WWE Main Event Review w/Daniel R

For some reason, when I was recording it got set to my laptop microphone rather than my normal microphone, and that's why the sound quality wasn't as good as hopefully it is. Now I've double checked it and I think that I do have the correct microphone in I guess I'll find out after we do this review. But yeah, Summer Slam coming up, so we'll also be previewing that as well and essentially giving our predictions or my predictions as to what I think is going to happen there.

There's a lot of moving parts and a lot of potential matches as well. But before we begin, this hasn't happened on the main event, but Nick Olders has announced the six man tables, ladders and chairs tag team match, So we're finally getting the whole tag team division going up against each other, which is something that I was hoping to see at WrestleMania, but now we're going to be seeing this at at SummerSlam, which is which is quite awesome and I'm very keen for it.

so I thought i'd addressed that before. Obviously, we talk about main Event, and we also talk about the segments on Raw, a very promo heavy main event with the Raw cuts, so we're going to be discussing those promos there as well, which which perfectly tie into Summer Slam too. But before we begin that, we'll start with the first main event match. We had Penter back on main Event, which.

defeating Greyson Waller there, who was mocking Austin Theory. It does seem that as though Austin Theory is not going to be coming back, so they're officially split up, but it hasn't been in a way where we've seen them kind of feud, so maybe that will happen when he gets back, but for now, Greyson Waller becomes a solo star. Looks like he's sort of teaming up with the New Day, but he hasn't really done much on the main roster anyway,

so this is not going to help his momentum. And with no Austin Theory around, I don't see anything for him at the moment till he comes back and until they have that feud that everyone's waiting for that will finally and hopefully push Austin Theory to doing something that is significant like Vince McMahon did for him. He's still young, and I think this this feud will kind of elevate him there if I'm honest. But for Penser, he gets the victory here, brings out two kids with his penter masks.

I don't know if they're his sons or not, but they come into the ring and sort of do a bit of said Amedo stuff.

Summer Slam. The only way that I would have saw him potentially go into Summer Slam is a few with Adgande a Medicano, and I think that's the only way that match could occur for him to be on SummerSlam, because it's crazy to think that Pens is not going to be on there, given that he's just arrived onto

the scene and has been impactful. Yes, he's not really pushed it to the next level in terms of main eventing shows or beating the main superstars or the high level superstars, but he's done a really good job in that mid card to like high end card roaming around that area. And it's just crazy that he won't get a Summer Slam match, and I think getting one with Al Grande Americana is what will make the most sense now.

interesting as well. It is Kaiser, so I don't know if it's gonna be obviously Kaiser taking on Penter, but I'd love to see Kaiser and Chad Gable go at it against each other as like both Algrando and Medicanos. That that would be quite that would be quite a spectacle to see. But I think for Penter to get on Summer Slam, he should be able to urse Algrinde Americana.

They've had their feuds, doesn't seem like they've wrestled each other since Pencer take On took on Chad Gable without the mask, So that would make the most sense and that would get Penter onto Summer Slam. But if he's not on there, that's gonna be a bit of a concern for me because on a two night event, in the biggest event of the summer, him not being on there is just is quite It's quite surprising. But anyway, we move on to Raw, where we have seam Punk

entering the ring, so he opens the show. I'm pretty sure on Raw, but on main event it's obviously the second segment he gets his good pop. He basically mentioned that he won the Gaunt match to earn a shot at Gunster's world title. He says that Gunha is one of the best in the world and he's looking forward to locking up with him. He said he can't promise a win, but he'll promise he'll leave it all in

the ring. And one thing I had to kind of comment on that was that Punk never ever has gone into a match and said that he can't promise a win. So I'm not sure if this promo is just trying to make Gunher stronger than hears or is he trying to just be the underdog in this. But I don't really like this angle that Punk's going with him being the underdog and sort of trying to make Gunthera look good as well.

a really good job. But normally, when the injury is legit and there isn't an actual injury, there is a diagnosis, and it's normally media outlets that are obviously not part of WWE report this, and there hasn't been any reports, So I'm leaning more to the side that Seth Rolins

is going to have an involvement here. Maybe he catches in his money in the bank, or maybe he turns on cmpunk, But just something to look out for there, because there doesn't seem to be any news on it, and I don't want to downplay the fact that he could get injured. It's just unusual to not hear anything. And the way the injury happened was obviously looked legit and obviously look like he was in pain and obviously

gave up the match. So just something that I'm kind of sort of saw in this, and basically, yeah, he did mention this, and then going on he said he only has two weeks to get ready for the Beast or this Beast, but he's been training his whole life and he's prepared because see and Punk is seeing Punk. But Gunthera comes out and basically dresses out in black. He's got that nice suit. I love when he wears a suit. It just means he's business. Oh anywhar the

suit today? Sorry he had a black shirt, but every time he dresses black, it's so good to see. He had to stay down with Punk they had the new tapped out chance and basically went on to say that Punk has a massive ego. Guansa also has a massive ego.

They're not there to make friends, there to win championships or Punk did say he was there to win to can make money as well, But then Guanha says that whatever happens on the bell, after the bell rings, he'll make Punk regret he ever stepped into the ring and basically said that Punk the only thing that Punk will have is the fans chaining for the rest of his life, and then left and yeah, they have two weeks to kind of build this promo, all this feud up and

then kind of put promo on each other. But there just doesn't seem to be any personal attachment to this.

So it leads me to believe more that there is more value of Sephron's coming into the ring and screwing Punk over because it would just be unusual or kind of weird to see Punk just full out feud with Gunshah when there's nothing personal involved in here, and the build up to the match isn't exciting, and it's not because of these two individuals, because obviously the turnaround time from that, and also knowing that Punk is approaching this as if it's business, and Punk is much better when

it comes to having personal feuds. I think when he's able to really go on the mic and pull out some crazy promos, and he could do that with Guanha, but Gunha hasn't given him a reason to yet. So maybe on the next episode of Raw this might spice up a bit, But at the moment, I think, yeah, I think Gunsa looks the more confident and the bigger man as Punk tries to do this under kind of

persona as well. And then we get onto the next promo where we have Becky Lynch coming in basically flexing that should be in New York for the premiere of the new movie.

It was very nostalgic, great to see Becky Lynch in it, but also great to see mjf as well, who was portrayed as one of habi Gilmore's sons, and I think he did a really good job in this and it was cool to see him there. So awesome to see wrestlers kind of hitting the acting scene and always like Adam Sandeler bringing in cameos from different parts of the world, not just from the acting world. So that was an

awesome movie. I highly recommend it if you have watched the first one, but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone that hasn't watched the first one because they won't really understand the nostalgic feel to it.

They said that they are one one in singles competition, so this is the rubber match, and basically Lynch said that if Lara loses, she can never challenge for this title, which.

her entrance for the match. The match happens straight after between the judgment days Raquel and Roxanne for the title. The match is pretty solid. We have Dirty dom on the side ring and he comes in. He tries to make his presence known by distracting Bailey and then pretty much racal axidently kick Dominic after the Lyra move, and as he did that, the medical team came to check on and it was actually Aj Styles, And I have to say Aj Styles for this whole kind of build

up to Summer Slam has been simply amazing. Him being a part of the medical team, the cleaning staff and then even doing the prayers for Dominic to get the match because obviously Dominic wasn't cleared has been so good and I think Aj has done a really good job in kind of making this feud a nice build up and also being really funny as well. But that was also another good example of that being the medical staff. Dominique does run away Becky Lynch then and the background

pulls Lyra off the apron. Bailey didn't see it, and as Bailey and Roxanne tried to get some pin attempts, she hits a value to balle On Perez. Then Racque actually made the blind tag, hits Bailey with the tapahana bum and wins the match and they give the pin

to Rocca Rodriguez again. So ever since Ria Ripley's match with her in that street fight, it feels as though that Roquel has kind of elevated big time and she's getting these pins and victories, and it looks like ww are making her feel as though she is a big women's powerhouse, which is great to see. They'll build momentum obviously for them to defend the title, so it does make sense as to why they won the match. I wasn't surprised there. The way they did it was perfect.

Becky Lynch distracting Lyra there and who knows, maybe Bailey might be frustrated because of that, And we'll have a say at SummerSlam, but we'll have.

year since Kianu Jains has been back. If I'm honest, I don't really know too much about what she's done on NXT and haven't seen her for a while, but it's great to see obviously women's talent back and this match was all about her just getting back into it, so didn't expect her to beat me Chin, and Michien did get the victory with to eat the feet, but the match went pretty long and it looked as though that Kanna James didn't miss a beat and her injury

doesn't seem to affect her as much. Obviously she was wearing the knee brace. But yeah, and I think what's happening for her now is if you look at SmackDown, she's going to be representing Julia as I guess an attorney or an advisory and I think that might mainly have to do with the fact that Julia has a bit of a language barrier, so someone to be on the mic for her. I think Keana James can do a really good job at that.

some Slam. It might be disqualification or something. Who knows, But yeah, Michin getting the victory here. I don't know why they gave her the victory, and I still don't know why she's a single star either. She was sort of teaming up with BFAB for a bit and you thought maybe they could push for Tag Team Gold or they could be part of that division. But now all of a sudden, BFAB has just decided to just team up with the Street Profits again as a manager. So

don't really know how that happened. I thought they were finished working with each other, and then all of a sudden, she becomes the manager of their team again, which was quite random, and it just kind of disregarded Mechin altogether and at that partnership that they sort of had. The only reason why I think Beefab probably went back is because of the fact that Ken Slarray is part of DIY and then you've got Nicky Cross part of the White Six, so just trying to get some female integration

there to just sort of manage stuff. So I suspect that those three are probably gonna go into an altercation during Summer Slam in that tag team.

that has been confirmed. Pretty cool again that that feud has been quite awesome, especially given that they haven't even needed to sort of pull promos in a ring or even attack each other. Until that moment, it's been quite funny, and I think they did a really great job, the both of them, to sort of build that up.

He told Haymond comes in straight away, says that he doesn't want to be disrespectful and rude, and he said that he didn't ever want to be where it seems like it would be disrespectful rude, like someone poorn in Texas. That was a pretty funny heel promo there. He claimed that seth Rons is going to be out of action for a long long time.

just a dumbass. That's when bron Breaker starts crashing out and Hayman has to hold him back. He then tells Brin that Hayman will take all the credit when he is the man around here. So basically Roman Rain's giving kind of the green light and sort of passing the torch moment to bron Breaker, saying and acknowledging him as someone that's going to be the main guy. So they're really putting the rocket on bron Breaker as well. But then he mentions that Haymond wasn't the one that created

the tribal Chief. He said that he's the tribal chief because the fans still acknowledge him, and Rain said that he's the greatest champion to ever step foot in the ring and Roman Rain Haymond did say he had a part in that, but he said that the usso's had a part in it, Sola had a part in it,

and Sammy even helped out. So he said that when he lost the titles, he went home to continue the blood line, the future bloodline, and said that Hayman thought the bloodline was the wrestling group, but you can't create it because it was God's work.

the ring. He says that he knows that Hayman went stabbed him in the back because bron actually holds value and says that Rains is worthless and basically told him to leave, and then Roman just says they didn't hear any of the trash that Broun said, tosses the microphone and they go on to have a bit of a brawl. Rains hits the Superman punch, then hits Read with a

few punches and then that's when Rains gets outnumbered. And that's when as he was about to set up for a tsunami, jay Us comes into the ring, super kicks both of them, hits a jumping kick on Reid, punches Brown and they were back.

group not being strong enough. I think that needs to be easily given to them, and I think that WW will do that and give them the victory for sure. Then the next match we're going to review is the Intercontinental Championship with Dominic and aj I. Suspect Dominic Pastia will retain the title whether now the Judgment Day gets involved or not. It's going to lead up to an

eventual match between Dominique and Finbala for sure. I know that the Judgment Day is looking really strong at the moment, but that's due to sort of fall apart in the next few months or so, even though maybe up to WrestleMania. But will that match will happen? And I just don't see aj Styles winning the title here just doesn't really make sense. I think Dominic has a lot to offer as a heel champion and I feel like he needs

to have a really solid run with the title. And it's much deserved too that Dominic has it as a heel as someone that is a cheat and dirty.

want to push him to higher levels as well. But I'm quite enjoying Solo's gimmick and I feel like he does deserve to have that championship around his waist as well. So hopefully he does win. And if you want Fartu to kind of elevate you, you put him onto bigger and better things. You have them fighting one more time. If the outcome is for Fartu to win the championship in the end, I feel like the best way to

do it is that Summer Slam. But even if not, find a way to sort of get him away from the mid Card Belt and push him on to the higher cards. Well, I think he's what he deserves. We get the Women's Tag Team Championship match between the Judgment Day Charlotte Flane Alexa Bliss. I very much think that

Charlote Flairne Alexibliss will win the match. I think there's a lot for them to offer with this kind of new friendship for me and Charlotte in this role just seems to be stress free and looks like she's actually having fun again, and the fans are taking her side as well, and that's something that no one would have

expected to happen so quick, especially after WrestleMania. I think when Charlotte Flair is having fun and she's not too much involved in the titles, and I'm not saying she doesn't have to go for titles again, but right now, I don't think it's her time having a feud like this with someone that she's been in the business for for a long time. Two staples of the women's division, two legends and probably the most veteran leaders in the

locker room right now and the longest tenured women. It makes sense for them to be together and to sort of have fun in this right and I think they're both doing a great job in there, and it's making everyone sort of love Charlotte Flair more, love Alexa Bliss even more, and I think titles around their waist will be pretty cool to see, and so I think they'll get the victory there. We have the next match, which is the Women's in Continental Championship. No counters don't just qualifications.

Becky Lynch and Lara Valkyria. I'm leaning towards Lara Valkira getting the victory here just because I think they've elevated her really highly in this feud, and I think the outcome should be that she beats speculating, especially with that stipulation that if she does lose, she'll never be able to challenge for the title again, I just don't see how that will be possible. Every time they put that stipulation, it never really happens. So I think Lara gets the

victory here. If Becky Lynch does win, it's because Bailey gets involved somehow, but I think that will lean to something between those two. I think Becky and Bailey haven't finished their feud, so do they.

I'm going to be extremely frustrated. I do much prefer McIntyre and Logan Portal win just because I just hate the idea of seeing Randy Orden in a match with a celebrity. And that's nothing against Jelly Roll personally, it's

just the status of Randy Orden. Two Summer Slam matches that he's had and quite frankly a great match with Johanne Jury and it was awesome to see that, but it was literally a two minute match because Kevin Nolan's got injured and now he's going to do celebrity loving and taking it and helping Jelly Roll get a victory where I don't I don't think why Jelly Roll is actually in this match to begin with, but anyway, I

won't talk too much about that. Hopefully Jelly Roll proves me wrong and he can perform on in the ring. But again, they'll get the victory here, I think for that feel good feeling, but I don't think it's it's deserved.

again we'll have to wait and see. Hopefully the match will be just as good as the Triple Threat match was when we watched that after WrestleMania. And then we get the Women's Championship match between Tiffany Stratton and Jake Cargole. I expect Jay Cargo to win here. I think WW is really pushing Jake Cargo to be the face of the women's division and walk better way to start that than getting a victory against Tiffany Stratten.

know too much to say about that. I think everyone's sort of tired of er Skiversuary Ripley, not them as individual women's superstars, but for them just continuing to compete for the championship, just I think it's time that we move off that. And Erskyne Ri Ripley have proven to do a lot of work and have done enough to prove that they're worth that. So don't think Naomi is going to who was, especially given that she just won the belt like two weeks ago.

he might take on Sena at Crown Jewel. That might be something that could occur, But I just don't see Seampunk winning the title. I think this feud hasn't built up to anything for sampunk to take it. I think if he did, it have to be a more significant feud or it'd have to happen at WrestleMania. And I just feel as though that Seth Rowlins is going to have a say in this just because I haven't heard anything that's just out of that field.

I'm glad we're able to see John Cena as a heel, but it's really hard to really believe that he is a true heel given that no one boos him and it's just John Sena's even struggling with it, like he's doing his best to try to get people to boo him, but when everyone knows he's about to finish his career in five months, it's really hard to not support him. So Cody Rhods obviously wants to verse that John Cena. It's good that they're sort of sprinkling that John Cena

could make a return to being a babyface. The way they'll do it, We'll have to wait and see eventually that's going to happen. I don't think he's going to finish his career as a heel. I think that when he turns babyface, everyone will just be will be pretty happy as well, and they kind of know that.

same kind of insignificant run. John Cena won't get his rematch, and there really isn't anyone for Cody Roads at the moment. The only one that potentially is is that Food of Friends Ordon, But I think we can wait toll when John Cena finishes there, so John Cena will retain the title. How he'll win while was being the cheating matter, Maybe someone will return. There might be a big surprise there, but we'll have to wait and see. But it's been

and that concludes. Actually the main Event review followed by the SummerSlam preview, which I'm extremely excited for two nights hopefully try to because normally record these Monday night in Australia that's when SummerSlam will finish. So once that's done, I will review the two matches on Main Event and basically review all the matches that happen on SummerSlam and see how I go with my predictions. If I've missed

any matches, apologies for that. From the time of recording, there hasn't been any other matches I believe that have been set up, so I think I've covered all of them so far, but again, yeah, really excited to see SummerSlam and then next week there's probably going to be Survivor series. That's how quick WW is moving at the moment. But yeah, really exciting times for wrestling with SummerSlam being a two night event for the first time, so really

keen for that. But again, thank you so much for tuning in and I'll catch you guys next week.
