WWE SummerSlam (2020) Thread

Bray Wyatt is new Universal champion.

And Roman Reigns just lit up Bray Wyatt and Braun Strowman.

For the record, with Payback being next Sunday, I'm not creating a new thread. We'll just extend this one to next week.

Overall, I thought it was a solid PPV. Seth/Dominik was a lot better than I thought it would be.

It'll be interesting to see what they have next for Sasha.

Probably the first step in the Bayley-Sasha feud we've been anticipating for awhile now.

Anybody been keeping up with AEW Dynamite and Being the Elite? The Dark Order is really hitting their stride on Dynamite but they need to show off more of their BTE personality. Never thought I'd say this but they're all pretty funny together and Silver is hilarious. The dynamic between him and Brodie isn't anything totally unique or fresh by any means but they pull it off.

Apparently Wade Barrett is going to be doing guest commentary on NXT tonight (looking forward to that - always loved the guy). He hasn’t signed a WWE contract, though, so it’s said this is a one-off.

Karrion Kross relinquishes the NXT title due to his separated shoulder. And I didn't realize he was capable of that kind of promo.

Once again, Robert Stone getting run over by Shotzi Blackheart's tank. This time, getting it practically up his ass.

New NXT champ will be decided next Tuesday. Johnny Gargano, Finn Balor, Tommaso Ciampa, and Adam Cole in a 4-way 60-minute Ironman match.

BTE meaning their YouTube channel I assume? Or something else?

Yeah Being the Elite is what the Young Bucks started years ago to document their crazy travel as indie wrestlers. It became very popular, evolved into a sketch comedy type show with some ROH and NJPW storyline mixed in, and basically led to AEW even being a possibility. There's actually a lot of AEW storyline mixed in with some goofy skits these days and surprisingly the Dark Order stuff is some of the best if not the best stuff on the show. Really like watching BTE but I honestly think they need to put more of what they have in there on Dynamite or at least show the relevant clips so people don't miss key parts of the story. Casual fans aren't going to go out of their way to watch a half hour YouTube show every week.

Roman Reigns is a Paul Heyman guy. Wait - what???

What I didn't notice first time around was Adam Pearce nervously glancing at something off screen. That honestly should have been the tip-off, and I missed it.
