SummerSlam 2016 Live Blog and Results
Ziggler won a Six Pack Challenge on SmackDown to become the #1 Contender to the WWE Championship, and Ambrose has played mind games with the Showoff ever since. The end of this match began when Gallows and Anderson had incapacitated Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston, and Stewart entered the ring to distract The Club. This match was one of the first announced for the event and it will be interesting to watch, even if it isn’t for a title. Nikki Bella teamed up with Natalya and Alexa Bliss to defeat the team of Becky Lynch, Carmella and Naomi. I don’t think they wanted the cut to be as nasty as it was, but I doubt Lesnar wanted that either.
In a disappointing turn of events AJ Styles defeated John Cena in a match that didn’t see much buildup but these two wrestlers ensured that they would stand out by giving a jolly good show.
It was no surprise when the Miz successfully defended his title against Apollo Crews in a very short and quite unimpressive match. News broke on Monday that former women’s champion Sasha Banks injured her back while wrestling Charlotte, the Ric Flair’s daughter.

I like the build to this feud.
This match proved that Brock Lesnar destroying everyone he faces is worn out, and a waste of time. Buts it’s John Cena, so would he lose? A win by the challenger would actually get the blue brand back on its original creative trajectory. Ziggler and Ambrose were perched on the top rope, and the Show-off went for a facebuster.
For now, we know that Balor is going to be evaluated by doctors at tonight’s Raw taping.
This is a tough one. It’s also a blow to Raw’s plans for the new universal title, as they were already trying to get the belt to be popular with fans (who voiced their displeasure with the bright red appearance of the strap).
Rollins lost the first ever WWE Universal Championship match, but there’s a good chance he’ll win the belt eight days later. Lesnar was having none of that however, tossed the medic off and continued to annihilate Orton as the bell was rung and the match was called off with Lesnar winning by TKO.
-Ross on Brock Lesnar and Seth Rollins: “Two things that I am not buying into and that is 1”. WrestleMania? Will anybody care at that point? “I think it all happened exactly the way it was supposed to happen”.
