Jon Stewart Hosting WWE SummerSlam
Brock Lesnar prepares to F5 the Undertaker at WrestleMania XXX on 6 April 2014 in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana. A controversial and very divisive moment, Lesnar’s victory sent shockwaves across the world, received mainstream media attention, and even caused Jon Stewart to embark on a passionate rant much to the surprise of his bemused Daily Show audience.
The 28th edition of the company’s summer spectacular promises to be the biggest yet, with a jam-packed house at the Barclays Centre witnessing one of the most eagerly-awaited rematches in professional wrestling history, as the Deadman seeks revenge against the Beast who ended his legendary undefeated streak at Wrestlemania 30. Rollins came out to kick off Thursday Night SmackDown and said that wasn’t good enough. I have time left on my contract here and I’ll work that out, and when that contract ends I’ll always be a part of WWE as long as they want me, but I think I’ll go into more of a limited role. Cena is scheduled to appear tonight, so expect him to do just that. Rollins has weaseled his way out of tough challenges in the past several months and remained champion, so it’s possible we could be headed for a screwy finish at SummerSlam.
Kevin Owens and Cesaro are set to clash in a match Sunday that has nothing more on the line than pride. Hitting the twenty-year mark brings obvious questions about the “R” word so it is natural that any journalist who has done his or her homework is going to ask him about retirement.
Monday will also see the latest chapter in the rivalry between The Wyatt Family and former Shield members Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose.
Both historical for its impact and brilliant technique, the Intercontinental win Bret picked up here over Curt Hennig’s Mr. ideal is one of the best matches to ever grace WWE, period. (Naomi, Sasha Banks and Tamina) vs. PCB (Paige, Charlotte and Becky Lynch) will battle for a 3-team Elimination match. Tonight, let’s see these women mix it up in the ring in some combination with time to work, as they’ve gotten in the last few weeks, but add some stakes this time.
