WWE SummerSlam 2015 Results |
Our pre-show panel consists of the usual suspects: Renee Young, Booker T, Corey Graves and Byron Saxton. Nothing special is happening, as expected, but the tag title match should be starting soon.
Okay, maybe the tag match isn't on the pre-show after all, as the pre-show is over. Jon Stewart starts us off in the ring as he's the host of the night. He starts hyping the show up and brings out Mick Foley! Foley says he's too afraid of Brock Lesnar to help Stewart interview him.
Randy Orton vs. Sheamus
RESULTS: Sheamus via pinfall after two Brogue Kicks.
REACTION: After a pre-show that had no match and an opening promo that went nowhere, this match was the worst choice to put on first. It wasn't bad, but hopefully this was the bottom line of the night, as I wasn't too into it.
[WWE Tag Team Championship Fatal 4-Way Match]: The Prime Time Players (c) vs. The New Day vs. The Lucha Dragons vs. Los Matadores
The New Day gives their rendition of "New York" and should be given the titles just for that. Big props for them trying to pin themselves at the beginning to win the titles, too!
RESULTS: The New Day via pinfall.
REACTION: Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dolph Ziggler vs. Rusev
RESULTS: Double count out.
REACTION: This match was fun, but the result was pretty dumb.
Stephen Amell & Neville vs. Stardust & Cosmic King Barrett
RESULTS: Amell and Neville via pinfall.
REACTION: Amell did pretty well, Neville had some fun moves, and overall, I'm happy with this.
[WWE Intercontinental Championship]: Ryback (c) vs. The Miz vs. Big Show
RESULTS: Ryback via pinfall.
REACTION: Decent, quick match. This could have been better and overall, I'm feeling disappointed in this event by this point, but I'm happy that Ryback retained.
Backstage, Jon Stewart talks to Paul Heyman. He equates the streak ending to getting coal for Christmas.
Bray Wyatt & Luke Harper vs. Roman Reigns & Dean Ambrose
RESULTS: Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose via pinfall.
REACTION: Underwhelming. This was a Raw match, basically. Nothing happened beyond what we'd see on Raw. Should've been a Street Fight or something.
[Champion Takes All Match]: WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins (c) vs. United States Champion John Cena (c)
RESULTS: Seth Rollins via pinfall.
REACTION: Good match with an ending I didn't see coming!
[Three Team Elimination Match]: Team Bella (Nikki Bella, Brie Bella & Alicia Fox) vs. Team B.A.D. (Naomi, Sasha Banks & Tamina Snuka) vs. Team PCB (Paige, Charlotte, Becky Lynch)
RESULTS: Team PCB via pinfall (Becky pinned Brie, who pinned Tamina earlier).
REACTION: This wasn't as impressive as I was hoping it would be. It wasn't bad, but it just was not as good as it was being built up to be.
Kevin Owens vs. Cesaro
RESULTS: Kevin Owens via pinfall.
REACTION: Good filler match, as expected.
The Undertaker vs. Brock Lesnar
RESULTS: The Undertaker via submission (Lesnar passed out in the Hell's Gate).
REACTION: Honestly....I don't know.

LOW BLOWS
- Divas match was underwhelming
- The start of this event was laborious
- Count out ending to Rusev vs Ziggler
CRITIQUE RATING SCALE: 2-COUNT NEAR-FALL (okay)
Reasoning: This was nowhere near as good as it should have been and if I were to judge it based on its potential alone, I'd give it a 1-count. Nothing was great, some stuff was good, some stuff was okay and nothing was terrible but I just wasn't impressed.
