    I always wanted to see what Lesnar's reaction would be to an errant punch by Shane

    Two big matches set for Raw...
    Natalya vs Naomi vs Alexa vs Carmella in a fatal four way to determine Becky's Summerslam opponent.

    Rollins, Reigns, Corbin, Cesaro, Braun, Bobby, Rey, Bryan, Orton and Big E in a battle royal to determine Brock's Summerslam opponent.
    Isn't Alexa the only heel in that group? And it was Nikki that got pinned. As with any 3 or more person match, the one who doesn't get pinned or submitted always claims they're entitled

    I really hope it isn't Orton

    Reigns for the win

    I wonder will it be a screwy finish and it ends up being a multi man match at summerslam for the title

    Rollins, Reigns, Corbin, Cesaro, Braun, Bobby, Rey, Sami, Orton and Big E
    This is such a dumb list, half the people here recently lost or have done nothing. Hell why is Cesaro there when Black beat him. Why is Corbin there at all or Bobby for that matter? Bryan got swapped out for Sami too.

    If that leak is true (I don't think it is)then it seems really short-sighted to put the
    Tag Titles back on New Day
    Normally, I'd be game but when you have such a large roster and we already have a problem with talent not being utilised putting all the accolades on 3 guys seems dopey.
    Even doing this in a battle royale is a bit crap IMO then again Vince hates tournaments.

    What a shítshow this women's match is. Like something from 2008 and it's getting loud "This is awful" chants. Alexa has been particularly bad.

    I think Katie Taylor has a better accent than Becky and that's saying a lot.


    Becky's over acting is annoying as fcuk as well.

    I think that was only for the angle. He won’t be wrestling with it normally.

    Finn has asked for 2 months off after Summerslam so it makes sense to job him out to Bray. Build Bray back up.

    That womens match was so bad, just awful. Don't think there's a match I don't want to watch as much as Lynch/Natalya. Would have liked to see Shayna get called up and built to a big match at Summerslam playing off Becky beating Ronda.

    And Lesnar/Rollins again? No thanks.

    He's quoted as saying he wants Unsainted as his walkout song, plus the guy that makes the slipknot masks made Bray's

    Alexa tweeted about the crowd for the women's match last night, she called them rude and disrespectful. I can understand her frustrations but I don't think it looks good to complain like that, it's not like others have never gotten the same or even much worse.

    Why were the Smackdown lads in a match to face Lesnar, makes no sense to me, apart from making Brock look like the main man, it'll be interesting to see if some Raw lads head over to Smackdown tonight looking to face Kofi

    Brand split has been dead for a while now, if we are honest....

    This made me cry...

    Bryan Alverez:
    "This person here pointed out yesterday: I listened to your extreme rules review with Vinny and you asked if you had stepped into a time machine. In October of 2017, this was 2 and a half years ago. Brock Lesnar was the Universal Champion, A.J Styles was the United States Champion, The New Day were the Smackdown Tag Team Champions, Shane McMahon was feuding with Kevin Owens and Dolph Ziggler was feuding with the Miz. We are exactly where we were 2 and a half years ago after last night's Extreme Rules."

    Same Reason Carmella was in the 4-Way, the brand split is dead. Raw was okay but Summerslam is looking a bit uninteresting right now and certainly like a repeat.
    Natalya always seems to get a title match this time of year, not to mention she was in the title fight in 2017 at Summerslam too, should have been an opportunity to highlight a new female talent but I guess it's in Canada so whatever, don't have her win please.

    Finn vs. Bray literally happened at Summerslam two years ago. The fiend is cool and all but hope it's not just going to be Wyatt in the ring as normal, Finn's losing regardless.
    Brock vs. Seth. Not all that invested in this one either just a repeat of Wrestlemania.


    Wondering who Kofi is gonna face. Apparently Bryan is making a massive announcement at Smackdown tonight, speculation that he might join with Harper and have a 3-Man stable to take on the New Day could see that being for all the gold.

    Thats really my point, just worded it wrong, we had this big huge brand split hoo haa, i think i said at the time, i didnt think a split mattered anymore, but when they done it, i taught they might do a proper job on it but within weeks its dead, guess its to do with the tv companies

    Ye're right, the brand split is dead so why have Alexa, Carmella, Natalya and Naomi in a match when you can have Asuka, Kairi, Ember and Charlotte? Even Mandy and Sonya are better options than the four from last night.

    Alexa sounds whiny but the person who thought those four should get 25 minutes is the real idiot.

    There should only be 1 women's division, I don't care if that's wrong to say because of supposed progress in today's WWE or whatever, but the fact is they do not have the star power to sustain 2 functioning divisions whatsoever

    1 proper division that has multiple matches or stories at any given time, they're barely doing 2 atm

    Same with the tag division, not enough star power to go around in a proper way

    In a proper brand split I'd have the women permanently on Raw, and the tag division on SD

    Also, Ricochet's reaction to that Phenomenal Forearm irked me. Doing a flip to sell what is essentially a big jumping punch is self-indulgent nonsense. Even Ziggler would think "too much" to that.

    Wonder why Lacey didn't get in that 4 way since Corbin got another shot.
    So an elimination match now gives everyone a nice long break between each elimination?
    And yet another 2/3 falls match.

    Surprised they didn't have a break after each elimination in the Battle Royal.
    And the 2 guys people would've liked to have seen in the title match were the first eliminated in Cesaro and Big E
    And I know I say it every time, but they need a rule to stop people lying outside during a Battle Royal or Royal Rumble. Maybe eliminated after a 10 count.

    I know the lack of a brand split has been mentioned, but since he held the IC title, I was sure Finn was a Smackdown guy.

    Also found it strange that Drake and Renee were comfortable broadcasting their consummation live to millions.
