I'm enjoying Cindy's interactions with Eclipso, a really compelling subplot there...that her mum is hot tho

I hope this iteration of Green Lantern isn't what they are about to feed us with in the upcoming HBOMAX Green Lantern project cos it's quite wack and not true to the comics

Are you guys seeing what I'm seeing? Brock's sudden return even after rejecting a much anticipated match with Bobby Lashley. A Becky Lynch surprise comeback and a bad booking decision in the process. Someone said Vince is doing everything to counter Punk's return buzz and I'm beginning to believe it.

it's a competition, its what he should be doing but his booking decisions are head scratchers....

Shout out to valeelove for rampage review. Good review purple. Abeg why did they do Bianca dirty this way? Instead of another Carmella match. Why not give us a fresh match up with Bianca vs Liv Morgan who's been sitting idly with nothing to do. Then have Becky lynch have a face to face standoff with Bianca at the end. When Mcmahon eventually ends up in hell, his penance should be reliving his worse moments over and over ad infinitum since he loves repetition so much.

Bruh, it baffles me tbh...I know this is Vince cos paid writers can't be coming up with these kind of mind boggling decisions

WWE SUMMERSLAM REVIEWS RECAPS AND REACTIONS

A Beast and His Ponytail Walk into a Casino...
Let’s not bury the lead here. We all knew John Cena was taking the pin so the only question was how and what happens as a result.
How? A very dope match fitting of SummerSlam. It told a great story of a man who knew he wasn’t the man he used to be trying to fight a guy who is at his peak. Roman Reigns pounded on Cena in the beginning, handing out the ass whipping John knew was coming his way. But Cena kept coming back, no matter what Reigns dished out. After getting all of that work during the first half of the match, Cena found his rhythm when he realized Roman isn’t invincible.
To paraphrase one of the two Zack Snyder movies I like, Cena realized that even a god-king can bleed. But none of his usual methods worked. No regular Attitude Adjustment. No Attitude Adjustment from the top rope. No STFU. It was a lot of close but no cigar as the moves Cena used to win so many championships over the years didn’t unseat the Head of the Table.
In the end, Cena, who mocked Reigns for switching up his style, signaled his own downfall when he went for a spear of his own. Of course, he didn’t just go for a spear; he imitated the WWE Universal Champion as well. Cena believed anything Reigns can do, he can do a whole lot better. Well, not tonight. His arrogance left an opening for the Tribal Chief, who proceeded to finish the man devoted to peace with his spear, laying Cena down for the three-second tan.
What happened as a result? Brock Lesnar, in all his ponytailed and bearded glory. Las Vegas—and yours truly—erupted when that Lesnar’s music hit. While Cena is clearly no match for Reigns, Brock is a different story, different book, and possibly a different species. And the best part of the interaction was Paul Heyman.
Heyman’s history with Lesnar is well-documented so I’m not going to bore you with a trip down memory lane. But like any good story, knowing how the past informs the present makes for a rewarding experience. Seriously, the man was cowering when Lesnar walked to the ring.
Since hooking up with Roman Reigns, Paul’s done a lot of things but falling to his knees out of fear is not one of them. Paul knows what Brock is capable of and more importantly, he knows if Reigns is ready to handle it. Because when it comes to that smoke, Lesnar is a damn five-alarm blaze.
A dramatic moment in Rocky III was Mickey realizing Rocky wasn’t ready to fight Clubber Lang. The cats Rocky fought as champion weren’t pushovers, but they looked like baby ants compared to Lang. Mickey did all he could to protect his fighter from Lang’s wrath but Rocky, believing all of his own hype, insisted on fighting Clubber and ignored his trainer’s advice. Mickey was scared and Rocky ignored that fear or didn’t care.
If Paul is scared, that should tell Roman all he needs to know about the challenge in front of him. I can’t wait to see what happens when Reigns ignores his advocate’s advice and dives head first into the den of the man who, according to Pat McAfee, is the “alpha male of our species.”
For Roman’s sake, I hope he watches Rocky III.

Way longer than expected But Lashley beat the crap out of Goldberg
Goldberg returned weeks ago to simply demand a title shot, and it was granted for reasons we still aren’t entirely sure of. There wasn’t much in the way of a build. They just vowed to beat each other up, and Goldberg brought his kid around so he could watch him in person.
He watched his dad lose.
Lashley had MVP there to assist him — in hilarious fashion, considering Goldberg was late selling a shot to his leg — and that gave him the advantage he needed. He worked the knee over time and time again, and Goldberg couldn’t even stand on it so the referee decided to call it.
Lashley remains your WWE champion.
After, Lashley took a chair to Goldberg repeatedly, as the crowd cheered him on, strangely enough. Goldberg’s son, Gage, hit the ring to try to protect his father, and he ended up in the Hurt Lock. This mercifully ended there, when MVP got on the mic and claimed Bobby couldn’t know he was attacked from behind by Goldberg’s son.
“I’m going to kill you,” Goldberg shouted to Lashley as the champion walked to the back.

There was a much longer rant before I started typing, but I calmed down quite a bit. Well, not a lot, but enough. That said, I have one very important question:
What in the actual f*ck was that?
Becky Lynch coming back is great! I love Becky, you love Becky, we all scream for Becky. But this entire segment was weird for several reasons, starting with the fact WWE advertised Sasha Banks x Bianca Belair doing battle before and during SummerSlam. If anyone reading this believes the billion dollar company didn’t know one of its star wrestlers wasn’t performing at their marquee event of the summer, I have a story to tell you about Santa Claus.
Sasha is written out of the match in a way that would shock even the late David Stern in its lack of transparency, resulting in the crowd deflating like a balloon. Out comes Carmella and the crowd goes mild. The woman Belair used as her punching bag for weeks looked prime to get yet another title shot for “basketball reasons.” Bianca, rightly frustrated, is game to to slap fire out of Mella one more time because why not.
Or so we thought.
Once that Irish chant blasted through Allegiant Stadium, it sounded like the Las Vegas Raiders won the Super Bowl. Funny enough, that reaction is probably as close as that stadium will ever get to a championship celebration. But I digress. The Man came to Vegas and it truly was a dope moment. She basked in the reaction after being away for more than a year, then tossed Carmella out on her ass, setting up a one-on-one showdown between The EST and The Man.
And that’s where the record scratch happened and they lost me.
Bianca vs. Becky in an impromptu match should have the dustiest of finishes. Or, at the least, someone in the middle to take the L so neither of them have to. WWE dismissed Carmella with the same effort one dismisses a fly and before I could raise an eyebrow in protest, the “match” was over. Bianca extended her hand in respect, Becky gave her a forearm to the jaw for her troubles, and one Manhandle Slam later, your winner and new SmackDown Women’s Champion is Becky Lynch.
Boooooooo
Bianca deserved better than this. Sure, the built-in excuse is she wasn’t ready and definitely wasn’t prepared for Lynch. However, as the reigning champ and inspirational babyface, she has to look better than that. If they got 15 or even 10 minutes and she took the pin, then she potentially looks good in defeat and proves how much she’s learned in her short time on the main roster. The same woman who took Sasha Banks to the brink at WrestleMania didn’t lay a pinky on a woman who was out of action for 16 months. Nah, that ain’t it.
Becky deserved better than this as well. Her first match back should be, ya know, an actual match. To say nothing of the fact she looks foul for just inserting herself into a match, tossing out one of the participants, and hustling the babyface champ in the process. I will shed no tear for Mella, but there’s a disconnect here. While The Man never possessed a pure heart, she had a code. The woman who forfeited her title to Askua doesn’t seem like the one who showed up tonight.
The most infuriating thing is none of this had to happen. Carmella was right there to take the pin, setting up a proper singles match between Bianca and Becky, while giving Becky the same post-match moment with all of the flowers thrown at her feet. Bianca looks strong, Becky looks strong, and Mella remains cannon fodder comic relief. Everybody wins. Instead, we got a situation where no one looked good.
Give WWE props for one thing: They never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity.

Ain’t Nothing Like the Real Thing, Baby
First things first: Edge coming out to the Brood’s theme, and emerging out of the ground, was the dopest moment of the night. Besides looking cool, the moment of nostalgia illustrated the larger point that Edge needed to go to a dark place to vanquish Seth Rollins. Rollins, dressed as either Tale Spin’s Don Carnage or a member of Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, was a little shook at what he awoke inside of the WWE Hall of Famer. But hey, he asked for it, right?
WWE has a problem with narrative disconnect. This match, which is built on both men doing their best to to stake their claim to the shadows, started as a simple wrestling match. After weeks of getting very personal and intense, an all-out war was the only option. But like I said earlier, WWE has that thing about missing opportunities.
Luckily for them—and for us—Edge and Seth are two of the best and what started as a wrestling match turned into compelling fight. Rollins pushed Edge and vice versa, with each man doing their ever-loving best to put the other away post haste. The story was just how far was Edge willing to go to get the job done. He speared Rollins onto the stadium floor. He did a swinging neck breaker from the top rope. The man even pulled a freaking Edgecator out of his apparently very deep bag of tricks.
Edge, realizing none of that was enough, put Rollins in a crossface and bashed his head into the ring over and over and over again. That migraine, along with the getting the life choked out of him, was too much for Rollins and he finally said uncle.
What started meh and not befitting of their rivalry, morphed into a dope last sentence for their rivalry. If this is the end. No clue where either of these cats go after SummerSlam, but consider me intrigued cos I didn't see Edge winning here

Extracurriculars
Meet the New Women’s Champ, Same as the Old Women’s Champ
Ya know, I almost bought it. For more than a few seconds, I thought Nikki A.S.H. was walking out of Vegas the same way she walked in. Why on earth would WWE take the title off of Charlotte Flair a few weeks ago just go give it back? Why else would they poke out their chest to say how inspirational Nikki is to kids and the people who need smiles on their faces? Surely there were plans to really do something with this “almost a superhero” thing, right?
Clearly my optimism isn’t built for this company. The triple threat match for the Raw Women’s Championship barely lasted long enough for me to make a sandwich, and existed purely for Charlotte to notch title reign number 12 and add more decorations to her name.
Either the crowd was really into Charlotte or not feeling Nikki A.S.H. at a-l-l because they erupted when Nikki tapped and Charlotte claimed her prize. Might be time for fake superhero to hang up her very real cape.

RKBro’s Gamble Pays Off
Teaming up with Randy Orton is the type of high stakes risk not many in Vegas can relate to. Riddle took that chance as he and his notoriously treacherous partner faced A.J. Styles and Styles’ personal colossus, Omos. Now that I’m recapping this stuff, I can finally say publicly that Omos has the best moniker in all of wrestling. “Personal Colossus” is dope and says so much in only two words. Omos is a beast, a fact Orton and Riddle were well aware of. So what did they do?
Well, they beat the hell out of A.J. and wanted no parts of any action Omos dished out. The prevailing thought is that the Colossus is unbeatable. RKBro never even tried to test that theory and as a result, they walked out of Vegas with gold around their waists.
Their post-match interview with Mario Lopez hinted at the uneasiness of their partnership but that’s the fun part. Can happy go-lucky Riddle get along with a man who admits he’s a snake?

From a “Little Town in New York City” to U.S. Champion
All of the props in the world to Damian Priest for finishing his match with Sheamus. Early in the bout, the guy landed the way nobody wants to land when attempting a dive outside of the ring. My back still hurts thinking about it and clearly his did during the match. He’s a true soldier for that, so give him your applause.
As for the match itself? It was cool. Sheamus dominated most of it because Priest never got his offense really going. And when he did, his high-risk offense proved way too risky as Sheamus made him pay a hefty price every single time. The second Sheamus lost his mask aka his superpower, that was all she wrote. Sheamus’ confidence vanished, he focused more on defense, and ate a Reckoning from Priest. Raw has a new United States Champion but my spider-sense says a rematch is on the horizon.

One More Thing...
Pat Mac gave me life throughout this show. Him screaming “Hadoken!” during the Mysterios x Usos tag match was, until the end of the show, my favorite moment of the night. The USO's retained their titles

Grade: C+
If not for the last match, this grade is a lot worse. The crowd was dead through a lot of the four-hour event, there was an unnecessary joke segment, and a good portion of the show was just, ya know, boring. Roman and Cena delivered, Becky’s comeback was dope—result not withstanding—and Brock is back with a ponytail

Yep, it wasn't released for streaming, same as GvK, WW84, Dune and Matrix but WB is sticking their neck for streaming release despite knowing they'll lose money. The bigger picture have been to grow max numbers and it's working. They have been outpacing Netflix and Disney subs since first quarter.
Was MOS rebooted with BVS?
They don't seem fidgety now with their sticking to streaming release even with massive backlash and threats last December. They looking like a god now, releasing their big movies when other studios continues to push back or send to Streaming all together.

DC fans don't know we gotta be praising anyone who came up with the HBOMax plans. For me, that's where DC gets saved and build a connected or coherent verse. No pressure from there and creatives could do what they like with minimal meddling. It gives us easy access or audience for lesser known characters without BO pressure.
Now DC fans can bet on at least 6 movies per year+ series. Many B-list characters are getting shown to fans.
Numbers of movies have been DC's problem. We don't have enough movies for people to care much about. You can't compare 7/8 movies with a franchise with 15 movies...now over 25 movies.

I sure die, if not for HBOMax all these new movies for smaller characters would never happen. Even if announced they would be cancelled. If they can link up the series with the movies on HBOMax and theatrical, I swear we go enjoy.

Things will be set straight with Fandome.
Isn't fleshing out more characters and more movies going with the flow? WB main concern seem to be revitalising the brand and growing audiences acceptance, not box office gross.

Sorry for the verbose.

Okay man, if you say so
I'm also hoping they don't panic...na PTSD dey cause all these concerns from fans

You peeps are kinda funny......
You think present box office gross will faze WB. Then you've not been paying attention.

People that are willing to sacrifice millions if not billions of dollars production money for streaming day and date release. And you think this one go shock them. People still paid millions extra money to creatives and actors just to keep movies on streaming.

They ain't desperate for money returns now. This board seem more bothered with the bigger picture.
People be making loss since 2019 until Joker saved them face, and they ain't desperate to recoup those massive losses.

Okay so no more reboots and cancellations?

Good show overall. The constant rematches between mysterious and usos is mind boggling. Same applies to Shotzi/Nox vs Tamina/Natayla. You fight the champs over and over again in order to fight them again for the title? I wasn't thrilled with the fact that the former IC champion, Apollo got pinned by a debuting Rick Boogz. Sasha and Belair still have my interest. I think there making Otis a serious title contender. I love this Corbin storyline. The Roman Reigns stipulation raises the stakes but is a giveaway to the winner of that match.

Bruh, Boogs pinning Apollo automatically makes him a that to be taken seriously and the man oozes charisma
I'm keeping an open mind towards Otis too
