Good card so far. Thinking we get Rollins vs. Riddle and Drew vs. Sheamus as the other featured singles matches.

[Jindrak Mark]

Not really feeling this card so far. The rumored card a month or so ago with Reigns/Orton, Cena/Theory and Edge/Balor would have been better but obviously Randy got injured, Cena's schedule didn't work out and I'm not even sure if Edge will be on the card now. These type of vignettes usually last more than a week or two so he might be being saved for a post-Summerslam return.

Liv v Ronda is interesting. I know Liv got the "clean" win at MITB but Ronda had just finished a match. If they're both at 100% is there a single move in Liv's repertoire that could believably beat Ronda in kayfabe? It might not even matter though because I can see it ending with a Charlotte and/or Bayley run-in.

This card so far is really not good looking. I have a feeling the RAW Women's title match is set up to be Bianca vs Becky vs Carmella vs Alexa after how RAW was this week, and all four women being presented strongly over the past few weeks. And honestly I have zero interest in that match as well.

I don't think Carmella will be in the title match at Summerslam. She's usually a filler B PPV challenger or a replacement if someone gets injured.

If anything it will be a final Bianca v Becky match for the symmetry of their feud beginning and ending at Summerslam. At least then you're guaranteed a great match. That 4 way would be average at best.

Yeah I think Becky will win a number 1 contenders match to give the card another big singles match

[Gus Richlen Was Wrong]

Hopefully I close at work that night so I don't have to see this shitty f***ing card. Especially since this is ending with Theory walking out as world champion and I have zero interest in that.

Will Gunther finally be on a WWE Premium Live Event for the first time since Survivor Series 2019?

[J is Justice]

Can't decide which match I'm least looking forward to: Roman versus Brock or Usos versus Street Profits.

[Instant Classic]

I hope they turn Ronda heel for this program.

Usos vs. Street Profits is what I’m most looking forward to. That MITB match was near 5 stars

I hope they make it a Ladder Match.

So the whole pinfall issue is avoided.

Montez and a ladder will make him a huge star after the show.

This card is mostly rematches…

That was awful.

I hope he fights Nakamura at SummerSlam

[Hulkshi Tanahashi]

A July SummerSlam just feels wrong somehow.

[Deleted]

I look forward to sitting in 100 degree heat for this garbage… at least tickets are only $25 and Summeslam is the last of the big four I need to attend.

Nashville would have perfect weather for Mania.

[4real]

Honestly think the match I’ve most looking forward to so far is McAfee v Corbin. Until Riddle v Rollins is announced probably.

Unfortunately I can see them adding Natalya to the match (they're doing a Natalya vs. Liv "Championship Contenders" match on Smackdown next week) to get around that issue while also providing a fall girl to protect Ronda and get around the believability problem of Liv beating Ronda. I really hope they don't though as it would make the match so less interesting. For whatever it's worth house show lineups for August have Liv vs. Ronda vs. Natalya in triple threat matches. Going by that I guess that means Charlotte's not coming back any time soon.
