Way to make Brock look completely vulnerable a little over a month after having the most dominant title victory perhaps ever. If this match had happened a couple months down the road, I would be completely fine with it. But not this soon. This is just stupid.

This is just stupid. ...and yet, Brock withstood about 5 AAs, a couple of STF attempts, plus a Curb Stomp, and still stood tall when the event went off the air.

Man, what would have happened if Roman wasn't hurt? That might account for the horrid main event booking.

his match vs. Rollins would've still likely happened, but with a more inconclusive finish than Monday, namely Kane interfering and helping Rollins beat down Roman. Ambrose would've then made the save to loud cheers.

This was a great PPV even by WWE's incredibly high PPV standard. The Usos vs the Dust Brothers was a fantastic match to start out with and The Dust Brothers winning the title was the right result it was almost past time for the Usos to become title chasers again. Sheamus vs Cesaro was an amazing hard hitting match that made you really believe that Cesaro can beat Sheamus be he feel to the best Brough kick ever. This is a match I will watch for years to come. Miz and Ziggler have had better matches together but Miz regaining the title was a surprise and will continue what has been a good feud. I am looking forward to where it goes from here. Rollins was doing good by himself but everything after Ambrose showed up was gold. Rusev vs. Henry was nothing to write home about pretty by the numbers Rusev match but Henry crying at the Anthem was a great touch and JBL added a lot to the match on commentary. the divas match even with Nikki managed to come off like an X-Divison match if that keeps up there may not even be a need to miss TNA. John Cena beating Brock Lesnar by DQ was also a good hard hitting match it just could not match Sheamus vs. Cesaro and I am not a big fan of non endings at PPV's but taken on its own as a match this was really good. There next match should be another classic.

I like how all the announcers were really, really doing their best to convince everyone Cena would tap. Please.

Goddammit, we're going to have to sit through another Brock/Cena match, aren't we? If Brock just destroyed Cena like he did at Summerslam, I'd gladly pay $9.99 each month just to see that.

If Miz was gonna win anyway why not have him win with the figure four?

Hate to be a moany Michael, but that main event really did nothing for me and the ending felt cheap.

Fun fact! Rusev is the only person who won a match at SummerSlam who won on this show if you ignore the Rollins / Reigns thing. Of the other eight matches, the three people who won titles lost and the five who won other matches didn't compete. Wow, that just about sums up WWE's forward planning. Bray Wyatt in particular as he went from beating Jericho to he and his family not even appearing on the PPV.

Having slept on it... the show was pretty fun to watch for the wrestling. I didn't feel satisfied about the ending, but that's more of a personal preference.
I really enjoyed seeing Dusty's Crazy Kids win and go coocoo for coco puffs. The effort those two put into their gimmicks is something that shouldn't be overlooked.
I was fully expecting to fall asleep during Orton and Jericho but was pleasantly surprised.
My main gripe? They needed to go just a little farther with Mark Henry's AMERICA stuff. Little more outrageous on the outfit, needed the Soaring Eagle/Mr America/little kids waving American flags, could have used a "pep" video from Buzz Aldridge. Was very pleased that they went with Lillian singing and Mark sold those tears like a champ. I just felt they should have gone one more step to put it over the top.

If this match had happened a couple months down the road, I would be completely fine with it. But not this soon. This is just stupid. I don't get this mindset. Brock doesn't look at all vulnerable. He took Cena at his best and kicked out of everything easily. He ended the night standing tall. On Cena's normal night, he got annihilated. On Cena's best night, he still couldn't get close to beating Brock. I can sum up my thoughts on the event by saying- it was fine. Just fine. Nothing more, nothing less.

I quite liked this PPV. Nothing was atrocious
The main event wasn't as bad as folk are making out imo. What other type of finish could they have had? A better alternative would've been to have a time limit draw. That would have set up for a great 3rd match and you could still have got another match after that as well.
The next finish should be Brock winning by forceful DQ I.e getting DQ'd on purpose (Cena on the verge of victory again) to set up a final match where Cena does win and then MITB is cashed in.
I'd buy into it
I'm guessing they're going to have Cena almost getting the win then Rollins cashing in to steal it. This would then set up many other avenues for all 3 to go down
