What an Ending to Monday Night RAW
- The Manipulator Roman Reigns is back
- Jacob Fatu is upset with Roman for not crediting him
- Solo Sikoa spikes Roman Reigns & the crowd goes NUTS
- LA Knight & Solo lay waste to The Bloodline
- Jacob Fatu didn’t moved or try to save Roman since Roman showed love to the Usos but not him & also berated him
This is the segment where a FULL-BLOWN babyface Solo Sikoa was born.
This was PEAK performance.

Date: August 25, 2002
Promotion: World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE)
Match Stipulation / Type: Unsanctioned Street Fight Match
Event: SummerSlam
Location: Uniondale, New York | Nassau Coliseum
➜ This was the first SummerSlam held following the introduction of the brand extension in March 2002, as well as the first SummerSlam held under the WWE name, after the promotion was renamed from World Wrestling Federation (WWF) to WWE in May, and the first of the Ruthless Aggression Era.
The main match on the Raw brand featured Shawn Michaels, returning for his first SummerSlam since 1997.
Michaels returned after being out of wrestling (due to a back injury) for four years. Triple H was given the choice of deciding which brand he would appear for, Raw or SmackDown!, and Michaels helped him decide by offering to reform D-Generation X on the Raw brand. Triple H chose to go to the Raw brand, but on the July 22 episode of Raw, as Michaels and Triple H were in the middle of reforming DX, Triple H turned on Michaels by nailing him with the Pedigree.
Triple H told Michaels that he did it to prove a point that Michaels was "weak". Michaels then told Triple H that he wasn't 100%, but he would be at SummerSlam.
Before Kenny Omega and Will Ospreay became bitter rivals, there was inheritance.
Kenny Omega’s legendary run in New Japan Pro-Wrestling helped redefine what the top of professional wrestling could look like. But when Omega left NJPW, he also left behind an enormous void—and a question:
Who would become the next man to carry that standard?
Enter Will Ospreay.
>This one involved:
>- accutane
>- teeth whitening
>- microblading
>- breast augmentation
>- dermal fillers (cheek and chin)
>- lip filler
>- chemical peels
>- botox
>- microneedling
>- laser hair removal
>- hair extensions
>- spray tan

The question is in two parts; how much should they win, and how much should they be featured?
On wrestling Reddit I’ve noticed the use of “xxxWinsLol” for Roman, Cena, Rhea and others, so that would indicate that just winning all the time isn’t the way to go.
However if a wrestler loses a couple of matches, or even sometimes one match, the sentiment is that he’s being “buried” and that fans are being told not to care about a wrestler.
But there is one thing wrestling Reddit hates - 50/50 booking.
In regards to being featured, one thing wrestling Reddit hates about WWE is when they shove a wrestler down fans throats, so that would indicate a wrestler shouldn’t be featured too much.
However one thing wrestling Reddit hates about WWE is that they don’t strike whilst the iron is hot, so that would indicate that if a wrestler is over he should be featured a lot.
Not every main eventer is the same, but generally what do you think is the best way to go?
I wouldn’t suggest anyone tell him today’s date
So that they could have given more joy to their friends/ family AND to their true fans. And could have aged into an elder statesman of the business like the other veterans have.

Welcome to the WWE NXT discussion thread!
This is an automoderator sticky, but a mod will likely post the card before showtime and pin it.
Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our rules before posting.
Be nice, remember the human and have at it. This thread will stay up into Wednesday for those watching on delay.
Hogan’s snaking of Savage from their formation as the Megapowers until wrestlemania 5 was low-key one of his biggest heel maneuvers in his career… And he was the top babyface y’all!
A few weeks back I posted this (maineventer.com)... an 82-0 style game where you spin a random promotion and year, draft a real match into each slot of a 5-match card (main event, singles, tag, women's, multi-man), and it scores your show on actual cagematch user ratings. Book five classics and you get a "Show of the Year."
I did not expect the response it got, and honestly the comments turned into a to-do list. So I kept working on it. Figured I owed you all a proper recap, because basically every change came from feedback in that thread.
First, the stuff you caught/broke:
Then a couple of additions people asked for:
And then the big one, which is why I'm back here:
All the match data and ratings come from cagematch.net, I'm not affiliated with them, just a fan of the database.
If you've got more to add (or break), let me know — last time the comments literally became the changelog. I'm mostly curious what the lowest-scoring Insane card anyone can put together is.
“Next time you come to my house, you call me and ask for my permission. This is my house. I’m getting the belt here, and I’m coming for you. They’re all fans. I’m not a fan of you.”
Unlike recent WWE/NXT signees such as Reina Volcán (Nikki Blackheart), Naraku (EVIL), and Cruz Montana (Mike Santana) it looks as though Zilla Fatu will not have his name changed.
'The Main One' will be Zilla Fatu's nickname going forward as he had his first in-ring promo on tonight’s episode of NXT.
Zilla Fatu signed his NXT Contract and joins the NXT Roster
Robert Stone added Zilla to the NXT Title Match at NXT Heatwave and it is now a Fatal 4 Way Match

➜ WWE Women’s World Champion, Naomi announced her pregnancy live in from of everyone on RAW then relinquished her Championship.
Remember, she gave them heffas “nine months and some change”.
RETURN LOADING SOON? 🔜
Whoever is champion when Naomi returns will PROCEED WITH CAUTION! ⚠️
If Okada was in WWE and not in the mainevent we'd have posts after posts about WWE not using him correctly or how WWE can't book japanese wrestlers correctly.
Okada was the posterboy for Dave Meltzer as this supreme wrestler and he's just won a few midcard titles and been given the catchphrase "bitch" and been put in the don callis family which doesnt help anyone in essence.
why does the IWC not mention any of these mishaps? if it happened in the WWE we'd never hear the end of it!
