Tonight, on the post-SummerSlam WWE Raw open discussion thread:
Last night at SummerSlam, one of the most highly-anticipated rematches in WWE history was marred in controversy. In the final moments of the epic battle, the referee failed to see The Undertaker tapout to the Kimura Lock; the timekeeper, however, did see it and rang the bell without the referee’s instruction. While official Charles Robinson argued with the timekeeper, The Deadman dealt a low blow and made a defiant Lesnar pass out in Hell’s Gate and The Phenom was declared the winner.
So, who truly deserves the victory? In the wake of this epic showdown, it’s hard to image what could possibly happen next. Will The Authority weigh in tonight on Raw? Are the timekeeper or referee’s jobs at risk?
Rumors are already circulating that Brock Lesnar himself might stay in Brooklyn for tonight’s Raw rather than fly home to the Minnesota wild. If that’s true, all we can say is that everybody had better run. After all, recent history dictates that whenever a WWE Network event does not go his way, there’s a high probability that The Beast Incarnate will turn WWE’s flagship show upside down.
Believe us when we say you do not want to miss a moment of tonight’s Raw, LIVE at 8/7 C on USA Network.
Our five-point preview:
1. Be sure you’ve read The Best and Worst of WWE SummerSlam 2015 first, or else you won’t know which celebrities turned heel, and which timekeepers are now trouble-causing ghosts.
2. There’s a rumor that a certain old man from WCW will be in the house, but I’m hoping it’s all a swerve and they’re bringing out Liger. Liger vs. Heath Slater on Raw. Book it.
3. The real question is this: will Jon Stewart make another appearance and, if so, will he get AA’d like so much Kevin Federline?
4. Will Stardust be looking for revenge against Stephen Amell and, if so, how can we work Goldust into this? Booster Goldust?
5. Will Nikki Bella finally get a championship challenger? Will Stephanie McMahon tell everybody that that’s okay?
