MungoChutney Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Loved Styles/Cena, thought the ladder match was really good as well with one or two fresh spots.  The main event was fantastic and because I watched this morning I didn't think there was enough time left for the cash in. Unsure how Battleground will play out with the brand split happening before that but the Shield triple threat main eventing SummerSlam is perfect.

Grecian Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Having watched only the ladder match and last ten minutes (will be watching the rest tomorrow night), I thought Del Rio looked great. Everything he did looked nasty as hell, just as a heel should in that kind of match. His best performance since he came back - if he carries that on, and sorts out his character a bit, he could be the best heel wwe has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Supremo Posted June 20, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted June 20, 2016 Good show. Â Ambrose winning the title means tonight's RAW might be the first I've watched in months. I'm very much up for a Sheild triple threat feud. Â Loved the Spear reversal into The Pedigree. Can't believe they didn't make that the finish. Â I fully believed Finn Balor was running in when they bumped the ref in Cena vs. Styles. I'm hoping he'll flourish when he's got his mates to bounce off in promos.

Winston Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Excited by the prospect of the Shield triple threat feud but not convinced by Ambrose as champion long term. Would be good if he could freshen up his look a bit now at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members FLips Posted June 20, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted June 20, 2016 I'd love to see Ambrose drafted to a different show to Rollins and Reigns so they can't fight for his belt until one of the big 4. Have him defend on his brand until then, and then go into the match trying to defend the belt from another brand taking it, with the added fuel of Rollins and Reigns drama.

RIDDUM_N_STYLE Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Called the finish of AJ/Cena kind of with my mates in work yesterday, had Gallows and Anderson to hit the Magic Killer but I had AJ to use the 450 or forearm to really finish. Cena looked great considering he hadn't wrestled in months  Made up Ambrose won the ladder match then cashed in on Rollins, was way too soon to put the belt back on Seth. You couldn't hide the beaming grin on Renee's face after the ladder match though, god knows what she was like after the cash in  Great show overall with the exception of Ziggler/Corbin, please let that be the end of that feud now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members I Bent My Wookie Posted June 20, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted June 20, 2016 Pretty sure they'll go down the Ambrose vs Rollins route for Battleground before putting Reigns in with them at SummerSlam. Have Steph play up the concussion fear from last night and refuse to let him comepete, then gave him get involved in the singles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love-Wilcox Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 The three big matches were all exactly what I was expecting and in this case that's a good thing. You could see the finishes coming from a mile off but because of the stories being told and the potential match-ups being set up I really didn't care. Â MotN for me was AJ/Cena by far. AJ just keeps getting better and better and more than held his own against Cena here. As for Cena I haven't seen him put somebody over this strong since Brock Lesnar. The storytelling from both men was simply sublime and I'm salivating at the prospect of another match down the line. Â My only peeve of the night was Rollins wrestling 100% babyface despite cutting heel promos on RAW the past few weeks but whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The King Of Swing Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Does Rollins know how to wrestle like a heel? Even when he cheats to win it's usually after wrestling like a face for 20 minutes. Â Owens can be like that as well at times. Â Jericho and Miz are probably the only true heels left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Owens can trash talk at least. Also wouldn't be surprised if Owens was on the turn this year after that segment with Del Rio and Jericho. I reckon he'd be just as great if not more in that role  What a great show. Pity about the filler but good opener, MOTY candidate even with the unsatisfying finish from Styles and Cena - just stunning. Fairly good MITB match though slow-climbing, QUICK-CLIMBING!!, and spot-setting seemed way more obvious than usual for some reason, but was happy with the outcome. Main event really strong despite the two being in the wrong roles, but if Rollins was kept heel for that Ambrose cash-in, it was worth it. Ambrose may have been disappointing in some matches in recent times, but it's just common sense to give him this role and it was a great moment. Surely one of the better cash-ins.

Guest Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Owens interview before the match ripping the other heels was pretty full on face to me. Totally agree on Rollins style as well, uses too many flashy moves to wrestle heel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WyattSheepMask Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Pretty good show overall with only a couple of duds. Was really suprised when Rollins got the clean on Roman, did not see that coming at all. Is this an admission that the Reigns Project is done with? Reigns worked the whole match as a heel and did a pretty good job and seems to be much more comfortable in the role. Â Ziggler's HBK tribute act can fuck right off and I'm glad Corbin got the win. The ladder match was ok, but I didn't think it was spectacular. ADR just sucks any air of excitement out of anything for me. That Michinoku Driver on Owens onto the ladder had me cringing. Â Cena/Styles was a great match and I'd say the best on the night, only minor gripe being a soft looking ref bump. Â The tag match finished exactly as I thought it would do, but what the fuck was Gallows doing just standing there like a Hodor while Big E just picks Anderson up onto his shoulder. I get that he obviously needed to do the spot with Cass, but he just stood there like a goon for what seemed like an eternity. Â Even the women's tag match was ok, and nice to see lovely Becky Lynch back on PPV. Â I thought they should've had Rusev lock in the accolade with Titus facing his kids for the submission just to give it that little bit of story, but again that's nitpicking on my part. Titus' kid slapping on Rusev on the chest though, little prick. Â A fun watch on the whole, 8/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The King Of Swing Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Jericho was amazing in that promo. He's soooo good at being a smug little prick with an over inflated sense of importance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
