As he was about to leave the arena, he was interrupted by Mr Money in the Bank Theory. He talked about his plans to cash in his Money in the Bank contract and he said that SummerSlam would be an amazing opportunity for him to win the Undisputed WWE World title. The conversation turned violent at the end as Theory attacked Bobby Lashley but Lashley fought back.
Match 1 – The Mysterios defeated The Judgment Day by DQ
The match had been good it was booked for a total of nearly 12 minutes. But Judgement Day losing the match does not make any sense at all. Rey used the trick of Eddie Guerrero to have Judgment Day disqualified. It is quite clear that WWE does not have any hope left on Judgment Day anymore which is quite unfortunate.
Match 2 – AJ Styles defeated The Miz
It was a seven and a half minutes long match it was quite a good and fun match. He was competitive and fun to watch. AJ Styles pinned Miz with the Phenomenal Forearm. After the match, Tommaso Ciampa attacked AJ and and Ciampa and Miz beat down AJ together.
The new WWE SmackDown Women’s champion Liv Morgan came out to the arena. She was really emotional delivering her promo as the new champion. She talked about her happiness of winning the WWE SmackDown Women’s Championship and explain how much it meant to her.
Natalya interrupted her and said that she should be thanking her for winning the title because she knocked out Ronda Rousey before Liv could cash in. Carmella also interfered as Natalya and Carmella started beating down Liv. RAW Women’s Champion Bianca Belair came out to the rescue and helped Liv.
Match 3 – WWE Raw Women’s champion Bianca Belair and WWE SmackDown Women’s champion Liv Morgan defeated Natalya and Carmella
It was an unlikely tag team match to see where RAW and Smackdown Women’s Champions teamed up. It was a good match and it was booked for around nine minutes. Liv Morgan pinned Natalya at the end with the Oblivion Face First.
Match 4 – Seth Rollins defeated Ezekiel
This was another good match that was booked for around 10 minutes. Throughout the night WWE has booked some great matches, and we thank them for that. Hopefully this match does not turn out to be a feud for the future. Earlier tonight, Ezekiel splashed some ketchup on Rollins’ shirt and that was the reason we saw this match.
Somehow it reminded us of the meaningless feud between Kane and Chris Jericho from 2000. About the match it was quite good. It was competitive and no one in particular dominated the match. Seth rollins pinned Ezekiel with a sudden Stomp. After the match Riddle attacked Rollins and beat him down.
Match 5 – The Street Profits and Bobby Lashley defeated the Alpha Academy and Theory
This man was booked for 9 minutes and this was quite a fun match well. Otis participated in a hot dog eating contest earlier tonight so he was not very well going into the match. He was not his 100% at all. At the end of the match, Lashley pinned Chad Gable with the Spear. After the match Otis vomitted in the ring.
Match 6 – WWE Intercontinental Champion Gunther defeated R Truth in a non title match
R Truth came out in the attire of Uncle Sam to celebrate the 4th of July but Gunther interrupted him and they got involved in a match. Gunther squashed R Truth in less than a minute. He pinned him with the Power Bomb.
Match 7 – No Holds Barred Match – Becky Lynch defeated Asuka
It was booked for 12 minutes and it was the rightful main event of the night. It was a great match and a No Holds Barred match in true words. Asuka dominated the most part of the match, but Becky at the end pinned Asuka with the Man Handle Slam through the table for the win.
At the end of the match, Becky was lying on Asuka’s hand and Asuka asked her to get off of her hands which caught on camera and it was a fun part. Becky Lynch celebrated as this week’s RAW went of air.
Overall it was not a bad show but there were some big disappointments. First of all let us talk about the good sides. The matches were really good, most of them were quite competitive. There were some bad sides of the show as well, it looks like that Veer Mahaan and the Judgement Day are now jobbers.
No World Championship segment not even any 24/7 Championship segment either. Last week we can accept that Dana Brooke was injured but she was perfectly clear to compete tonight. At least she could take a pin. These are some of the biggest disappointments of the night. We give it 1.5 stars out of 5.
