No review for this, yet? Good, because I have a lot to say about that Bayley segment. Mainly Fuck You Toronto. Listen you smug Canadian assholes who vote better than Americans, there was zero need for any of that. Here is Bayley who is legit hurt and has to give up one of the biggest spots on the second biggest show of the year trying to thank her fans for their support. And you bunch of morons decide to shit all over it. I was in Toronto for SummerSlam 2004, a PPV that still haunts me to this day. The event was awful, but so were you. They need to take away all of their PPV events run them in towns like here in Hershey PA where we held a PPV in 2005 and never got one since. We won't shit all over people to be hipster marks. Fuck you.
Anyway, good Raw. Rollins/Sheamus was a great match as was Cesaro/Ambrose. Cesaro/Ambrose was border lining MOTYC near the end. I also like Rollins walking out on Dean giving the Shield fist pump. Enzo/Cass/Show is a thing we all hope will end after SummerSlam. Braun was down for a count of 50. Why the ref didn't continue counting when Joe showed up was weird. Even weirder was restarting the count when Roman went down. Nia hurts Bayley and gets a 50/50 chance to get her spot at SummerSlam. That makes zero sense. Mickie/Sasha would be a good match and the chance of injury you would think would be low. Bock killing people is always fun especially the Miz.
The guy from Pennsylvania is going to lecture Canadians on being hipster marks and booing people.
Bayley's been getting boo's for awhile now, this is not the first time this has happened. This is due to booking, pure and simple. Yes, some crowds (like Philly) can't be contained, but the booking did no one any favors.
That office chair toss was MINT, I watched on GIF loop several times and each time I loved it. Reigns and Braun simply have great matches together.

Yea..I am.
To be fair, lotjx isn't from Philly (I think) which is the crowd from Pennsylvania that does dastardly things and lumping in all of Pennsylvania with Philly just because it's in Pennsylvania is like saying Toronto and Montreal are the same just because they are both in Canada.
In fact, the match Bayley got injured was in Pennsylvania and they didn't boo Bayley out of the arena.

I was at the show and I couldn't get over how bored I was during it. I mean, it's 2 weeks before their (arguably) 2nd biggest show of the year and it felt like such a slog to get through it.
And the fact that they are still continuing with the "Will They Or Won't They" with Rollins and Ambrose when the crowd actually woke up during that moment is just silly. No company fails up more than the WWE.

Steve Austin: "Oh shit, he actually said that? I thought the boys in the back were ribbing me!"
Kelly: "No, he really said that. Did they tell you the part about you sitting in the stands, looking all skeptical?"
Austin: "AHAHAHAHAHAHA. Yeah... oh man that was too much."

Yes, SummerSlam is FOUR BIG HOURS this year (six including the extended preshow because I know you need two hours of Rosenberg)

They did know all of us are going to be switching over at 9pm for Game of Thrones, right?! Shouldn't they start at 10pm or just end it at 9pm.

Well, it's not as if Nia is being rewarded for hurting Bayley. Your logic seems to fly in the face of the principle that WWE has pre-determined outcomes.
Sasha will win the #1 contender's match, I would assume, and get "revenge" for her "friend" Bayley being hurt. They're not gonna have heel vs. heel as the Women's Championship match.

If you suddenly had the ability to control time and space, and had the opportunity to bring in 4 of the shittiest gimmicks to wrestle in a battle royal match, who would they be?
