Summer Slam has come and gone.. and BOY... did we have one hell of a time. We've got a lot to talk about, so let's get into it! Night 1: -Roman Reigns and Jey Uso vs. Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed This kicking off was pretty good in my opinion. While I do think the match wasn't one to blow your mind... it was still pretty dang good overall. In the end, we did see Roman and Jey pick up the win. This isn't what I thought would happen, but it is understandable moving forward (esp after watching Monday Night Raw). -Judgment Day (c) vs. Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair -Women's Tag Titles This match was pretty solid over all. All women did wonderful together and I enjoyed it! I feel like this match had so much on it in the first place, and there were so many people getting their hopes up for a Liv pop up. Sadly, that did not happen. We however.. did see Alexa and Charlotte pick up the win to win the tag titles! I am so happy for both women and hope they do this story ri...
Smackdown was one for the books, and we've got a lot to talk about! We are TWO weeks away from Crown Jewel and things are heating up! Let's get into it!
-Smackdown opened with Solo and The Bloodline coming to the ring.. letting everyone know that by the end of the night.. Jimmy and Roman would acknowledge him by the end of the night. Hmm.. In a shocking turn of events, Jey Uso came to the ring! Jey told Solo they are still brother and told him to think about what he is doing. Things got a little tense, but nothing physical took place just yet.
-Pretty Deadly vs. DIY vs. Street Profits
This match was pretty good, although a little odd in some moments.. but overall I enjoyed it. I was really pushing for Street Profits and honestly didn't expect this twist of an ending. Ford and Gargano each pinned a different member of Pretty Deadly.. but only one was legal. DIY ended up being the winning team!Good for them! I love to see it!
-Piper Niven vs. Lash Legend
I was pretty hype to see Lash Legend on Smackdown once again, and in a match. We see Jackson and Chelsea Green at ringside in support. This wasn't a very long match but they did a fairly good job making it competitive. Lash is better than I thought, and would love to see her more often if this is their call up. In the end, we saw Niven take a loss and Lash pick up the win.
*At some point we do see a small segment backstage with Jimmy, Roman, and Jey. This is where Roman tells Jey he is proud of him.. While I get that might be a "big deal".. are we really gonna think that is gonna fix anything after everything Roman put Jey through? Too funny! But I like where it is going. There is still about a month (or more) until Survivor Series.. so the story can slow build from there. So far, I like the pace.
-A-Town Down Under vs. Los Garzas vs. Motor City Machine Guns
No. I don't like they introduced MCMG on social media of all places. Why? Wasn't needed by any means, just let it happen on air. Stupid call if you ask me. Anyway.. I was still PUMPED when MCMG made their entrance! I loved this match all together and thought it went well. I hope Los Garzas are used more often moving forward, this match really gave them a push it seems. In the end, MCMG got a big win for a future title shot at the tag team titles. Too early? Yes.. is it fair? Nope. Does WWE care? No..
-Nia Jax and Candice Lerae vs. Naomi and Bayley
Tiffy was unable to make her match with Nia, so Candice LeRae stepped in. The match was pretty good I'd say.. but this makes me wonder where Tiffy is? I thought this might be a spot to have Nia lose the title but I was wrong. We saw Indi get involved and helped get a win. Candice did get the pin which took Nia by surprise. I really hope moving forward we see Candice used more.. I like her!
-Closing
Roman came out in the end.. and Solo ruined his little segment. Solo wanted Roman to acknowledge him in front of everyone.. and when he did.. it wasn't good enough. Tama, Tanga, and Jacob dragged out a beaten up Jimmy and Roman lost it. He took out everyone but it wasn't good enough. The Bloodline had the numbers and took out Roman to close the show. Hmm.. I saw a good bit of people upset about this. This also makes me wonder who in the world will show up for Roman? Will Jey forgive and join forced? What about Sami? Will this set up Survivor Series in the following weeks? I don't think they will talk more about that until after Crown Jewel! So far there are only two matches set which is for the champions.
7.2/10
