Summerslam 2021

WWE: We beat our Black champs in 30 seconds or less or your money back!

Tamyra and Gable being here to do nothing

 

I am writing AEW in the air with my finger

It makes you wonder was the plan to actually have Sasha win tonight?  Because if this went from Belair winning to Belair losing the title in 30 seconds that is just devastating 

I always assumed Sasha was winning. That would've been fine after a competitive match. Not this 30-second bullshit.

[Strummer]

Wait what though, haven't they been building up Bianca has a dominant champion the past 4/5 months?

Yup.

You could have a fucking ten minute match and justify it with Bianca not being prepared for Becky fucking Lynch, it would be fine. What happened...

[C.S.]

This Becky-Bianca bullshit has completely soured my mood to what was already a profoundly mediocre paint-by-numbers show.

[Matt D]

Those absolute morons.

[The Man in Blak]

“It worked for Daniel Bryan when he lost to Sheamus!”

They just cannot get out of their own way. I’m not a huge Bianca fan by any means, but she deserved way better than this.

There could not have been a more WWE sequence of events

 

 

Blatant false advertising all the way up to bell time

Fake out mystery opponent

Real huge return

10 second one move squash that makes that champ, the headliner of WM, who has completely carried the women's division for the past 4-5 months, look like an absolute geek for a lol what a MOMENT

 

 

Also the fact that it was all women & then immediately followed with a commercial for WWE returning to Saudi Arabia. Says it all, really.

[hammerva]

Chances are you can't have a 10 minute match with Becky unless they knew weeks ago that Sasha was going to no show.  But at least don't make belair look like a moron and weak

LOL I'm actually catching up on some Dynamite at this second.

[Matt D]

They could have gotten away with a beatdown on Carmella and a promo and Bianca reacting and been 100% fine. 

[KawadaSmile]

Listen invert the booking from Drew/Jinder with Becky/Bianca and the criticism would die out considerably. Of course, that still leaves the problem of Sasha being advertised to the last fucking second.

I'm super fucking pissed off at this. Bianca was *just* used at Rolling Loud to have a promotional match, fuck.

If they can't come up with a 10 minute match in a day, they shouldn't be in the positions they're in and all the agents are worthless.

[sek69]

Per Dave, WWE knew eight days ago Sasha wasn't going to be available and yet we still got a week of promotion leading up to.....that. 

[C.S.]

Ripley hasn't connected at all on the main roster. I hope Nikki wins and we move on from this. 

[sek69]

Now it's Nikki Almost A Credible Champ vs Rhea "the booking will play out" Ripley vs Charlotte Hearst Helmsley. 

[Matt D]

There was a moment there where I thought WWE had actually followed up from yesterday. It was the moment where Becky saw someone with a “Man” shirt on the way down and went nuts for it and it was real and awesome and endearing and electric. And then they ruined it like they always do.

They couldn't even get CM Punk in Chicago right at this point. 

[jiraffejustin]

WWE with another "this is why we can't have nice things" moment.

Decades of WWE brain poisoning are why so many people thought AEW would bring in Punk then have MJF beat him down or something.  We've been so heavily conditioned to expect wrestling not to take the most obvious route even when it's what the entire fanbase wants.

[The Man in Blak]

The cosmos apparently wasn’t a big fan of the Becky/Belair angle either:

 

[hammerva]

By the way if you wonder how they could make this worse,  what if Goldberg beats Lashley and Big E DOESN'T cash in tonight

I understand why but people thinking that we are ready for a cashless society need to calm down.  And WWE fans are realizing this tonight 

 

 

[jiraffejustin]

I haven't seen even a clip of Raw in a long time, who is this Jimmy guy on commentary? He is dogshit.

Even if he did, Oldberg beating Lashley would be a fucking travesty.

 

....and of course CHHHarlotte wins again.
