Once again, we will give you our rating of the show You guessed it right, it's bad. Was this the SummerSlam? It looked like a mid-week Raw or SmackDown episode. Let's Review. First fight - Seth Rollins vs Dolph Ziggler. Presence of Dean Ambrose made it so good. And the two superstars in the ring are just at their peak. Exciting match. But hey, first fight of the night? Wasn't this the main event of your previous pay-per-view, Vince? And oh, everyone expecting an Ambrose heel turn - Nope, WWE too scared to do it. Randy Orton comes out expectedly to attack Jeff Hardy. But then he walks back. Too scared to do it. Oh, the Demon King Finn Balor is here - for 2 minutes. WWE too scared to do it longer than that. All divas gather to celebrate Rousey's win - which happened after 3 minutes of drama and 30 seconds of action. Will divas gather to attack Rousey before WWE Evolution? Nope, too scared to do it. Braun Strowman comes out to cash in his contract - Nope, WWE too scared to do it yet again. The Miz vs Daniel Bryan was dull, as well. And of course, Roman Reigns is the new Universal Champion - so that's predictable. So, many opportunities wasted by WWE.
Thank god for Samoe Joe, who made the WWE title match exciting with his mic skills. And AJ Styles reaction was exquisite. And Becky's heel turn was fresh and hopefully it brings some new life to Smackdown's women's locker room.
