WWE Summerslam and Monday Night Raw Recap

So many awesome things have happened in sports this week.SummerSlam exceeded my expectations. Even Raw was entertaining. By far the most important news is Kevin Steen signing a NXTdeal. 

I'm anxiously awaiting his debut. That tubby fucker may be one of my favorite athletes of all time. Steen tells WWEhe's been waiting for this his whole career. I know I've been waiting for this since the moment I saw him in the ROHring. 

On to SummerSlam! As expected, the match of the night goes to Brock vsCena. Impressive show from both men. 12 German suplexes! It was like watching a video game. Brock clearly accomplished his goal, he now holds the WWE World Heavyweight title. 

Paige takes the Diva's Championship. The next few weeks will be huge for Stars like Bray Wyatt, Ziggler, and Reigns who walked away with victories. My favorite champion of the night has to be Stephanie McMahon. We all saw it coming, Nikki turns on Brie. 

Then on Raw, you can't get enough of Paul Heyman. I could watch him talk about anything, even BasicBrockanomics. "Eat, Sleep, Suplex, Repeat." Let's see where this goes. The Ambrose/Rollins feud takes a halt as Ambrose start production on Lockdown. This is the perfect opportunity forZiggler to "deliver the goods." A heart broken Nikki stands up against Brie, heel looks good on her. 

Im actually eager to see Smackdownthis week. Rumor has it, more Reigns, more Goldust & Stardust, and more Curb Stomp! When wrestling is good, it's so, so good!

Less than a week til SummerSlam and Raw fails to bring heat to anyone. You'd think WWE would learn to use their time a little wiser. At this point, I feel like it would be more productive to let Heyman cut promos for the entire roster and give everyone the night off. 

Paul Heyman is one of the greatest personalities in the world of wrestling. He's an important asset to any company he's working for. If it wasn't for him, I don't think I would have made it through Raw this week. Not only has he convinced me Brock has a shot at the title at SummerSlam, but I barely even cringed when he brought up the Undertaker loss at Wrestlemania. 

The lackluster performance from Stephanie this week was a major disappointment. My expectations for this woman are always high, as they should be. She's the princess of wrestling. Shitty script or not, there's no excuse. The fake love affair between Daniel Bryan and his physical therapist is unbelievable. Who came up with that and why didn't anyone slap THEM!? Brie is not a good enough actress to sell it even if it were true. In the end, McMahon gets her revenge. Brie is arrested for slapping her husbands new love interest. 

nWo for life! I loved seeing all these sexy old men in the ring. Hulk Hogan celebrated his 61st birthday with Rick Flair, Paul Orndorff, Rowdy Roddy Piper, Kevin Nash, and Scott Hall. The party was so rudely interrupted by the Lesnar-Heyman team. Before anything interesting could happen, Cena runs into the ring to save the day. Brock fled the scene saving the real fight for SummerSlam.
