I think that Rhea might just be very annoyed at being taken off the card. Just a hunch.

I think that Rhea might just be very annoyed at being taken off the card. Just a hunch. Perhaps but I don't think anyone was looking forward to a Raquel/Rhea match either, especially since Raquel has been ice cold for ages now and just isn't getting over, at all. It would be on the card just for the sake of being on the card, and neither woman would benefit because no one thinks Rhea would lose, on top of Raquel being ice cold. The build has been pretty garbage as well. A lot of Rhea's stuff has been. WWE has built up Rhea yeah, but at the expense of literally everyone else, so she's booked as an unstoppable monster.

The crowd was into Raquel's appearance on Raw just this week. Crowds aren't always consistently behind her, but 'ice cold' isn't accurate.

That's basically it. Raquel has been a bust in almost every sense of the word. The number of times she has been over on the main roster is in the single digits (despite being on the main roster for well over a year at this point), and all of her losses are incredibly protected despite the audience clearly not caring about her. She had a similar problem in NXT when they kept trying to force her into a face role in NXT despite the fact that the audience clearly liked Dakota more than her.

Triple H managed to piss off Becky, Trish, and Rhea all at the same time. It’s impressive in a way.

I'm working on my SummerSlam Preview & did some research that I had to share immediately. SummerSlam will be Roman Reigns' 1st Defense since WrestleMania marking 126 Days between Defenses, which is the Longest Gap between Universal Title Defenses since Brock Lesnar (Greatest Royal Rumble (4/27/18) - SummerSlam (8/19/98), 115 Days.) It will be the 1st time in WWE History that that WWE Championship will not be defended in over 100 Days. Jack Tunney would not approve.

Here's my crazy prediction. Finn beats Seth, Priest runs in the ring teases cash in but ends up hugging Finn and holding his hand up.
Jey beats Roman and then suffers a beat down by Solo and Roman. As The Bloodline walks to back they let Damien run past and cash in. Roman beats Priest at The Rumble and Cody faces him at WM40.

Here's my SummerSlam Preview. I only included the Battle Royal Participants that are announced. I have the Stats for the rest of the Roster in case they get added, but will post them after SummerSlam is over in my Facts & Stats Section.

This show just kind of feels wildly inconsequential to me. Feels like about the only thing of consequence that could even theoretically happen is Seth losing the belt and that still doesn't seem likely. Maybe an Usos breakup but I'm guessing when Jey loses it's just going to be due to Solo.

If we’re going by the New Legacy Inc sim, the main event should both be the dumbest story turn and the greatest match in history at the same time.

I'm going to be bold and say that both world titles change hands. I won't really complain if I'm wrong though since 1. I've enjoyed Roman's Bloodline run entirely and 2. Finn not winning keeps the Judgement Day breakup progression going quickly.

I've enjoyed every PLE this year bar the huge mistake of Cody losing, but there's nothing here that interests me. Hopefully it'll be a fun show anyway.

Kid Rock being on this show feels like a Vince decision.

Should note for clarity that Kid Rock is literally only doing the narration for the intro. I don’t approve of it, but so many people are under the impression he’s bumped off Lynch v Stratus to do a live performance that I have to point that out.

Count me in as one of the few that thinks both titles somehow change hands. It’ll still be Roman vs cody at mania but I think he’s finally losing it tonight.
