to end the show I don’t know why it went on last.

Jon Ott

The show was fine. It’s starting to feel like these are UFC cards. The main events get you to watch and the undercard is mostly skippable but can have a few gems. I think most gave stated you could do one night, retool the card a bit and have a banger show but alas…..shareholder needs. Side note: if you paid to have your name on the ring and Brock tore it up do you have a legal basis to get your money back?

Skip

After the liv/iyo match, I was like.. that was great, probably match of the night. It was for sure the match of the night. 6 man tag watch was entertaining but not great. Aldis/ gunter was predictable, Bella matches are trash, I don't watch them. Punk and cody was pretty good, lame ending. Let someone win clean ffs. Oba and lesner needed another 5-10 minutes.

Jaws 24

Given all the hate for going for tonight show, The show turned out better than I thought it would be.

KidCutty

Well you know what they say about assuming 😏😂 come on man is that really all you got outta that match?

Brandon

eh, it was a perfectly fine 6/10 right above average.

TLC

Cody and punk wasn’t as good as I thought it would be. I honestly fell asleep in the beginning from how slow they felt like they were moving. My wife woke me up to tell me punk botched a moonsault and for some reason that’s when the match gotten better 🤣

Brett A

Star power. more ppl know the bellas than Guilia. we never going anywhere cause they refuse to make new stars

Brett A

Wish wrestling fans just supported the wrestlers instead of hating the creative.

Brett A

not caring is the thing. WWE treats its matches like UFC, except ufc is a real fight and thats why they dont need storylines

Andrew the Last Airbender

I know that you guys(and a lot of others if we’re being honest) wanted more for Gunther, but Aldis getting a match at SunmerSlam is so goddamn cool. I’m genuinely happy for him.

Kitty Kat

Aldis and Gunther was going to be at lest good so I wasn't surprised by that , but the sleeper hit for me was the 6 man tag. I'm really loving this Solo Sikoa face turn! I kind of hate to admit it, but I laughed when he "ran it back" It makes me want to see Knight and Solo as a tag team. The Sikoa Knights I think has a nice ring to it. My most disappointing match was CM Punk VS. Cody Rhodes. It felt like it never really got started for me. Cody needs something to freshen his character up. He doesn't have to go heel, just something! I'm so bored of him.

Bryson Suggs

Apart from the never ending sponsorships and ads that we all take as normal during our WWE PLE’s unfortunately. The one thing I think would make everything a little more palatable would be video packages. I’m not saying I need a 3 minute package for the Bella’s and Paige vs Fatal Attraction but the fact that the only package we got for Cody vs Punk was a lame ass Street Fighter ad is quite frankly disrespectful. Keep the ads if you have to have them for, you know, shareholders and capitalism, but at least add 15 minutes to the show by adding a couple packages here and there. That is all, decent show overall I guess.

Yeetus Skeetus

I cant believe I'm going to say this, Solo Sikoa was the best uso all along. His gimmick is just stealing and making fun of other people's taunts and its funny every time.

Faheem_786

The matches were enjoyable for the most part. I think Liv and Iyo had a good match to start things off. The 6 man match was clunky in parts mostly down to the Usos going through the motions. Solo is fun isn't he? Watching Nick Aldis wrestle was so cool and he came out to Oasis! He looked great too it gave me Nigel McGuiness vibes from Wembley. The Bellas match? I switched it off when Brie did the yes kicks and I caught the end of the heel turn when I came back. I didn't see that coming, said nobody. Punk and Cody had good psychology and was a bit of a throwback which I didn't mind. Can someone tell Phil to never try a moonsault again? I get you're selling your knee but it's not actually injured. Dude just fell backwards instead of jumping and nearly landed knee first on Cody's head. Brock vs Oba was fun once the bell rang it just took an eternity to start. There's too much filler on WWE shows now, which is why I don't watch live. I start watching late and switch off when I'm not interested so I can skip the crap in between. I think WWE need to get out of their own way and put Oba in the title picture now instead of waiting till Saudi Mania because they've almost ruined his push once already.

James Markin

It seems to be a tradition now that SummerSlam is better than Mania. But that's not saying much. There was alot of good matches but they went with the safest outcomes I think.

kyle McAllister

Decent show. Nothing blew me away, but nothing was a disappointment. Brock’s speech at the end was weird. I thought he was giving Oba Paul Haymen at first. All in all, *best John Cena voice* fine show.

Zack Ryder’s Wheelchair

I was in attendance, and this crowd was not good. No one could really get any chants going, or if they did, it was off beat and out of sync with the other side of the crowd and sounded awful. The card as a whole felt disappointing. The Bella’s heel turn didn’t do anything for me, Randy interfering was interesting but I question if they did that for the “moment” or they actually have some follow up, and the main event match underdelivered on what a Hell in a Cell match should be. It was to short and everything they did could have been achieved as a “street fight/No DQ/Extreme Rules” match, nothing they did screamed to me, “This HAS to be a Hell in a Cell”Hopefully Night 2 is better

Peter Siddorn

This was a mid 2010's PPV played out in 2026! The in-ring was good, and all the booking around it is just bland

Brent

Positives - Liv can actually win without late interference from Judgment Day - Solo being Solo and doesn't betray LA Knight and Royce Keys - Fatal Influence winning - Aldis/Gunther best match of the night - Cody's Guile inspired headgear - Brock passing the torch to Oba Negatives - Wade trying to defend Liv's lack of defenses as "The women's locker room was all afraid of Liv and didn't want to challenge her." - Liv retaining, I hope there's something planned or another 3 months will go by without a defense - Randy Orton returning so WWE didn't have to turn either Punk or Cody heel is so pathetic - Brock vs Oba 3 was the least Hell in the Cell ever Night 1 was okay. The Bellas turning on Paige was exactly predicted by nearly everyone. I never bought how Nikki called Paige her sister where Paige represented to me as the anti-Bella.

Brent

If AEW ring crews can clean up the ring after 2-3 hardcore matches in a single PPV, WWE can to.

Jon

I agree. I think this may be a little different because they tore the actually matt apart but I still think you can just have another matt and get it done in like 2 minutes.

Brent

I watched Night 1 after it was over. Netflix had the time to be 190 minutes so it's about 45% wrestling if there was 85 minutes of wrestling.

Brent

Love the User Name.

Frank

That show was like going out for a Chinese meal and ordering sweet and sour pork. Enjoyable because you've had it before and you know what it is but you never really pushed yourself to find a new favourite for next time.

JJ Bittenbinder

I desperately hoped Cody'd turn heel because MY GOD DOES THIS COMPANY NEED SOMETHING INTERESTING but instead they went back to generic bland BORING babyface Cody VS cool heel Orton I can already imagine how this feud is gonna go. Get ready for Cody to show some "attitude" and scream ENOUGH God I am SOOOOOO SICK of this dude

Jack McEwen-Quy

Predictions for who helps out Paige? I want it to be Jordynne Grace because I miss her. You could turn Blake Monroe Babyface and have a brawling bird cos they're both brits init!!!

Homerstar

It will be AJ Lee because nostalgia.

Vic Cutting

Better show than I expected: 6/10

Kevin Fleuriot

It was consistently solid throughout the night, Punk and Cody had the better match overall. But moment of the night was definitely Solo running it back. Although I don't think I'm ready for a Paige vs Bella feud in the big 2026. Might as well bring back the fake tan storyline while you're at it.

Florian Groß

Not too great, but not bad either. A resoundingly okay show. Liv retaining clean isn't the right decision in my opinion - also no idea how her title picture goes on from here. Hell in a Cell was fun (and thank god they didn't fuck it up by having Brock win), Aldis looked great and I really want to see more of him. And Solo is just a precious gem that needs to be protected at all costs!

Miki Kiernan

Decent show and I enjoyed most of it, and I dont know if it cos I was working all day into it but oba brock was underwhelming for me, bar a couple of small spots there was no need for it to be hell inna cell, it would have just been a no dq match, overall though decent night one

paul young

I wonder if punk is having flashbacks to his 434 day run. Gets the WWE Title and can't even main event one of the nights or a summerslam. Also, Luke as somebody who doesn't like gavin and stacey, you used the same joke about motorway services with heston being terrible. Made me chuckle.

Daniel James Baker

Disappointed with the Cody punk match, I thought Iyo and Livs match was so short it might as well have been 2 minutes.. surprised Jey took the pin from a BFT, decent tag match! Aldis coming out to oasis was great choice, enjoyed his match thoroughly and hope he does more

Gregg Murphy

Lacklustre hell in a cell, Cody punk mid, and my god the amount of ads. 2.5 star match

Josh F

I questioned them using the HiTC stipulation when they announced it and feel I was right. Why did this need to be a Cell match when the cell only got used once. This could have been any street fight/ no DQ match and achieved the same end goal. Still thought the match was great and relieved Oba won. Just didn’t think the cell was necessary

Joe Gleeson

The blood splatter on the ring mat was really distracting. I kept thinking someone had been busted open

KidCutty

EXACTLY! Like Bruh you dont get no cool points for hate watching a show 😂

KidCutty

You say this the night Oba main events over Cody and CM Punk hunh 😏 Stop being disingenuous jist because u didnt like the outcome of a match 😒

Dr Jiff

Cody and Punk was the worst match in the card and really not looking forward to another tedious Roman match tonight....oh can someone help me out, what the actual fuck is a Lemon Pepper Stepper?!

james knight

Oliver davies, on June 19th 2026 a promise was made. I was told that for all wwe and aew ppvs the numbers would be crunched, and I would be told if I've watched a pro wrestling show or a penguin bar. There have been THREE ppvs since then (not including tonight). HAVE I BEEN WATCHING WRESTLING OR PENGUINS!?!?!?

Shae

Bellas vs Paige and co. Not interested. Punk as champion. Not interested. Randy costing Cody even worst. Let it end. Obama winning. Interested Praises to Solo for keeping me entertained. I assumed and an ass was made of me. Due to not knowing how to book a right now rivalry, everything needs = to be continued from wwe 2k26 hhh it was a poor opening. Remember giants work well with cruisers etc etc lmao

James Boulton

With the Hell in the Cell, I feel the WWE fundamentally misunderstand the point of a cage match. Its supposed to feel claustrophobic. It's supposed to feel uncomfortable. These massive tall hell in a cells are just too big. Plus you can't jump off them!

ATallstalls

I enjoyed the show and I didn't think I was going to maybe because I didn't watch it live and could fast forward parts I enjoyed oba winning and the punk cody match even if the ending was a little flat and I don't care about the Bella's drama but I genuinely enjoyed everything else but my star of the show is definitely solo sikoa and I hope it continues 4 out of 5

Darren Lloyd

This was a mid show for something that everyone is saying was the best night of the 2

G the B (Greg the Bastard)

Better show than I expected but still only just above average! Cody v Punk was great, feel like a 2nd match down the line could be even better. Oba v Brock was better than I was expecting. Oba no selling the 3 German suplexes and the F5s was awesome. Really looking forward to Chad v Penta tonight, if they are given time it could steal the show

Daniel Linden

While it was a solid enough show, with the exception of Cody/Punk the matches still felt really short. With the return of the "We'll be right back messages" is this just another wrestling flavoured show?

Robbie Kelly

Surprised to see how polarising Cody vs Punk has been. I thought it was a really good match (not great). I was a lot more underwhelmed by Oba vs Brock. The Hell in a Cell was basically Bam!, non-factor. Could've been a No Holds Barred match for how little violence we got, which was promised.

Ben Cotton

Decent show imo, and by modern WWE standards it was a HISTORIC CLASSIC (skipped all the adverts and FanaticsFest twaddle). Jordynne Grace to win the Women’s Turbo Championship ladder match on night 2.

I’ve just finished watching it and I can’t remember anything that happened in either of the women’s matches. I assume the Bella’s are back to being heels and the Judgement Dorks beat Iyo Sky again because WWE haven’t got any other ideas. Solo Sikoa made the Usos look like goofy idiots. I enjoyed Punk/Cody, despite a couple of less-than-clean spots. It seemed like they were telling a similar old man Punk story to Mania, which is fine but the Orton interference spoiled it a little, especially with the amount of time that elapsed until Punk capitalised. Oba/Brock did what it needed to but the Cell didn’t add anything to the match. Nice of Brock to verbally put Oba over as the future at the end while not officially saying “I retire.”Bring on Roman vs Brock 37 (in a row?!) at Saudi Mania as the co-main event with Rock vs Undertaker because money.

I came to hate watch cause WWE has been unwatchable for me, however this show actually let the talent go and it was nice, very wwe style but it felt like the closest to a good show wwe has put on, if there is actually storytelling follow up and be able to push talent until the next big show. It hasn't brought me back but the action was alright.

Chris Jones

The downwards turn of Gunther has got to the point he’s retiring Managers? What next, gonna start retiring Referees?

Khalid Tirawi

On a note about the Oba vs Lesnar not needing to be hell in a cell, they only did it I think so they can say Oba is the only one to defeat Brock inside of one. Granted he only had hell in a cell matches twice prior but still. They kept mentioning it, so I think that's the real reason for it.

Smackdowns the better show, yet you guys review Raw and rarely talk about Smackdown. 😭
