Summer Slam Is Over - Now for the Fallout...

What’s Up, Enthusiasts?

 

Well, Summer Slam I is filed away and it served as a fair segue to the new Triple H. Era. It wasn’t bad but like I said in the previous post, the real obstacle to overcome was boredom. Can’t expect the same thing to land the same second time around. We know H is aware, the question is what does he intend to do about it.

 

Summer Slam was better than last year’s, that’s for sure and for the most part it was a solid show. Logan Paul did way better than anyone expected but still came off a little awkward afterward so, I still think it’s best for him to start as a deluded Heel and transition to a Face. Pat McAfee and Baron Corbin underperformed in my opinion but it’s hard to say why. Maybe they’re too good of friends offscreen? Just felt they should have let loose a bit more with it.

 

As for the main event, same diff but they definitely let Brock Lesnar have fun with it. I was hoping for a more competitive match but the tractor stunts had to happen so I get it. I just hope they address how Roman Reigns, though “Undisputed Champion” is not so fairly. We all know it takes The Usos to keep the title on him so is he going to be outed as a bullshit Champion or is he going to be prompted to earn proper accolades? We will have to wait and see. What we should see is that they choose one of those directions now that Triple H is in charge. Not doing so could draw criticism no matter how good the H Kool-Aid tastes. We shall see.

 

As for other news, Ric Flair had his Last Match and just from the clips I caught online, I don’t know how anyone sat through it. It seemed rough but that’s what the man wanted to do. Hopefully he just opts to sell merch next time. A lot of veterans turned out as well. Looks like Diamond Dallas Page was in attendance along with Mick Foley, Bret Hart and The Undertaker so, it seems like diehard fans got their money’s worth but yeesh. Hope it all was worth it.

 

Back in the WWE Universe, the other big news outside of Io Shirai/Iyo Sky and Dakota Kai debuting alongside a Bayley return is talk that with Triple H now running things, Sasha Banks and Naomi should be brought back into the fold shortly. That’s great if it happens. Doubt we’ll ever know what really went down but that was no note to go out on. I’m glad a compromise could be reached.

 

So, that brings us to tonight’s RAW. We should get some insight as to how the future should shape up with the Summer Slam Fallout. Word is going around that Becky Lynch separated her shoulder during her Summer Slam match and could need surgery so, that leaves an opening for the Women’s Division. Bayley appears ready to fill it along with the NXT callups for back-up. Edge is back so we’ll see how he inflicts his vengeance and The Miz will review what went wrong against Logan Paul. Everyone’s curious so let’s see if Triple H comes up with more logical entertainment. Funny tweets and Likes get retweeted. Let’s see how he does.
