There’s a reason for that. Summerslam has come and gone and it was certainly an eventful show. There were several memorable moments taking place on the show and some of them were a bit more popular than others. A lot of the fallout remains to be seen, but there are going to be enough changes to keep people interested. Now we know an important detail on one of the biggest moves.
Becky Lynch made a surprise return at Summerslam, defeating Bianca Belair to win the SmackDown Women’s Title in less than thirty seconds. Later in the week, news came out that Lynch would become the top heel of the SmackDown women’s division. According to F4WOnline, the decision was made by Lynch herself and she will be feuding with Belair going forward. It is not clear when the two will be having their next match against each other.
This is going to change things. Check out what happened at Summerslam and what is coming on SmackDown:

NXT
Date: August 24, 2021
Location: Capitol Wrestling Center, Orlando, Florida
Commentators: Beth Phoenix, Wade Barrett, Vic Joseph
Takeover has come and gone and I have no idea what to expect next. Everything is about to be turned upside down around here and there is a good chance that we are going to be seeing something completely different going forward. That might be a good thing, but it is certainly going to be an eventful thing. Let’s get to it.
Ted DiBiase and Cameron Grimes arrive and we follow them into the ring. DiBiase talks about how people have wanted to see what he wanted around here. He is here because he saw something in Grimes, who kept getting back up. That is why he is now the Million Dollar Champion, which the fans seem to like. Grimes talks about how DiBiase drove him nuts when he got here, which DiBiase says was a test.
Instead of learning, Grimes got distracted by the money and the stuff, and now he has the accomplishment to back it up. At Takeover, the two of..

205 Live
Date: August 20, 2021
Location: Capitol Wrestling Center, Orlando, Florida
Commentators: Vic Joseph, Nigel McGuinness
I think we can officially that we are now in the new 205 Live, which has nothing to do with weighing 205lbs and isn’t live. That could mean a few things and most of them seem to be positive. What matters here is putting on a show that is entertaining while not overstaying its welcome, which may or may not work. Let’s get to it.
The show is in such a state of flux that it has lost its opening sequence.
Andre Chase vs. Ikemen Jiro Chase sends him down to start and wants Jiro to bring it. That earns Jiro a hiptoss but he snaps off an armdrag to even things up a bit. Another hiptoss is countered into another armdrag to send Chase outside but he ties Jiro into the ring skirt to set up the beating. Back in and a neckbreaker gives Chase two and he pulls Jiro off the middle rope to cut off the comeback.
The crossface chickenwing keeps Jiro down for a bit but he’s b..

Becky Lynch shocked the world when she returned to WWE and became the new SmackDown Women’s champion. The return came at August 21’s SummerSlam and the title win came after Lynch disposed of Bianca Belair with just two moves.
WWE fans knew that The Man would come around eventually. But they perhaps couldn’t guess that she would come back in such a controversial fashion. Now that it seems Lynch is turning heel, does this mean the company is closing the book on The Man gimmick?

Lynch Rages Against The Machine The idea of Lynch turning heel at this point seems more than unlikely. After all, Becky was once the hottest star in WWE and that was thanks to The Man gimmick. She was tough, she was rebellious and as a result, she was over. Fans instantly responded to her change in attitude and it worked for her on every level.
The anti-authority persona schtick typically does work, depending on who runs with it. Perhaps the best example of all time i..

It’s worth a closer look. There are very few moments in recent memory that have been as well received as CM Punk’s AEW debut. After seven and a half years away from professional wrestling, Punk made his grand return in his hometown of Chicago to a thunderous reception. It was an amazing moment and now we get to see it from a different point of view.
The latest edition of Being The Elite includes footage of Punk backstage at the United Center on his way to the ring. Punk is seen backstage with the Elite and listening to the crowd chanting his name before going out. The video also includes the usual Being The Elite antics, including the team going shopping for new shoes in Chicago. The footage of Punk is at the beginning.
It was a big night. Check out Being The Elite plus Punk’s debut:

That’s a new direction. There are all kinds of ways to present a wrestling storyline and some of them are a lot more successful than others. The sign of a good one though is that it makes you want to keep watching and see what happens. Every now and then, you see one of these take place and that is the case again. Now we might be seeing a new direction for the storyline.
Over the last few months, Baron Corbin has come across some hard times on WWE SmackDown. After losing his King’s Crown to Shinsuke Nakamura on June 18, Corbin has had one horrible stroke of luck after another. Corbin has lost his money, his car, his family and his home. There is very little left for him to lose, but things might be turning around a bit.
This is a near saga. Check out what happened to Corbin in Las Vegas:

That’s the next one. This year’s Summerslam has come and gone and the show was certainly eventful. There were a lot of surprises taking place on the show and perhaps the biggest one came at the end of the show when Brock Lesnar made his return after a nearly year and a half away. Lesnar seemed to be setting his sights on Roman Reigns, and now we know where this might be going.
According to Wrestling Observer Radio, WWE has changed their plans on the Lesnar vs. Reigns match. The original plans for the match would have seen it take place in 2023 at WrestleMania 39 but the plans are now up in the air. There is a chance that the match could take place in October at Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia, though this is not confirmed. There is no word on how this could change potential plans for the Rock vs. Reigns down the line.
These two do have a history. Check out what we might be seeing sooner than later:

See you later. There are very few stars in wrestling history on the same level as John Cena. While he might not have always been the most popular star in the world, Cena certainly had his audience and WWE knew how to market him to those people. Cena is now seen as a living legend and is going to get some extra attention every time he is around. That just might not be taking place anytime soon.
According to PWInsider.com, Cena is done with WWE for the time being, save for an already announced appearance at the September 10 SmackDown in Madison Square Garden in New York City. It is not clear when Cena will be back, as he will be filming Argylle for at least the next several months. Cena finished up with WWE at Summerslam, losing to Roman Reigns in a Universal Title match. Following the match, Cena posted a message to Twitter, thanking the fans and everyone involved for his latest run with WWE.

Welcome to KB’s Old School (and New School) Reviews. I’ve been reviewing wrestling shows for over twelve years now and have reviewed over 6,000 shows. Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, I’ll be posting a new review here on Wrestlingrumors.net. It could be anything from modern WWE to old school to indies to anything in between. Note that I rate using letters instead of stars and I don’t rate matches under three minutes as really, how good or bad can something that short be?
Monday Night Raw

Location: Manchester Evening News Arena, Manchester, England
Attendance: 15,266
Commentators: Jim Ross, Jerry Lawler
We are on one of the foreign excursion shows as Raw is over in England on the way to Survivor Series. Some of the Survivor Series matches have already been set and that should make for a few different paths while the show is on vacation. Now just get us there in a few interesting pieces. Let’s get to it.

That’s very him. We are officially done with one of the biggest wrestling weekends of the year and arguably the biggest story of the weekend was CM Punk making his AEW debut. It was a very emotional moment and included one of the greatest reactions that you will ever see. Part of that was due to a special bonus that Punk threw in, and now we know a pretty cool detail about what happened.
At the end of Punk’s speech, he announced that everyone in the United Center was going to get a free ice cream bar on the way out of the arena. Ice cream was indeed provided for everyone in the arena, with over 15,000 fans in attendance. The ice cream came in a special wrapper and were provided by Pretty Cool Ice Cream. The company has now offered a little more information about the whole thing.
In a post on Instagram, Pretty Cool Ice Cream has revealed a few details about the ice cream. Punk did in fact pay for the ice cream himself, personally writing the check to the ice cream company. This has be..

You might have noticed. We are now done with one of the busiest weekends of the WWE year, which was focused around Summerslam. The show ran four hours, plus an hour long Kickoff Show, which featured a variety of matches and big moments. Not everyone was able to make it onto the card though, and now we know why that was the case with one name in particular.
According to PWInsider.com, Kofi Kingston missed both Summerslam and this week’s edition of Monday Night Raw as he is not currently cleared. There is no word on what is specifically wrong with him. Kingston was scheduled to take part in a segment with Xavier Woods at Summerslam where Woods sprayed Miz and Morrison with the Drip Stick 2000. There is no word on when Kingston will be back on television.
Kingston is going to boost things up a bit. Check out what WWE is waiting on:
