WWE: SummerSlam 2021
 

I've read that "Las Vegas" wants Summerslam to end by 10pm. This would be a first for WWE in many years that I can recall to have a 10 match PPV card come in at 3 hours. Here are some variables.

There has been reports that Sasha isn't cleared to compete for whatever reason (I assume Covid protocols). It would be a huge loss to the show as that could easily be one of the best matches on the show. I wonder how this will be handled if true.

Goldberg and Lashley won't take long, that's a given. 10 minutes tops. I doubt that Bliss/Marie will be a long one too. And at least one match will likely be added to the pre-show if they haven't already announced that.

Also there has to be something with Corbin and Big E about the Briefcase which could take up a small chunk of time. The timing of the show will be interesting but there is no reason they can't put on a good show, the card for the most part has great potential in my opinion. I will be watching.

I'm guessing Balor interferes and costs Cena the match, as revenge for stealing it from him.

Why is SS on a Saturday? I thought it's tomorrow. Haven't watched much WWE besides a clip or there for the past 4/5 weeks.

Interested in Cena Roman. Sasha v Bianca wil prob be good. And that’s about it for me. Wait, I do wanna see what’s kind of shit show that Eva Marie match devolves into. Has she wrestled or taken a bump at all since coming back?

Hmmm. This card looks good. How do you watch ppvs now?

Peacock

Goldberg in yet another match where he does a spear over and over then a jackhammer if we're lucky. Wonder if he has his wrestling trunks this time and not the granpappy baggy shorts he did in his last "match". :wtf:

Insiders saying Sasha won't wrestle tonight, as they have the last few days...I wonder what's up...

Maybe she got the Rona. I wonder who replaces her if anybody.

If she's out I say Becky is in.

Damn...cool looking giant torch will be off-camera side of the stadium

Those booths near the floor in that pic 'look cool' also

WWE doing their usual exaggeration of attendance "over 50,000 fans"

This Nicky ASH gimmick is HORRIBLE

SIGN THE GUEST ANNOUNCER

Bum ass Baron Corbin LOL, Pat is the the best.

Corbin is so great at this gimmick

I feel like Corbin took the contract out of the briefcase already lol

It's not the best but it's inoffensive and it's always good to have a "role model" type character that kids can look up to.

Man's gotta eat. :shifty:

The tag team title looks massive on AJ Styles. Never noticed that before.

It's PrettyCool that they've held on to the RAW tag team titles since WrestleMania.

Triple A probably thanking the stars above that he doesn't have to sit through this horrible-ass show and do a write-up of all the results...

WTF dude? The show just began. How's it horrible? Chill :smh:

It's cringe, and embarrassing to watch. I do find it offensive. I don't care about kids.

LOL @ sign that says "RANDY LETS WRESTLE NAKED"

'K.

New tag team champions! Hopefully they'll separate Omas and Styles in the near future.

Good opener. Randy didn't bump the whole match and it was still very entertaining. Riddle is great. AJ was as advertised, phenomenal.

UGH, Riddle gonna be like 10000000× more unbearable on RAW now...😭😭😭😠😠😠

Oh Jesus! I don't want to sit through this match.

Hopefully it's really quick.

Fuck, that giant Lily is wild!

"I'm reading a sign that say' she's worse than an airport tuna sandwich" lmao

Crowd reacting very strongly to Eva Marie slapping Lily.

What an uneventful match.

Eva Marie one of the worst wrestlers of all time

Thankfully it's over quickly. This Alexa Bliss gimmick is just terrible.

who's that big lady

Seanny would so motor those ta tas

AC Slater saying WWF. McMahon in shambles :lol:

RKO MARIO

Doudrop aka' Piper Nivens from NXT UK.

Mario Lopez for full time hire!

Damian Priest shooting flaming arrows all over Vegas, MAGGAL

Damian Priest coming across as very underwhelming.

any CM Punk chants tonight?

how much money would I get if I put Brock Lesnar Guy in a fuckin camel clutch?

show feels lifeless to me so far...hopefully something about that changes...

Three RAW matches in a row :nono:

Doudrop/Piper Niven.

I'll never not associate the Alabama Slam with Bob Holly.

WE FIGHT ON SATURDAY NIGHT, HAH-HA, AH LOVE IT!

Match picking up pace. Crowd getting behind Priest.

Damian Priest is champion. Good for him.

There's gonna be a lot of fire arrows shooting up the casinos tonight

Dunno what's been worse, this or Lions/Steelers preseason game...prob this...I'm from Michigan, but always fun to laugh at Detroit's football ineptitude.

Struggling to pay attention/care about any of this.

Good for Priest though.

WWE 2K22 won't be out until March 2022.

I've seen the Mysterios and Usos fight so many times that I cannot find myself to care for this one. Hopefully the in-ring is solid. Wouldn't mind a breakup either.

MAN, THIS THREAD IS POPPING!

Remember when everyone was upset that WWE didn't do anything about Jimmy Uso's third DUI?

It's very quiet for a SummerSlam PPV. Really looking forwad to both world title matches and Edge's entrance.

I'm tapping out I can't do it anymore.

That was pretty decent. Glad to see The Usos retain.

First time national champion :lol: Oh, Tiffany Haddish

Whoa! I wasn't aware Nakamura was on the card tonight.

Hey gents how’s the show so far?

I'm so jealous of McAfee's energy.

Why would you trust that scum?

Edit: oops double post

Odd decision to have Bianca Belair come out first. Maybe there's some truth to Banks not being here.

low energy crowd

matches have been fine minus Eva/Alexa, which was terrible

A bit underwhelming tbh

RKOBro won the titles
Priest is champion
Bliss won
Usos retained

While the live merch & concessions sales are going in the toilet for tonight's show at least WWE saved a ton of cash by not having to do any pyro due to Allegiant Stadium's rules against it.

I take it back @slik

I hope this is a serve. Hasn’t Bianca wrestled Carmela at least 3x since they went back to live crowds?

Becky Lynch!

BECKY MOTHERFUCKING LYNCH!

That’s more like it

Segment saved

Called it

ABOUT DAMN TIME!!!!

Finally, something interesting

I am genuinely so happy to see Becky Lynch back :love:

Fuck me Becky! Please!

She looks incredible, that messy hair is doing it for me!

Becky looks great

What the actual fuck! Lynch squashed Belair :lol:

LMAO that was underwhelming

Jesus Christ, WWE. I'm glad to see Becky back but a fucking squash? Come on!

That place is on fire!

Just like that, Bianca Belair looks like a dork and is just another woman on the roster.

Lmaoooo all that work put into Belair just flushed down the toilet lol. And to make it worse she was jumping up and down smiling like a dork when Lynch walked out.

Something went down this week to cause this
