Ronda/Shayna is official. I hope it's kept short both because I don't really have interest in it and also to give more time to the other matches I do care about and I don't want those to be cut short if they try squeeze 9-10 matches onto this PPV.
If this is Ronda's last match I think this second run has been a huge dud but at least she's attempted to help Shayna. Apparently she politicked to get out of a Wrestlemania world title match to instead team with her friend and now she's likely putting her over on the way out.

Looks like we are getting no tag team title match which honestly is a damn shame. KO and Sami should rightfully be featured at the biggest show of the Summer.

So yeah, there's a battle royal for nothing now on the show!

Did someone say battle royal?
Yes, they did.
Summer slam card immediately improves for marks of battle royals. Like me.

Well, what’s your priority as a fan? Seeing as many of the stars as possible? Those stars getting enough time? The overall runtime of the show? There’s been so many permutations and combinations of these factors and no matter which way the pendulum swings, it’s never just right.

The overall runtime of the show? There’s been so many permutations and combinations of these factors and no matter which way the pendulum swings, it’s never just right. The area I'm concerned with these two specifically is that they were wrestlemania headliners and the storyline was so strong. Even still as champions, to have their momentum to go from that to not being on the show, unless on this battle royal, is tough. I'm just confused as to why KO and Sami didn't get a featured match on this show. Like you want to keep their momentum strong, so you should feature them in a match at the biggest show of the summer for WWE. I'm not worried about other stars who aren't on this card, like Edge and Styles, because they haven't really had a lot of momentum in 2023. But KO and Sami did.

I think because KO might be injured, broken ribs last I heard

WWE is doing a 24/7 marathon stream of SummerSlam matches on YouTube. Not sure when this started or for how long it'll be up.

Dark match stuff from Smackdown last night that was worth pointing out: {Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW} They ran Rhea Ripley vs Raquel Rodriguez last night. It was short, but also the audience was not invested much at all, and the match itself didn't seem to flow very well.

So Rhea is the world champion but they can’t be bothered to put her on the card?

Looking forward to Logan Paul versus Ricochet and Drew versus Gunther the most. Ronda versus Shayna... uh, I'm intrigued, lol. Charlotte and Roman are 100% winning, so not a lot of interest in their matches. The Cody and Seth matches I've already seen.

Remember when people were excited that it was looking like we’d get four women’s match on this show.
Yeah about that.

Charlotte and Roman are 100% winning, so not a lot of interest in their matches. The Cody and Seth matches I've already seen. Eh. I wouldn't be sure of Charlotte winning. It's pretty clear she's missed a step since her return, and this Bianca/Charlotte angle going on is absolutely ice cold. I feel like Charlotte/Bianca will likely be a non-title feud at the end of the day. Charlotte and Bianca will try and one up each other in the Summerslam match, just for Asuka to capitalize and steal the victory. Also unless Shotzi interferes and costs Iyo the case (which would backfire on WWE massively as people are absolutely cold on Shotzi, whose ceiling is jobber), I doubt any of the women in the triple threat are walking out as champion. I feel like after RAW tonight, Priest is the more likely of the two case holders to fail their cash in. There's also the fact that Charlotte never holds the title for long anyways, so even if she does win, she's likely catching a beatdown from Asuka or Bianca post match, with an Iyo cash in to take the title off of her immediately. Remember when people were excited that it was looking like we’d get four women’s match on this show. Yeah about that. Two is still better than one (which is the standard for AEW), hope that helps. Also its pretty clear that Raquel is just a filler challenger for Rhea anyways, so they'll blow that off on a B-Tier PPV. And Ronda is supposedly gone again after Summerslam, so there's that as well. I also wouldn't be shocked if in the case of Becky/Trish, they are doing it in Canada since Trish seems to like having her "final" matches there before leaving again.

For some reason, I forgot about IYO.
