WWE SummerSlam 2021: Bobby Lashley takes on Goldberg
The Beast is Back!!! Let's be honest with ourselves. This is the one we have all been waiting for. Lesnar vs. Reigns with Heyman right bang in the middle. That will be awesome. An all around amazing show, defintely topped WrestleMania, yes the whole Sasha Banks piece could have been handled better, and yes Bianca Belair certaintly deserved better, but other than that, its an ace from WWE
Brock Lesnar went back to the ring and repeatedly suplexed John Cena after the show went off the air.
Cena looking a bit rusty here in the ring and that will cost him dearly as Reigns finally hits two Superman punches and a spear to pick up the win and retain his title. But wait it's not over yet!
This match is fire ! A different approach from the past John Cena vs Roman Reigns matches. Cena knows that he is going to get a thrashing by The Tribal Chief, resulting in Cena going for the roll ups. Brilliant storytelling ! What a match so far! The stadium is shaking, chants of 'this is awesome' ring around the stadium
Notice how Cena pivots his hips looking for that fireman's carry just for Roman to shift the balance with his weight advantage to get more leverage and block it. Brilliant
ACKNOWLEDGE YOUR TRIBAL CHIEF, WWE UNIVERSE
For many, John Cena has been the best wrestler in the entire history of WWE. However, it has been 2 years since he has been in a fight like this. On the other hand Roman Reigns is undoubtedly the best at the moment. Today he celebrates exactly one year with the championship.
Goldberg's battered knee gives out, and the referee finally calls it at 7:15 to give Bobby Lashley the win. Fans didn't really like that. Lashley comes in with the chair to continue whacking Goldberg to the cheers of the fans. Annnnnnnd STILL WWE Champion…All Mighty Bobby Lashley!
“The Almighty” Bobby Lashley vs Goldberg is the co-main event of the evening. Let’s see Lashley squash Goldberg and then Brock Lesnar come out as a surprise.
Edge with the Crossface! A tribute to Chris Benoit and then smashes Rollins on the mat- bringing out his dark side And then Rollins Taps out!!! Hell of a match. It's 2021 and a match just ended with a sleeper hold. Brilliant to see
Edge with a tribute to his wife Beth Phoenix and delivers the Glam Slam!!!
I love that they called back to The Brood with Edge. That's a solid use of nostalgia.
This is the moment of the night as Edge enters with the Brood music! Edge has turned back the clock by 20 years all the way to 1999?
Drew McIntyre defeats Jinder Mahal via pinfall in this the match which was just a midcard filler
American Olympic gold medallists from Tokyo 2020 Tamyra Mensah-Stock and Gable Steveson have turned up at SummerSlam. Likely signing with the WWE?
Becky Lynch defeats Bianca Belair in a SQUASH MATCH at SummerSlam. She is the New Smackdown Women's Champion !!! Well, that was anticlimactic that could have been a great match. Even though the quick buildup to it was exciting the match was over way too fast for that high-caliber match.
THIS ARENA JUST CAME UNGLUED AND 40K SCREAMING FANS ! THE POPS KEEP COMING, BECKY LYNCH IS BACK IN WWE!! THE MAN IS BACK IN VEGAS!!!!!
The fifth fight of the night and the SmackDown women's championship is at stake. Rivalry that seemed to have disappeared, but now it is more personal, we will see what happens and who will have the title in their hands. But wait a min! Bianca was supposed to defend the SmackDown Women’s Title against Sasha Banks but she is now set to defend against Carmella That was a very weird way to communicate that Sasha Banks was out of this match.
It seemed like Nakamura had a match possibly against Apollo but it was just a quick entrance concert and the woman's match between Bianca and Sasha looks next
The SmackDown Tag Team Titles remain with the Bloodline! Rey was the one to take the pinfall... interesting to see how that is played out between father and son. SummerSlam has been a solid show so far. Alexa beat Eva in a short match. Priest won the US title. And the Usos retained over the Mysterios.
Damian Priest def Sheamus to become the new United States Champion. That Priest/Sheamus match could’ve had a little more going in the first but the last few moments were pretty cool. Good on them giving Priest the belt. Belts are changing hands tonight. SummerSlam rocking so far.
Alexa Bliss is one of the most talented wrestlers and its nice watching her wrestle. Every gimmick she has done she has nailed it out of the park hands-down and also I got mad love for Lilly. She wins her contest at SummerSlam but will she able to carry her momentum?
Randy Orton hits the RKO on Styles and we've got new Raw Tag Team Champions! RKBro! What a way to kick-off SummerSlam. The audience seems nicely warmed up as RK-Bro gets a title win in the PPV opener.
The matches have been made, the time is here.
Big E def. Baron Corbin via pinfall. Big E pinned Baron Corbin following a Big Ending in the Kickoff Show match. Big E took back his Money in the Bank briefcase after the match.
One of the biggest wrestling events of the year goes down on Saturday night when WWE SummerSlam takes place from Las Vegas' Allegiant Stadium. The 10-match card includes seven championship matches. Stay tuned for all live updates.
