Not really sure why they had to murder Owens just so Braun was fresh enough to get murdered by Brock.
Otherwise that was a pretty enjoyable PPV. |

1. To get him on the show, 2. because they had no plan before hand, they simply booked the match with no plan, and 3. this company's "creative" direction is a joke and straight up trash.

That was the right way to do it. Reigns needed to get his win against Lesnar, so you couldn't put Braun in the match, so just put him out at ringside to get beaten up and stuff.

Event itself was decent overall. Some really questionable decisions and not worth the earlier start time but it did have some good to great matches.

That's not what happened though, he did nothing but get knocked down by Roman then get destroyed by Brock. Let K.O. give Braun a fight. Braun could still beat Owens but be beat up a bit himself. Then it at least makes sense that he isn't able to cash in after getting attacked, instead of looking like a turd compared to Brock again. |

I am bummed about Miz and Bryan. This should have been built and done at Mania. I guess they are just worried about Bryan not resigning.

And thinking about it, I know they are blowing the fued with Owens and Strowman off but it would have been nice if Strowman had recovered, went to cash in the case and Owens came out of nowhere, grabbed it and took off not allowing Braun to cash in. Owens can't be Braun but he can sure screw him out of what he wants.

I didn't see that match so I can't comment on it. Maybe those details could have been handled better, but there was no other way they could have done that ending, Reigns had to win that match against Lesnar and not have it shit on with Braun cashing it in on him.

Let me guess, the whole point of Strowman was to keep the fans from walking out and missing the coronation...

Agree, last two episodes were kinda weak but this one came back super strong.. loved Dr. Nira Cain-N'Degeocello coming back giving birth, and this was by far the strongest Ex Con Second Chance

They waited almost 4 years to finally get Reigns' big moment done and ended up half-assing it like everything they've done with his booking. |

Wow! Just realized Roman Reigns is a 4-time world champion with 3 reigns as the WWE World Heavyweight Champion and current (maiden) reign as Universal Champion.

Such a great payoff to this storyline that started in 2014.

The best is how it was booked so Brock lost the title because Brock was distracted by Braun, not because Roman was "the better man".

Enjoyed the show more than I thought I would probably because I watched it over two separate times. The problem is that with the pre show includes it’s a 6 hour show, most people don’t have the attention span for that. I know they need to get as many of the wrestlers as possible on to the show and continue or end the feuds that have been building up but it would be much better if they cut down the amount of matches and put more focus then on to what is there .
Also for their own sake they may need to put the Takeover events the night after the PPV or on a separate weekend cos they keep getting upstaged. Overall there was some great matches over the weekend with some unnecessary segments ie the Braun/Owens match. |

I wonder what the numbers are on how many fans watched Takeover vs Summerslam.

I wouldn't think it'd be close, but do they even make those numbers public? and you're just talking about people who watched over Network right?

i didn't even realize Roman won the belt before. feels like he's been trying to win for 10 years and not in a Mick Foley sort of way.

So how is Braun going to use his briefcase to win the belt. I don’t see him failing to cash in the year after Corbin failed cos it would taint the MITB match.
Either that or he does an angle where he throws the briefcase in the rubbish cos he’s a monster and he doesn’t need it , then it gets picked up by a mystery person. Then they can play an angle when different wrestlers will walk out to the ring during Romans matches to keep us guessing who it is. |

His second reign was like a month and he lost it to Triple H when they put the title on the line in the 2016 Rumble match. And this third reign was only like 2 or 3 months, he lost the belt and then immediately got a Wellness suspension. So they've all been completely uneventful. |

I think Braun will cash in tonight possibly
ALSO remember Brock has been booked for the "RAW after SummerSlam" for a while. Tonight is Brock's real 'swan song' until he decides to one day return again. |

Reigns has had some shitty runs for sure. hopefully the writers figure it out and this reign lasts more then a few months. If not and Braun cashes tonight, then i think they've thrown in the towel with him as a long reigning champion for now |

I hope John Cena comes back to challenge Roman for the belt. That would rule.
