The event was great and all, really enjoyed but oh man, my kids and I had a laugh about this ad lib
The fact that they zoomed in on Otis' stomach made it even more hilarious and weird hahaha

The greatest PLEs WWE has ever done with the new Triple H era
I called most of the twists but the presentation was insane

Also good to see the IWC wasn't bitching and moaning for once about the surface stuff
everything was near perfect imo
 
It was good event, but predictable and I also wanted more matches but udnerstandbledue to time, maybe next year
As a Japanese I wanted to see DMG control namely Dakto, Kairi or even Iyo Sky, sad
 
It's amazing how both Dom turning on Rhea and Roman coming back to help Cody were so predictable, yet they still landed with such impact. I loved this show—bravo!
 
SummerSlam finally felt like a major show on par with WrestleMania, or at least just below it. For a long time, only the Royal Rumble had that big-show feeling. While SummerSlam had some notable moments in recent years, this year was the best it’s been in a long time. It could be remembered like SummerSlam 2002. Now, let’s hope Survivor Series can be revived to its former glory as well.
 
They’re going back to excessive zooming and cutting during the matches. Many moves felt missed or were cut off in the middle, which really diminished the impact.
 
The new camera angles are fantastic. , and it feels so immersive with the shots from the announce desk and that sweeping camera going around the ring. It’s clear they’re working to refresh the presentation, and I’m really enjoying it!
 
Has it become the norm for every match on a big show to feature a finisher kickout? I noticed that in every single match, the face kicked out of the heel’s finisher. While it's common in main events, seeing it in every match feels like overkill.
 
The heat Dom is going to face on Monday will be off the charts. He’s reached a whole new level of hatred now.
 
Damian Priest’s title reign exceeded everyone’s expectations, and he played the betrayal tonight perfectly. This run has turned me into a Priest fan, and I’m eager to see him take down that traitor Finn.
 
I loved how Roman went straight for Solo and took him out without any melodramatic nonsense. No teasing or wasting time deciding who he’d attack—it was obvious, and the direct approach made it feel much more realistic.
 
WWE finally got a babyface Roman Reigns over with the crowd after VKM’s numerous failed attempts over the years, and he isn’t even around to take credit for it.

Today’s a great day!
 
They ramped up every single storyline to the next level without wrapping any of them up, had several major title changes, a heel turned heel, then it happened again with the same group, a massive return, and most importantly, Jey’s going to be thrilled that Rhea is actually single.
 
I’m not going to lie—that might have been one of WWE’s best PPVs/PLEs ever. Every match delivered, everyone came out looking like bigger stars, and there were a few extra surprises thrown in.
 
It's incredible how the new Bloodline has really elevated Roman as a babyface.

Even though Solo gets a lot of hate (myself included), he deserves credit for nailing the 'wannabe Tribal Chief' gimmick.
