LUKE: The best ones will be read out on the WrestleTalk Podcast.

Comments

Cody

Featured the famous beloved SHIELD CHAIR!!!! But ALSO Michael Cole acknowledged that one of the minihausens is El Torito sooooo, 5 stars no notes.

Mohammed Albanai

Perfect night of wrestling, it's my PLE of the year.

Matthew Long

It’s turbin time with the turBros

Rando_Scot

The main event was the only match all weekend that was given breathing room to grow and allowed to have a third act. Unfortunately, the third act was nothing we have not seen before, too many times.

MysteriousAlgae

I generally really enjoyed that ladder match and am thrilled that Chelsea won, but watching each woman take turns to stumble in an empty ring so they could copy/paste the exact same spot is everything wrong with the women's division right now, no unique vision, just waiting to take their turn doing the exact same thing

Stacy Queen

The double fake out for Chelsea Green’s win got me good, I’m beyond happy that she has gotten this moment that she undoubtedly deserves.

Nick Kowal

CHELSEA GREE IS THE GREATEST WRESTLER OF ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLL TIME! but Roman had another 30 minute snoozefest because he's the most boring wrestler on the roster. 6/10 show

Chris deaton

Seeing my favorite wrestler of today KO return thinking he may never get to again had me a little teary eyed not gonna lie especially after seeing a couple people in the crowd then huggin Sami. And I don’t care if it is just “interim” Chelsea green deserves to be champion.

Harry Burke

I hope we can draw a line under the Shield nostalgia bait now. They've got it out of their system, time to start telling a story that isn't 14 years old now.

Morgan Leggett

Chelsea winning was a great moment but it feels like a faux push to say "See we do listen to fans" when essentially all she's done is win a No.1 Contenders match. Even so, I trust Chelsea to do something fun and interesting with it!

darth Jmarks

Fellow Turbro here. I think the Seth Roman match was eh fine but I did enjoy the story from the beginning of Seth’s entrance of shedding this shield drama. Everything else was to short WWE matches are to short AEWs are to long can someone tell me if TNA matches are normal timed I can’t be bothered to watch myself to find out

Kevin Fleuriot

I don't care about anything else than KO returning and feuding with CM Punk. This is going to be incredible. I might have to rewatch Reigns vs Rollins because I felt a bit tired.

Wheels

I didn’t enjoy the build of Roman vs Seth but it was a good match. More importantly however, Kevin Owens is back!

Threads of Dragons

The show was overall fine. Generally the winners were correct and the booking broadly fine, however most matches left wanting more, while the Main Event suffered from being self indulgent, long and very slow.

Sam

The first 5 matches on the card were fun, but the main event really dragged, and the fisting angle was cringe. At least Turbo was good

Jo M

Please just let the Shield die now. Imagine if in 2003 they were still bringing up Demolition and had been every two years since 1991.

Brent

Overall I feel much better about Night 2 than Night 1. Positives - Kevin Owens returning and becoming the number 1 contender by pinning his best friend Sami - Sami becoming more conspiracy guy - Chelsea Green winning the Interim Title - Chad Gable winning the IC title Negatives - Trick Williams's push is dead - Chad Gable's celebration ruined by TKO when the Mug Dawg mascot made its appearance - Seth vs Roman was a mid waste of time

Michael Rivera Morales

Night 2 was so much better than night one kinda like Mania begs the question why do they have night one(apart from the obvious which is to charge and get more money)

Isac Gustafsson

Okay show. The matches were overall worse than night one but night two had better moments. Happy for Chelsea green great choice one of the highlights of the nights. Awesome seeing KO back happy for chad. Laughed my ass off when Baron Corbin won best thing on the show. And lastly fuck me Roman is a gigantic star but a mediocre wrestler who unfortunately has to much power in laying out his own matches they are to slow. Watch that Match in 3x speed and it might be exciting

Raymond Mc Mahon

I enjoyed lots of the night but that main event was rough super formulaic Reins match with outside of Dean References the same old Sheild References that have already been done into the ground

Brett A

I agree with Luke. Roman looked scrumptious coming out ready to fight with just the title. I have never been a Roman fan even as the OTC, but there is a world of difference between the feeling of Roman as champ and anyone else as champion. Rest in peace, Dean

Scott Adams

So, Reigns wants this reign to be different and not need outside interference? Why would he bother to work on forming a new Bloodline then?

James Markin

I fell asleep during the main event entrances and only woke up for the finish. I think that sums things up.

Andy_Ryuga

If Gunther was able to wrestle back to back matches, then Oba could’ve fought Brock and got his title match at SummerSlam.

Brett A

I think WWE was testing everyone of them as champion. see the fan reaction

KayfabeKyle

Owens return and Chelsea win, I think night 2 slightly edged night 1, If you had to make a 1 night Summerslam card from both nights matches, what would be your 6/7 matches ??

stephen costa

Better than night 1. Chelsea as champ yes please. Chad winning fantastic, corbin winning fantastic.... but KEVIN OWENS!!!! Amazing... was hoping for some sort of angle from the main event but nice homage to Dean. Great show danhousen match was a bit of fun...

Oliver

I genuinely don’t know where wwe as a company goes from here. Maybe this is just my view but I’m so disillusioned with the product. Very few of the stars get me excited and the the in-ring wrestling seems to be at an all-time low. Was the show bad? No, Was the show good? No, was it perfectly passable? Just about. Genuinely has anyone got any advice of how to get more enjoyment out of watching this company.

Sam Fonseca

I thought the show was broadly fine. But I have opposite thoughts of the main event. I was in the boat that felt Cody Vs Punk was a little underwhelming, I thought the match felt too slow for points and lost a bit of the crowd, and the finish with Randy I understand but I don’t particularly like. But if it’s the first in a series of matches between Punk and Cody, I’m fine with that. However with Roman and Rollins, I thought the match was okay, but bolstered by the fan reaction in the arena and commentary. But it needs to be the final match in the series/shield lore.

Flame4506

Yesterday I said that Night 1 was an 4/5. I'd like to change that to be a 3.25/5 for night 1 and a 4.5/5 for night 2. Loved 5 of the 6 matches today, the other being Trick/Corbin. KO returning was awesome, Chelsea winning the interim championship was a genuine shock, Gable and Penta had an awesome match, Danhausen and Dom was just long enough for a comedy match to be great. Roman and Seth was a master piece. Telling the story of two brothers fighting, knowing how each other operates. The chair coming out and then being discarded was a thing of beauty.

Jeremiah Young

Beyond the general give them more time etc this years SummerSlam was solid. Still doesn't need to be two nights.

JakeAndBake13

For the most part, the matches were just there. Nothing really hooked me. I was happy to see KO return. Trick/Corbin was a TV match at best. The ladder match was fine. Dom/Danhausen was a match that happened. Penta/Chad was on it's way to being my match of the night when it just ended abruptly, and could've easily gone another 3-5 minutes to get to that next gear. I liked Chad getting the win, but then they had to ruin it with the root beer sponsorship after the match. Seth/Roman was a slow, plodding match about Shield BS that I just don't care about because it feels like Roman has already avenged the "Shield chair" prior to this. Neither night of Summerslam really impressed me. 2.5/5 show overall.

Don

I prefer night 2 over night 1. Really happy for KO's return and wins by him, Chelsea, and Chad. Hopefully their stories go somewhere and not be just transitions in the latter's case. That being said, Baron and Roman' s matches felt way too long. I bet the main event pushed the night from being wrestling flavored into technically wrestling territory with how long it was. Overall I give the weekend a 7/10. Still can't believe the new turbros championship was crowned on turbo. That tag team straight up looked like the power rangers. You all wanted to know what a dog was? Look at Oli because he's in the doghouse for eating another pizza. When are we getting a watch-along with Dan for Who Framed Roger Rabbit?

Flame4506

Also, say what you will about sponsors for matches, they often do a good job matching them up. Wing Stop sponsoring this matcha and the steel chairs? Just good product placement

lAsEr- hybird

Im left feeling very frustrated and concerned for future of wwe. Im sick of ref bumps im sick of run ins and im sick of roman reigns standing. The right people can will all they want, the stories can be good but if theres only sub 15 minute matches its all for nothing. Wrestling flavoured is an overstatement especially considering the main event was more promo than match. Its like a disney tv show abt superheros with no superhero action

Sam Sullivan

Watched this with a group of friends and the opening match was the epitome of "we're so back - it's so over - we're so back". We all immediately thought of KO when Aldis came out, groaned at Gunther, then popped like mad when KO came out after, and again when he won. Unfortunately other than that I thought the show was mostly mediocre, with the only other highlight of Gable finally winning a belt being ruined by the weird root beer advertising slapped all over his celebration

Jacob Dickens

I’ve become a bit of a AAA convert, so it kinda sucks seeing the Mega Champion lose like this. AAA are growing an audience, as evidenced by the Vegas venue change. They’re on their way to the biggest match they can run between their two most over talents, Dom vs Grande at Triplemania. Now the champ just lost to a comedy wrestler in a silly gimmick match? I can’t help but have a bad taste in my mouth. It’s also at odds with how they present AAA in the match immediately after, where it’s now something to be taken super seriously as part of Gable’s story and redemption. If I’m a new viewer, how seriously can I take it when their world champion just lost to Danhausen? All that aside though, still very happy for Chelsea, Owens and Gable. On the whole, a cromulent night of wrestling.

Dylan Reeder

Night 2 was just as good as night one overall for me. Summerslam as a whole 3.5/5. Kevin Owens coming back is my biggest highlight and can’t wait for him to challenge for a title. Also CHELSEA WON!!!!

Dev King

I haven’t even finished the show yet (watching you’re hang out after the show, I was working till late today) the show has actually been decent, Chelsea winning, KO returning… but the main event is left and i see an hour left, i already know what Ads and shield chair references we get within this hour. Definitely won’t reach the penguin meter with the ads before the main event (should be 50 percent wrestling 10 percent ads) Math always > Pipebomb

Fin Brennan

Great night for the Canadians: Owens returning and Chelsea winning. Plus, Gable getting his moment. Main event was beyond predictable.

Juna92

Romans psychologist must be really proud of him. He managed to put away a chair! A real breakthrough

Dev King

My gosh the video package alone had at least 10 shield chair moments

TLC

KO return and Chelsea winning the championship made this a 10k outta 5 stars

PineJohn

Honestly, much better than night 1 imo. KO was a good surprise and Chelsea win was a nice moment, but I don't think it undoes the problem of short matches and how ridiculous it still is for me to have ad breaks on ples. We just need to wait if the weekly shows will actually be worth while watching until the next event in 2 months

Matt

I loved night 2 (outside of Corbin’s win). Shield match was such a satisfying conclusion. Chelsea’s win was so cathartic. Seeing KO back and healthy was a wonderful surprise. Chad’s W in his hometown concluding his story with luchadors. Easily the best show WWE has done on ESPN

JJ Bittenbinder

Smackdown has CM Punk, Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn, Gunther, Cody Rhodes & Randy Orton Raw has Roman Reigns (sometimes) & Oba Femi. The soonest they'll fight is MITB in October. Why would I care about Raw 😅? That show is in deeeeep trouble

Don

Forgot to add... Dork of the night were the Minihausens for the unnecessary climb spot that actually got in the way of Danhausen

Vectron44

When Roman threw away the chair, I swear I heard him say he was a Jedi, like his father before him...

Darren Lloyd

If i NEVER hear shield lore again it will be to soon. By 15 minutes Rollins and Reigns barley did anything while the other 5 matches were all over before that

Lex Sells Merch

Got black out drunk but Chelsea Green won! And that’s all I need to remember from tonight. She’s the best ever and deserves everything

Wahab Fares

Eh, okay I guess. It’s just sad to see all these great wrestlers on the card and yet I have zero emotional attachment to any of their work. Chelsea winning is cool but she’s just there to lose to Rhea, Gable and Penta had a good TV match, and the main event was a snooze fest. I might dislocate my shoulders with the amount of shrugs I’ve done after every WWE PLE match this year

Courtney Rose

The vision of the Mug Root Beer mascot with Chad Gable will haunt my nightmares.

JimboWipe

Its crazy that with two nights, alot of the complaints are "the matches were too short" Hopefully the card is thinner next year and they can do 5 matches with longer run times. Gable Penta and the Opener both felt like they could've used a lot more time

David Daul

Definitely enjoyed night 2 more. Overall I'm still pretty meh with WWE as a whole. Glad to have the patreon live hangouts with you guys! Happy for KO to be back as he's been missed so much. I can't wait to see the TAS...the Turbo After Summerslam

Ahmed Abdelhameed

I genuinely cannot wait for the Punk Owens program. Owens feels like the one guy on the roster who has the same shooty and cynical energy to match CM Punk on the mic, in a way where he just doesn’t care and will say whatever. Interested to see what’s next for the RAW main event scene. It’s pretty grim especially now that Seth is seemingly stepping away form the title picture. Oba, LA Knight, Bron Breakker (?), that’s really about it for Roman. I think Drew should move over to Raw when he’s back to give them some more to work with

Wahab Fares

Hey remember Dom’s the last person to beat Cena on PPV? The classic Cena rub you’ve done it again Johnathan

oak_slaney

While the wrestling itself didn’t make for an great and many of the matches didn’t get enough time, I am happy with every booking decision, particularly Chelsea winning the ladder match and KO’s return, despite being massive balor fan and wanting him to win. 7/10 show

Kieran Ryan

Danhausen another step closer to Goldbergs streak, let’s go

Blake Whitehouse

The whole “Referees Discretion” thing for the main event took me out of the match and made me not care. Both WWE and AEW have the issue where they want some of their big singles matches to basically be NoDQ without announcing it’s NoDQ. It doesn’t get me more hooked into the match, it just makes me think the producers are unimaginative.

StevenDC010

Didn't think either night was that good but much preferred night 2. It felt like things actually happened

CDE

thrilled for Chelsea and Chad, but tonight was a 6/10 for me, it would have been a 7/10 if I’d switched off before the main event as it was so slow. They could have cut 10 mins from it and given it to the four way and chad/penta so those matches could have had third acts. Seth and Roman wouldn’t have had to cut any moves as at least ten minutes of their match was just them walking and aura farming. And best of all TKO/espn keep all their lovely adverts! Chad heartfelt promo turning into a ad read was a generational wtf moment. Also oli, re the penguin test, the adverts in the show from Cole’s ad reads after an ad break, to the dawg and Minute Maid bits should all count as ad time, most of that stuff is more egregious than just having 3 minute ad breaks. If it isn’t integrated well it should count!

Sedin Magic15

Overall, I think this was a 4/5 show. I'm genuinely thrilled for my fellow Canadian Chelsea Green, and Chad Gable. The Punk/Rhodes and Seth/Roman matches were awesome. And what a return for Kevin Owens. Just one question, what the hell is an "interm womens champion" ? Does that mean Rhea automatically gets the title back when she returns? Cause that's really dumb, if that's the case

Joofy Juice

Didn’t watch anything past the first two matches as I had to work seeing KO return genuinely brought a tear to my eye especially after Gunther was the reveal I was pissed and then the reveal of KO made me jump out my seat. Also enjoyed my first ever Patreon watch along with yall look forward to more -

Jaws 24

Once again Summerslam was better than mania, both night had a good balance of booking. Im probably the only one enjoyed the seth vs roman but it was entertaining seeing how bored and tired you guys were meanwhile i was hooked after the crowd brawl

Rando_Scot

the card does not need to be thinner; the ad breaks do. WWE spends more time selling other companies products to fans than it does selling its own product.

samuelrgreen

Was I the only one who wasn’t a fan of the main event? It was just two dudes trading the same predictable spots for like 30 minutes and then Roman wins again lol.

Jack Roach

If Oba wrestled two matches (like Gunther), he would have looked like - dare I say it - a beast, whether he won or lost. Picture this - a wounded ruler comes out to face the tribal chief after slaying the beast. He throws in some heavy blows and Roman is like "whaaaaa" and Oba could sell an injury which Roman takes advantage off and then wins. Roman doesn't lose and still looks strong, Oba doesnt get buried and also looks strong.

brandon dawson

I actually loved both nights!! I felt like they hit the right story beats, both had consequences, had great feel good moments and the in ring action was awesome. Night 2s main events despite not having the best of builds felt big and delivered. I genuinely think SummerSlam 2026 makes it into my top 10 PPVs of all time... Maybe even my top 5

Finn

I really think the Seth Roman match missed the mark. I think they were going for a similar story to the Okada tanahashi retirement match where Okada couldn’t get the win until he brought back the full rainmaker and stopped the heel antics to win. In this match Roman had to let go of the shield lore and pass up hitting him with the chair to win but unlike the Okada match that wasn’t the story of the match up to that point at all it was just a normal 50/50 slow boring Roman reigns match. It was just callbacks to the shield rather than using it for actual storytelling. Not a terrible match but nowhere near as good as their match on turbo last week. Thanks for the watchalongs I don’t know how I’d get through the live ad breaks without it.

Mr. Grimes

I really don't know what to make of Summerslam as a whole. I just feel so apathetic towards everything that happened. Nothing hooked me, nothing made me feel like I would've kicked myself for not watching, and I honestly feel like at the end of the year, we'll all be struggling to remember a stand out match from this show since they were all so "fine". I really wanted to get back into WWE, since the Lyra heel turn got me back into watching. I still don't feel the love for wrestling from the product anymore. It all feels so devoid of any sort of care. Maybe I'm just burntout, I don't know, wondering if any of my Turbros feel the same, jam that jam.

GRAVY

Seth vs Roman was great until it killed all its momentum to do Shield antics. They had both Seth and Roman offer up their backs so people who are stuck in 2014 can kick their feet and giggle and when Roman threw away the chair it showed how much they know this feud is overplayed and repetitive. At least its over now.

Lily Petal

Kevin Owens returned, YAY! KO won the #1 contender match Yay! Finn lost the #1 contender match, DAMNIT!!! Trick vs Corbin . . . *sighs* Chelsea is the Interim *hate that part* Women's Champion, YAY!! Danhausen vs Dom, *deeper sigh* Chad won the IC championship, YAY!! Roman vs Seth, know that I say this as a true Shield fan, please please please PLEASE BE DONE WITH THIS FEUD FOREVER AND EVER AND EVER!!!!

Randy Bobandy

Really enjoyed this ppv. Watched on delay so skipped all the ads which helped. Main event was match of weekend. We need no more danhausen matches for quite some time now. Back to one show only and backstage segments for a bit

mike wolfe

It appears we are getting Punk vs KO and my ROH heart is bursting!

Lily Petal

Nope you were not the only one who wasn't a fan.

Brandon

more memorable PLE feeling moments from tonight with the returns and non-corbie title wins but that main event... WOOF

Austin Tackett

Honestly really liked the whole night. Chelsea is a favorite so i was very happy, and Kevin Owen's, who in my opinion is the best and most authentic wrestling talker of all time, winning after returning did alot for me. Roman v Seth was good, but my favorite thing was Gable winning, and when I was all the way emotionally there, the MUG Dog jumped on the apron, and I genuinely busted a gut laughing my whole ass off. Better than night 1 in my opinion

SomeThingUnique33

1. Kevin Owens returns keeps the streak of big returns at Summerslam alive and was my moment of the weekend. Him vs punk is gonna reenergize the main event scene. 2. Oba should be next up for Roman at MITB but I doubt it’ll happen. 3. I’m not the biggest Chelsea green fan but she was the best option to win the ladder match. 4. GUNTHER vs Aldis was my personal match of the weekend, I had 0 complaints about it.

cc

What does Seth do from here?

cc

Did this feud do anything for Seth at all, and if so, what? The only thing Seth ever had over Roman was the win*, but now Roman is just categorically better than Seth, leaving Seth with what? It just felt like an absolutely meh "main event".

Adele A. Lugosi

I liked the latter half of night 1, and the first half of night 2. If we had mixed them together. It would have been a decent PLE. Nick Aldis needs to wrestle more.

Joseph Machado

Chelsea's win, KO's return, and that Roman v Seth main event will be repeat B-Roll footage for years to come. Instant memorable moments. I will say the Chelsea Interim title run has the chance to be an incredible storyline. They could go the traditional "Interim" title with an inevitable unification match with Rhea, though I like the idea of a storyline that sees Chelsea work her way to ditching the pushover parts of her character through quality defenses. Instead of "unification", having Rhea come back expecting Chelsea to just hand the title back over to her as the temporary champ, only for Chelsea to say no could be a fantastic build up.

rhuds 06

Good show better than night one for me liked gable penta really happy for Chelsea getting her moment and obviously having ko back is great, that punk feud will be unbelievable. Rest of the show meh to bad completely uniterested in trick Corbin, Dom match was what it was but really didn't like the main event and I cannot believe I'm seeing people say they loved it one of the most generic matches I've ever seen and I pray to God this is the last time it happens this generations Orton Cena

Yeetus Skeetus

Just realised something about these wwe shows, they aren't meant to be watched live. I started watching halfway through and it kept skipping the we'll be right back portions of it. The con of that is i think i know all the lyrics to the summerslam theme song due to the summerslam snapshot montages. Also ughh the wacky line

Brody Allsep

Depending on how long Rhea is out, I am worried and also would not be surprised if Chelsea gets done like her husband and gets the pop but not the reign. I don't expect it next Smackdown, but they might have her defend, possibly lose, the interim championship.

Findlay

All we needed was Kevin Owens to return and suddenly WWE got good again

Daniel James Baker

I could not be happier for Chelsea green, absolutely deserves her flowers, F Bruce Pritchard and Michael Hayes. Also, big up Kevin owens, glad to see him back after such a long recovery, beautiful surprise. Loved the dirty deeds along an appearance but overall Seth vs Roman felt meh. Summerslam overall was fine but with some really good moments

Nacht Bogen

So why did corbin win? Sorry my name is for a deadlock bit 😅

Chris Jones

We pledge our allegiance to Queen Chelsea Green!

KFizzle4

Did that count as "Wrestling-Flavored"?

Paul McP

I really miss video packages...as someone who doesn't manage to watch every week having the video packages really sold the story, and were often among the best things in the show. I guess seeing The General and whatever that was celebrating with Chad is more important now, but only two brief video packages made me sad. Hooray for Chelsea though!

Florian Groß

Preferred it over Night 1, even though I still don't see it as a great show, just above average for me. But yay for KO (still would have rather seen Balor win) and Chelsea (had that ending spoiled in the weirdest way for me by someone on Tinder having her winning moment as a picture in their profile)! The main event was really good as well, tired as I am of Roman as champ and Shield lore. I hope Baron doesn't get too long of a reign (did they really make a signature belt for Trick only for him to lose it after like 2 weeks?) and they actually have good follow-ups for KO/Sami (or maybe also a heel Nick Aldis/Gunther partnership), Chad and Chelsea - but who am I kidding.

Sara Meehan

Love that Chelsea won the belt! I do feel this is a WWE move to go see we listen to the fans, we made her champ. Two minute loss to Rhea and then she never gets it again. I hope Im wrong!

Yash Agrawal

Chelsea Green winning the match had me literally jumping up and down and shouting in my room at 2 am, risking the German quiet laws. Thank God I don't rate wrestling, or else this would've been a 5-star match just from the finish. Also, did the minihausens owe JD money? Dear God those slams were incredibly brutal.

that guy who want to support

I don't know what was your problem with Gable and that Dog creature thing. It's obviously the family pet it's part of the family! Wouldn't you want Kiki to congratulate you Oli?

Rory Swaine

Night 2 was far in a way better than night 1. KO return was brilliant and I can’t wait for his feud with punk. Chelsea winning the title was great. Main event was good but I hope it’s a sign of things to come but I’m still skeptical of if Triple H can turn things around improve the quality of the show

Rich Sloma

I just want to say thank you to WrestleTalk. I don’t watch weekly WWE TV. I just don’t have the time. But thanks to the WrestleTalk News, and the WrestleTalk podcast, I can tune in for Summerslam and know all of the stories and angles and still enjoy the hell out of the show. So thanks to Luke and Oli for doing the dirty work!

Storm

First time commenter, love you guys. This night reminded me of WM night 2, where there was not enough wrestling, then the main event was amazing. Baron winning was silly, Chelsea winning is really fun. And of course, KO is finally back. Feel bad for Finn and sami though

Brent

If it's like the ones in AEW, when the original champion comes back, they would have a match with the Interim Champion to unified the 2 belts. But who knows what WWE will do once Rhea is ready to come back.

Arttu Tarsa

It's interesting that neither night had a attendance number reviled

paul young

Unfortunately it was made clear chelsea was winning when michael cole said she and flown 8 friends down to watch plus her family to watch. She wouldn't spend that much on tickets flights if she was losing Happy for her though she deserved it

G the B (Greg the Bastard)

This is why we watch wrestling. For nights like this! KO is one of my all time favourites, so happy to see him back! KO v Punk? Awesome. I love Chelsea Green So happy for her and well deserved. I thought her chance was gone when Jade's minions came out, excellent stuff! So happy for Chad as well. Awesome show, got everything I wanted. 10/10 no notes

Dean Brereton

Each night was a mixed bag, 1 would have been better however we know WWE want that cash. Punk Cody best match. Roman and Punk do professionals wrestling with story telling better than anyone in WWE although I do think night 2 main event dragged and had some boring spots, Trick feels so flat now while nice to see Chelsea win the big one.

Sir Fudds Pennyworth

I think between the suprises of KO's return and Chelsea's win, as well as the Chad/Penta and main event matches Night 2 was definitely better then Night 1. Perhaps not much better, but at least here they threw in a couple of curve balls to keep the night more interesting. I think putting Lash and Jade in same match really exposes that Lash is just a better version of Jade. Chad/Penta was easily match of the weekend, but could've used 3 or 4 more minutes to really build to the finish. The main event was very good as well. As much as we groan about the over use of the Shield lore in the build, I think it played really well into the match itself. Roman throwing that chair away and definitively beating Seth once and for all once an absolutely lovely touch. Now hopefully they can both move on to newer and better things. Overall good show. Also my wife called KO returning before they announced Gunther being added lol she sometimes has a supernatural gift for these things

macarotto

Enjoyed the KO return and Chelsea winning the interim title, Chad's win was marred by the dawg, and I fell asleep halfway through Roman vs Seth. Have just rewatched it and nearly fell asleep again, so crap. Punk vs Cody by far the superior main event. Thanks for the live hangout lads, looking forward to Dan's continued feud with wrestlers' kids at MITB.

Brxdley.h

Cody lost, Owens is back, Chelsea won, The SD main event scene feels stacked and somewhat new. Some of the show gives me hope - but because it’s WWE it’s hard to take it seriously

Kevin Fleuriot

Rewatching the main event, it's better than I thought last night, but not the best match of the weekend as I saw

Daniel Kennedy

Roman vs Seth was a 6/10 match at best. But then again when WWE posted on their social media that the match was "🔥🔥🔥🔥" I already knew.

JoeIdea

Isn't it ironic that the man known for having matches that go too long is now booking matches that are not long enough

“Big” Willy D

I know everyone is mad at that Root Beer Dog, but that guy looked way too big to just be a mascot. Like maybe seven feet tall, and you can’t teach that…I wonder if we got a hint what’s next for the IC title. A top notch fued for Turbo.
