Official Summerslam 2023 Thread 8/5/23

[Busby]

That finish to the main event just proves that Cody should have won the title at Mania. The title DOES NOT need to be in this Bloodline storyline.

Cody could have had the title and they could have done this very same storyline beat for beat.

I’m so annoyed cause they really pulled that shyt and managed to jump the shark with this storyline

And I can’t even blame Vinny Mac for this one cause that man is crippled and ducking from the feds. This is on and his crew..

It makes NO DAMN SENSE FOR JIMMY TO GO HEEL. It’s a swerve just for the hell of a swerve to milk this storyline out..

This is most likely leading to a damn fatal 4 way at Survivor Series with his cousins where Roman STILL wins. This is some Kliq shyt type of politicking that Roman did. Not even mad at him cause his whole family eats.

But at this point he is holding that belt hostage…

 

[Big Jo]

I still think Sami should have won in canada

 

[ALTRUISM]

The only explanation that would make sense is Jimmy being forced/sent by the elders to keep Roman as the Tribal Chief.


Imagine the elders are run like a Mafia council that Jey has to dismantle.

 

[MrLogic]

Man i forgot about that shyt playing Baldurs gate 3


had to catch the replay



why jimmy why


Roman most gonna drop the belt to Jey at WM since all the cards are stack on Jey


slow burn story line

 

[WMG the 2nd]

I went it was hype
That La knight and Seth was the loudest reactions. Iyo cashing in was loud as fukk too

 

[WMG the 2nd]

I feel like if they put the Battle Royal on the pre show that would have saved them some time

Those fans wasn’t gonna miss out on LA Knight. They were chanting “Yeah” 6:30 like an hour before the show lol

 

[WMG the 2nd]

Nah it was a disrespectful amount in the building lol I felt bad
They got “boring” chants too

 

[mannyrs13]

whats interesting is how in the press conference Heyman said they only in the third inning with this whole bloodline thing. who knows where they'll go next. i do wonder with Kevin Owens likely being hurt, if they'll involve Sami again to some extent. On some I told you so shyt to Jey, or if they'll dead all that & Sami would forget about Jey completely after Jey sided with the bloodline over him. Or could there be other wrestlers that fill into the storyline on some tagging with Jey against the bloodline type shyt? doubt they can just run Jey vs each member of the bloodline every time. the next ppv is payback so I can see Jey wanting to get that on Jimmy. Not sure that be as marquee a matchup as like a mania or other major ppv but we shall see what they do. and what could happen with solo, or is jimmy even back with the bloodline. might end up being a fatal fourway being built up for survivor series.

 

[MenacingMonk]

That was a good high flying opener. Not too much flippy shyt but enough aerial moves.

 

[LordDeathwatch]

Don't get happy she losing that one as well.

14x Champion, we can afford a few Ls. Unfortunately your favorites can't say the same.

 

[ECA]

Yeah that main event sucked. This shyt is like Marvel after Endgame

• Brandon Thurston asked Triple H about Vince McMahon’s recovery from surgery and his current creative involvement. Triple H said he didn’t know McMahon’s recovery as he’s not a doctor.

LA Knight

• When asked if tonight was a long time coming, Knight replied that in a weird way, this has been an amazingly fast climb. He said he always knew that he had something to give. Says he’ll strap the rocket to himself.

Paul Heyman

• When asked “what inning are we in,” Heyman said that they are “at the bottom of the third” and the storyline hadn’t even hit its stride yet. He said that it was The Bloodline storyline that has caused WWE’s business boom.

Paul 'Triple H' Levesque

• Triple H said that this year’s SummerSlam was the highest grossing SummerSlam in the history of WWE, as well as the highest grossing PLE outside of WrestleMania. He also said it was likely that this event will be the most-watched SummerSlam ever on Peacock.
• He said that the Cody/Brock Lesnar handshake and hug after the match was not a planned part of the show.
• Triple H mentioned that there were rumors about "matches being cut" from SummerSlam. He said that nothing was cut, and that if you don't have more stuff than you need, you've failed. He said that sometimes there is too much stuff going on, and SummerSlam was already “plenty long” as is.

• Brandon Thurston asked Triple H about Vince McMahon’s recovery from surgery and his current creative involvement. Triple H said he didn’t know McMahon’s recovery as he’s not a doctor.

Thurston always thinks he’s gonna land some big gotcha question and then it never happens

 

[T'Challa Trillmonger]

if they take the "jimmy is the oldest brother who always had to protect his younger twin - this is for his own good" angle it could still work within the bloodline storyline

but it'd make more sense if jimmy wasnt also bucking the tribal hierarchy with his brother lol
