That's a damn good work if the boys bought it. Love Jericho standing up for Orton and Brock can be a bit of a prick when challenged like this. All he had to say was it was planned (others could have confirmed sooner too) to end this.

Cena lost a feud clean. Is this real life :lol: anyway 5 star match for me, amazing stuff, also that part at the end, I know cena is the biggest tease on earth but let that lead to heel cena please

WWE title match was pretty meh given how awesome the build was
Universal title, the whole thing makes me sad, dammit Seth, if they put the title on roman I swear
U.S. Title thingy was interesting at least
IC Title match was bad, give Miz a decent opponent please (I love uhaa nation but they've given him nothing)
12 man tag should had teddy long all over it
Tag team title match was a disappointment like their feud
Women's match was a bit sloppy but the ending, why though, Charlotte may as well have never lost it
Woman's tag, knew it was going to be Nikki, have her go to smackdown and be the #1 heel and maybe first queens champ?

Main event was absolute garbage, not sure if Brock went in to work for himself in that, apart from Orton getting busted open this was boring and probs the worst of the night for me.

Anyway thought this was a pretty bad ppv, especially after a fantastic battleground,

I'll add I don't blame the fans for booing the title, they waited how long to unveil that poor attempt of a belt (rip off of the WWE title directly)

Not a fan of Sasha losing but when you understand she's injured, it makes sense why Sasha dropped the belt. And I thought the ending of that match was very clever. Charlotte turning Sasha's finisher in to a pin.

Charlotte is actually entering a class all by herself in the women's division right now. She's a great worker, great on the mic. To me she's also got a lot of things that KO does, very subtle stuff that sells her storylines even better.

The ending of the Randy Orton vs. Brock Lesnar SummerSlam match, which went pretty much as planned, led to a verbal and somewhat physical confrontation between Lesnar and Chris Jericho last night.

According to multiple sources, Jericho came to the gorilla position just as the match ended, apparently to see if Orton was okay and to find out what exactly happened. He asked Michael Hayes what the finish was or if that was the finish. Hayes wouldn't answer him at which point Jericho said, "That's bullsh*t."

Jericho said that just as Lesnar came back from the ring. Lesnar thought he was talking about his match, and called Jericho a pussy according to one version, or "shut up" according to another, and to mind his own business. The two got face-to-face and started exchanging words, with one version saying they were shouting at each other the whole time.

Lesnar pushed Jericho with his fingers, and Jericho did what was described as the "Rousey-Tate" foreheed press. One version also had Jericho shoving Lesnar to the wall at one point.

They got tangled up against the wall and Lesnar told Jericho to punch him or kiss him. Paul "HHH" Levesque jumped in quickly and broke it up. It was heated enough that they went back at it at which time Vince McMahon broke it up. Jericho started yelling about Lesnar and McMahon told Jericho that it was all a work and to be professional.

Levesque reportedly told McMahon that Lesnar started it, and Jericho was just standing up for himself but there were more words exchanged.

Jericho saw Orton and got mad, which everyone noted was because he was concerned with Orton's health and safety. Orton reportedly assured him that he knew the way everything was coming.

Jericho comes off a helluvalot better than Lesnar in that. Kudo's to Chris for standing up for what's right. But maybe he shouldn't have jumped to conclusions about Brock - I can understand Brock getting upset about that (yes, I'm reaching a bit trying to give Brock some benefit of the doubt).

Btw, what's the payoff for Orton risking his livelihood to take those elbows? How does that help his character in any way? I'm just not getting why he agreed to it?

She'll probably always be a bit stiff on the mic, but no question she's great in the ring and looks the part of a great champ - regardless of who her father is. And Raw getting Bayley is a serious coup for them. Raw's women >>> Smackdown's. Bayley might be even more over with the fans than Sasha.

Credit to Cena for doing business the right way and putting over AJ clean. Helluva match, Mauro Ranallo was excellent on the call.

Bayley will most likely be more over as a face than Sasha for sure, in fact hopefully Bayley will be the main face whilst Sasha gets to play her best role and thats as a tweener or an outright heel, Sasha was probably the best heel (man or woman) for a long time in NXT so hopefully WWE lets her be that again.

lord knows it took him long enough to put someone over properly :lol: either way it now cements Styles as a legit contender and a guy who could very well win the title off of Ambrose at backlash (backlash is the smackdown ppv right?)

Also on Orton, he didn't know the full extent, he thought Lesnar knew how to get him busted open safely with an elbow. So Orton didn't know he was going to be smashed in the face, if this is the case, leave the old man in with orton, let orton punt him and this time orton should really put his foot into mcmahon's head, absolutely horrendus if Orton himself didn't know Lesnar was going to leave him that much of a mess.

Agree. If true, Orton better be getting ($$$) AT LEAST what Lesnar got for that PPV.
