Overall Show Score: 4/10

Pros: LA Knight getting his big moment winning a battle Royal. Cody Rhodes getting the win and a hand shake from brock at the end. Iyo Sky winning the Women’s title was a great moment and my best match was between  Seth “Freakin” Rollins & Finn Bálor.

Cons: How disappointed I was at this year’s Summerslam event. My expectations were not clear on last night’s show. The Detroit crowd sucked, and jimmy betrays his brother jay. What the Fuck…….?
