WWE Main Event Review w/Daniel R.

and the feuds already setting up a few matches. We know that we've got the match between Randy Ordan, Logan Porvos Logan Ball Drew mcintile with Jelly Roll, which I've given my opinions on that just don't like the idea of seeing Randy Orton Andrew mcintie for that matter, in a match like this. As well, last week we confirmed that Johnson and Cody Rod will be taking on each

other in the street fright. That one's great. It's great to see John Coner actually competing in a match that isn't just a standard match, a bit of no disqualifications. Let's see if he does actually take any tables or chess spots. I know he took obviously the table spot on the latest SmackDown, but we'll see if he takes some more pain in this match. We also got a still cage match Solus Sicola taking on Jack if two.

I also like that, and some women's matches confirmed Becky Lynch taking on Laura Valkyria, and we've also got the triple Threat match, which we will talk about on this review. But yeah, the matches are coming in quite fast. I suppose we'll have more coming up. Obviously, Dominicque Stei and ah Styles most likely go ahead at SummerSlam two. But yeah, we'll more have come and I guess more to review in the future episodes if they are obviously premiered on Raw.

But going into the first main event match, we had Ivanel taken on Maxine Duprix. So these two longtime friends going back at it in the ring. It feels as though that they never really had a real program since ivan Il did turn on Maxine Duprix and join the American Maid So it's good to see them back in the ring again. But this is ivan OL's third straight

victory against Maxine Deprix. It seems as though that Maxine de Prix, despite the improvements she's made in the ring, which are massive improvement, she looks a lot more confident in there, and the fact that she is the youngest superstar and the fact that a lot of fans really enjoy her and she gets pretty decent pops on main event. Doesn't get the victory here and it comes out of way that you sort of think that it's protecting her

with Ivy Nail's foot on the robes. But no momentum for Maxine Depre and it seems as though no momentum for her mental and Natalia either, as those two are not going near the tag team division either. I did forget to mention Charlotte Flann Alexa Blizz is going up against Racal and Roxanne for the title, But these guys have no involvement in that whatsoever. They're a newly formed

tag team. They haven't really gone or continued off the fact that Maxines cost them opportunities, and yeah, they're not really getting anything on the main stage, so I think Natalia has just settled to be a mentor. But again,

no victory here. I think what would make this interesting is if Natalia turns on Maxine dupri as well as probably the only way we could see Maxine getting over is getting the upper hand against a veteran in Natalia, because at the moment, if she's taking losses on main event to ive nal, then that cause for concern personally because she's supposed to be getting these victories so that we're able to lean on her more. Hopefully she gets on a main show because she's still young and she's

got the fan backing and she's making improvements. So not really sure why creative and not rewarding him here, But I mean, I gets the victory and it doesn't really matter for her because we know she's not really going to do much. We know she's not going to compete for an intercontinental women's title, so don't really understand the

russianale behind not giving Maxine the victory here. And yeah, I think it's just another mistake here unless the only way with like Superstars that expected to win, don't win, is to create more frustration and see how we react as fans and seeing where the pool and fans are getting, Like I know they did that with carrying across a bit and it seems to be working really well, so maybe they're doing the same from vaccine depri They want that reaction from us to see whether we like her

or not, whether we're upset if she wins or losers, and a lot of people are, so it's good to see. Maybe that might be out of a benefit for her, so we'll keep track of that. But ivan Ill does get the victory there. We didn't get a wrap up of Saturday and it's main event and Evolution, which goes on for a few minutes honestly, but nothing really important.

But the first segment of raw starts with Naomi coming into the ring basically pulling a promo and saying that the fans, obviously we're cheering for her and giving her you deserve a chance, but she didn't want to hear it given that they weren't filling the glow, which is so true. I love how Naomi came out and addressed this. It's great to get that reception from the fans obviously, but sticking to her heel character here was the right move. And to say that people were obviously now switching up

on her and they weren't feeling the glow. It's true, no one was, and everyone's feeling this at the moment, but Naomi is not buying into that, and we're really happy with her character here. She also mentions that no one expects her first move. Everyone expected her to catch on Tiffany Straden. Well, I didn't expect her to catch

on Triptany Stradden. I was surprised that she did go for this title and catching in evolution, But again she mentions that, and she also mentions that Bianco Bellair shegrew her, So some bit of tension there with Bianco Bellair. Maybe we'll see a program with them. I mean, last time Bianca Bellair was competing, she was on Raw promoting pretty much Nami is replacing her at the moment, but was

in that Wrestlemana triple threat match on Raw. So maybe we'll see Bianca Bella come back, and that might lead us to think that Naomi won't lose the title. Surely not on her first Summer Slam match, but She goes on to say that, and then rear Ripley comes into the ring mentions that she is upset and that Naomi's on her hit list, and then that's when obviously Skuy

comes in. It's funny when Corey Grave says that yes, guy's got to be disappointed, and you just see her smiling and shaking the hands of everyone else, and I think that's just er guy is the mean. She can't come in looking too angry. She wants she's entertainment, she's a show woman and wants to give the fans that to them. But at the same time, obviously you still want her to look a bit upset given that she also got pinned and lost her title in that way.

But she tells Ripley to get in the back of the line and they get into a bit of an argument. Naomi says, you're all the way at the back of the line and none of them are going to compete. But that's when Adam Pearce comes in announces that triple threat match. So we're basically getting Naomi replacing Banker Bellat

and another triple threat match here. So another match where we see real Ripley and Er Skuy going up against each other, where we can imagine that name is going to retain the title, but another a monster class between those two is what's going to be expected. Let's see what happens when Bianca Balaa kind of gets involved, because I do suspect that she will was mentioned, but again, loving this name character. I like that idea that she's

on raw as well. A bit of a change and a mix up for her and suits her character really well. She is killing it ever since she's turned heel, and a lot of people have called out, including myself, for her to have a heel turn, and she's doing so well. And some of the stuff I like is she's able to kind of transition from the glow to proceeding with caution, which is a great catch line, is another great mimic,

and that cynical laugh is quite impressive as well. Plus her mind skills are extremely impressive and she seems a lot more confident being a heel on the mic too, so it's great to see. We then have the two out of three fourths match between Lyra and Beck and Bailey Sorry, where obviously Lara gets the victory. We had Bailey get the first pin, which when you get the first pin, you know that you're going to lose, especially

a hump. The way these matches are kind of constructed, we had her getting the first pin and then Lara getting the second, and then getting the nightwing and getting the victory here, I believe so, and I think it was a roll up actually, But Becky comes out to the ring and basically flexes her title and we're going to see her and Larra go at it once again.

Starting to get sick of this program, but I think this is the essentially the rubber match between these two, and I think this is where Laura Valkyria will get her Summer Slam moment. Becky and Bailey have done a really good job in pushing Laura Valkyria through this program. It's really shown that Lara is becoming her own and is really putting a stamp on her I guess popularity and also her her ability and her quality as well

and being named one of the biggest stars. It seems as though that there's going to be a lot for her and I think another solid run with her being the Women's Intercontinental Champion will be great for her, and I think that's what's going to happen at SummerSlam. It's all leading up to that, it feels, especially taking on

Bailey and then now taking on Becky. We might see a Bailey Hill turn, who knows, but there's not much for her to do now as Summer Slam, given that this food is over, and it feels as though we haven't really seen Becky and Bailey go at it one on one with a result there as well, since Laura and Valkia costed the match there was a disqualification there.

We still need a program for those two, so hopefully we get one, given that they are the original four horse women from n XT coming up together and there was some tension there, especially given that Becky costed Bailey her Wrestlemanium and then the opportunity to win those Women's Take Team championships. So again we'll have to look out for that one. But at the moment, Bailey hasn't got a SummerSlam opponent, so that's going to be an interesting

thing to kind of look out for there. Maybe she'll become a special guest referee, or she'll be a mentor to to Larra. Who knows, we'll find out, I guess before SummerSlam. Now we then get back to the main event, where we have Austin's Theory taking on a Medicano, a much taller Algandamericana, obviously that being Kaiser. Do I like this? Not really. I feel bad for Kaiser, given that he is a superstar of great potential and talent. I don't know why they're choosing him to wear the mask. I

think Chad Gable is legit injured. Maybe that's probably why, but I much prefer Chad Gable as Alejander a Medicano, and I guess the fact that our Grand Americana can literally be anyone is what's probably good about the character. But I think Chad Gable just hones it the best and Kaiser doesn't really do too much of a good job in there, but I guess it's part of the joke that's going on. He takes on Austin Theory, and like Maxine Deprie, they don't reward Austin Theory or for

win here. They give Algernonde Metakana the win and he remains undefeated, which is probably why they did it. But Austin Theory gets another loss, and obviously he's now looking to be a babyface. They still haven't really addressed the formal breakup of him and Grace and Waller, which is what I'm really waiting for. But I just don't see why they would give him a lost like he's young, he's upcoming. Bis McMahon really really trusted him, so don't

don't understand the reason here. But again, maybe it's because they want to make a gander Kin remain undefeated. I don't know. But Austin Theory this doesn't help him again, But again, as I mentioned with Maxin Duprix, if fans continue to remain frustrated, then he might be something that's better for him as well. But the way that obviously Grande gets the victory is putting the plate into his

forehead and giving Austin Theory the head buck there. And he continues to get really good pops of main events. From the main events I've been reviewing, he's clearly been one of the ones that have had the highest pops, are the loudest pops. Obviously, when carrying a cross was on there for a few weeks, he was getting massive,

massive pops. But Austin Theory is getting huge pops as well, considering it is the main event shows, so something that I think WW needs to push as well, and I think the Grayson Waller feud will help that as well when they actually decide to formally split these two up. And I hope that's bloody soon because I've been waiting a very very long time for that and I think

everyone has too, and it still hasn't happened. We're almost there, We're pretty much there, but it just hasn't actually happened yet where you've seen Grayson Waller attack Theory from behind or they have a feud between each other. So let's look at for that. Hopefully, if Austin Theory gets back on main event, he gets a victory and then we

can go from there. We then have a little bit of a backstage primo with Paul Hayman, Bronson Reid, and bron Breaker, basically Paul Hayman saying that Seth Rolins has until next June to catch in, which is a very good point. It is a very very long time for Seth Rolins to catch in, and I think with his knee injury, I suppose he'll be back before that. So even if he comes back at the latest Dunion, he can just come in, cash in and win the title

as well. And as I said last week, I may have thought that it's tough for Seth Rollins to leave at this time, but it really gives an opportunity for bron Breaker to step up and it kind of accelerates his development a lot more. I wasn't too happy with bron Breaker just being a security guard, and I know that eventually that was going to not happen and that was going to change and bron Breaker was going to take the reins and be the face of the front

of the doing industry for a long time. But it looks like that's going to be accelerated and massively here leading the Helm. He did really well in that Gordon match. He eliminated four opponents, which was great. Obviously main event cuts to the match as Smith transition, but straight to when jay Ulso gets eliminated. That was with the help of Bronson Reid. Before that, he makes quick work of Penta and then he makes decent work of alle Night

as well. So he does he does a pretty good job Sorr three opponents, not four he eliminated because he did come up against seeing Punk and with the help of j Usso combating Bronson Reid. Punk gets the victory here, which is what I expected would happen, and he's going to go up against Gunther at Summer Slam, so that leaves Punk and Gunther two. As I've probably forgot to mention as well, So a lot of these matches are

pretty much getting closed up. There's probably a few more to get to get finalized, but we've got Punks and we've got Gunther at Summer Slam too, And before I get to the stuff that happened after that, I will

talk about that match. I don't really know who's gonna win, because I think they could give it to Punk, but Gunsa has been on a tremendous run and he just got his title back, so I don't know if I would see Gunther losing given that he's been on a tear at the moment, But it is seeing Punk and seeing Punk breaking through and getting a victory would be fantastic as well. And what could potentially happen is maybe

Punk wins, and I've seen little rumors of it. I still don't think it's true, but maybe we might see seth Rowlans come back and cash in on Punk. That would be a bit of a spanner in the works. There are rumors that he's faking the injury, but I hope they're wrong, and I think they are. But we haven't really heard much on the news of whether Seph Rowlins has been injured or not. But the way he's the way he went down, it looked like it was

a legit injury because you can't. You can't just get injured doing a flip selling and getting the doctors there and giving la night at the victory. It just didn't It just didn't make sense for it to be fake. So again, we'll have to see. But if that happened, that would be quite interesting. If not, don't really see how Gunsa doesn't drop the title. But with Sampunk, you don't know. So that's probably the one where, Yeah, I've got no clue what's going to happen, but it will

be a really good match. It's great to see guns actually taking on someone that is of high status of Sampunk. Ever since he had the belt, he hasn't really defended it against massive opposition. I know they tried to hype Jus as one but not a legend like Sampunk, and obviously it was Goldberg, but that doesn't count because he's not in his He's only his prime, So Sampunk and

Gun through at SummerSlam will be great. We then have as them two are kind of looking at each other knowing that they're going to take each other on at Summerslant, Bronson Reed hits Sampung from behind and Breaker spears Jay and as they're basically about to set them up for a double tsunami, the OTC returns Roman reigns, so he's back pretty much expected, Like, you can't get too surprised for a Roman Reign return, but you can be really

happy when he does come back. Given his schedule is quite If I had that work schedule, I'd be loving my life. There's the money he's getting. But right around the corner from Summerslame, it makes sense that he comes back. He makes quick work of Bronson Red with a superman punch, and then he does the same to bron Break. I believe if not attacks him, Oh drags him down. That's right. He drags him down, starts hitting him, and then comes

back into the ring. But we see Roman Rains lift him up for some old drop, showing some great power. Ramon Rains has got some tremendous power lifting up that man that with that ease, and then he ends up spearing Bronson Reid as well there, and that also protected bron Breaker, which is great. We don't see Roman Remains and bron Breaker attacking each other, which was fantastic as well. And then we had Jay who back in the ring

and Cmpunk. You could see that Roman Rains and cm Punk haven't really sorted themselves out by the way they looked at each other, but they're probably going to be allies based on the I guess the enemy of your

enemy is my friend motto. But then he ends up going into the ring celebrating Jajushow's there as well, and from what I've heard, might not be a tag team match between the two, but it might be two singles matches with Jay us So taking on Bronson Reid and bron Breaker taking on Roman Rains, which will be an amazing spectacle and something that I didn't think would happen

so quick. But this is what I mean when I say bron Breakers getting elevated at quicker rate now with Seth Rolin's not being around, so maybe that would have been the match that Seth rollins would have competed in but it looks as though that Remamains will take on Brown Breaker and that will do a lot of things of the world of good for bron Breaker's career taking on someone like Romanmains. But it's always good to see Ramemains back. It comes right before some Slam, which is expected,

and SummerSlam is slowly shaping up. As mentioned, We've got obviously Raw coming up this week to probably tie up some more loose ends on storylines and also setting up some further matches. I believe just the Intercontinental Championship and this kind of new faction will be sorted and then on SmackDown we still have the Women's United States Championship to kind of get wrapped up as well. We might see a match at some Slam. If not, we'll probably see one on a standard show, but we'll have to

wait and see. But again, it's been your boy, Daniel. Thank you so much for tuning into another main event review and I will catch you guys next week.
