WWE Battleground 2017 Review | THE WORST PAY-PER-VIEW OF THE YEAR!

[@joeyzapata6786]

Avengers: Infinity War trailer leak> WWE Battleground

[@JDfromNY]

By having the Great Khali on this show, in 2017 it goes to show you that change is needed on Smackdown in the absolute worst way...ASAP

[@TheSolomonster]

We knew this would happen though. Raw is their baby. The Smackdown Surge was never going to last.

[@r_a_w_g_e_r]

biiiig show and rybaack, strowmin' n' roman'

[@jcaceres516]

JDfromNY206 fire road dogg

[@LightFromADeadStar]

JDfromNY206 yes by getting rid of road dogg and hoping Vince and Kevin Dunn die, then only will change ever come

[@Nooblet92Ca]

JDfromNY206 lmao great khali I mean I don't hate him but why bring him up.

[@jcaceres516]

Road Dogg will get on Twitter and justify this trash

[@travisw3131]

"oh you are just a bunch of downers, i choose to be positive, some nights we have homeruns others it's a show but the hard work is still there" that usual bullshit.

[@jaywilliams4770]

Jose Caceres "wins and loses don't matter lol"

[@magnifecent1swagg]

Travis W that sound's like em

[@danielcarlisto4123]

"Orton has a look of terror on his face... I have a look of terror on my face." I couldn't breathe that's how hard I was laughing

[@BzaafiedTheFerocious]

The only enjoyment I got out of this ppv is that knowing Solo would kill it dead. This PPV sucked. It wasted my time. It wasted my gf's time, she got so irritated during the Cena match she started cheering for Rusev and then read a book the rest of the evening. I wish I had grabbed my book, not watched another hour of this multifarious bore.

[@kaind.badguy]

This is a great time for me to start watching New Japan Pro Wrestling.

[@angelzarate99]

Kain d. Badguy GO DO IT NOW they are our only saviors

[@drewwart]

It's crazy that only 7 months ago Smackdown was one of the best things about WWE, now it's one of the fucking worst things about this company

[@trunks6179]

Blame Roaddogg & his shitty booking

[@ashkan322]

weirdfish change in creative plain and simple

[@leetheleo9602]

Trunks Fucked Yo Bitch there's a possibility that Vince wasn't paying much attention to it back then and has recently started throwing his weight around more often. Just like how he didn't pay attention to Talking Smack and after one show it got canceled from being a weekly show.

[@wallyrosario654]

People on Instagram gave this show an 8/10. This show in the words of Bryan Alvarez deserves MINUS 5 STARS! Summerslam better be one of the greatest shows in the last 5 years at least to come back well off a garbage show like this. Glad I didn't watch nor did I pay this month. New Japan gives us Naito vs Ibushi and Omega vs Suzuki where WWE gives us Jinder Mahal and The Great Khali

[@mariahcareyslamb1223]

Oh, heck, I can't wait to see Bryan Alvarez rip this pay per view to shreds.

[@teckygaming6915]

Wally Rosario right bro

[@SavagePatch115]

Wally Rosario I don't like the pacing of NJPW. But after watching last night's PPV, I might have to give NJPW world a chance..

[@wallyrosario654]

+lil115slayer you definitely should especially for the G1. There are gonna be matches that blow you away. definitely watch New Japan especially now during the hottest point of the year except Wrestle Kingdom

[@MrTreyshawn22]

lil115slayer pacing ? Huh? Pacing is fine every wrestler there wrestles different.

[@negano5654]

What an embarrasment to wrestling....... Road Dogg and Vince literally put another shameless note on how bad bad wrestling is being booked right now in WWE. Save us Indy Wrestling!

[@omerfarooq6822]

Things that made this the worst PPV: Bad endings, average matches, dead crowd, predictability for some of the matches and swerves just for the sake of swerves (Natti, Zayn, Khali)

[@jimihendips8226]

I'm from philly, had money, didn't go, didn't watch

[@SavagePatch115]

Jimi Hendips good for you. You can sleep easy knowing you didn't waste your time or money on this PPV

[@GLITZandGLOOM]

Jimi Hendips I love your avatar pic. Used that myself on Facebook a few years ago haha Haaaaaave mercy!

[@Mrgogetter2k]

Jimi Hendips 😂😂💯💯

[@Ori0n1975]

The "Delete!" chants during the poontang prison match pretty much told the story.

[@FodeeFo]

New Day & The Usos are the best thing about SDLive right now and that's weird since SDLive has Styles, Nakamura, KO, Sami Zayn, Rusev, Orton, and Cena.

[@wallyrosario654]

Except the two future hall of gamers the only people over on smackdown are AJ and Nakamura. That shake up ruined that brand so badly at this point they might as well give Ziggler another push

[@wallyrosario654]

Famers* my bad

[@trunks6179]

Wally Rosario How did it ruin the show when they got way better talent than what Raw got. The reason the show sucks is because of Road Dogg's shitty writing

[@FodeeFo]

I know that's your opinion, but I'll respectfully disagree. I find it hard to believe that a few changes in talent is responsible for SDLive's downfall. Unless they changed/switched writers, I don't think the shake-up is to blame because SDLive has just as many talented superstars as Raw does.

[@mariahcareyslamb1223]

The shakeup didn't ruin Smackdown. The writing has.

[@kjag23]

Yea this pay per view was bad lol.

[@ShaunTheCHB]

When solomonster is angry.....he's funny. :)

[@DukeBlueDevilFan08]

#FIREROADDOGG

[@BigBoshV]

My WWE Network Subscription = CANCELLED!!! Awful product, bad storylines, cringeworthy programming & excruciating commentary.

[@187BURNZY]

Same just channeled this morning , im done with this childish shit

[@joseortega5262]

Same here. Cancelled it last night. Not worth my money at all!

[@ghostxfactory17]

I wouldn't cancel it. They have attitude era matches on there.

[@tthomaselli2]

The Solomonster: "0:11.". Me: "Nice to meet you.". The Solomonster: "0:13.". Me: "The same to you.". Lol.

[@okcmidtownrotary4135]

NEW JAPAN G1 CLIMAX 27

[@jasonjimerson7046]

At this point, I think I am going to invest in New Japan 100% for now on. Screw Summerslam, WWE is a sinking garbage scow!

[@jasonjimerson7046]

THE GOOD GUY only if the WWE finally books a show that is well liked across the board. And that is a BIG "if".

[@ericgarcia3640]

I know Solomonster really likes Corbin but he's trying really hard to convince us that the Nakamura match wasn't complete garbage.

[@notjaysday]

eric garcia Totally sucked!

[@GLITZandGLOOM]

eric garcia I love Nakamura and Corbin's decent, but these two have zero chemistry with each other. Feud should have ended tonight.

[@notjaysday]

I have never seen Nakamura prior to WWE. I keep hearing how great he is, but so far I have seen very little to write home about. His entrance is memorable, but in the ring he throws a few knees and not much else. Perfect opponent for Boring Corbin. :)

[@MrSergzilla]

jayfore KZbin Shinsake's NXT debut vs Sami Zayne, if you haven't seen it already.

[@MrTreyshawn22]

jayfore then educate yourself I mean if your a fan good look him up you have the internet use it. I hate that excuse

[@aboodamak8113]

Tbh it was never that " smackdown is the greatest show ever " it was more about raw being absolutely shit

[@tthomaselli2]

I forgot what episode of The Solomonster's podcast it was (episode #500-something) & somebody asked a "Buy, Or, Sell?" in terms of which PPV was the worst: 'WWE Battleground 2017', or, 'WWF King Of The Ring 1995', I believe they were. I, personally would much rather have sat through 'WWF King Of The Ring 1995' than 'WWE Battleground 2017'.

[@natedg78]

WWE is embarrassing! I'm ashamed that i still follow this stuff

[@coolfuture27]

Nathan Woods Honestly at this point we should just watch another wrestling show cause every single time and every year wwe continues and continues and continues to fail to give us what we want.

[@danieljobber7931]

It is the Becksploder, I do believe.

[@antmc84]

It used to be the BexPlex.. But ur Right, though..

[@themightyavenger1023]

I never thought it would get to the point where watching an Olympic swimmer race against a CGI shark and a boxer and a UFC fighter going back and forth would be more entertaining than what we call "sports ENTERTAINMENT". Smackdown has been terrible recently and this ppv was an embarrassment.

[@bigb860]

My God. Sounds like complete and utter garbage. I genuinely feel for those who actually took their time out of their Sunday night to watch this. Being a fan for nearly 20 years now, I flat-out refuse to watch a show with a glorified jobber in the main event, let alone the WWE Champion. I don't care what anyone says, Jinder Mahal has absolutely no business being the champion --- it's borderline laughable. That being said, thanks for the review, Jason! Really appreciate what you do.

[@ughman7694]

bigb860 I feel bad for jinder he has to know he's does not belong in the higher tiers that wwe is putting him

[@bigb860]

I'm not saying he could never get there but you can't be a nobody, then out of no where, win a couple of a matches and become the champion. There's no story or rise, which is why no one's buying it.

[@badqualitybigbird4360]

I am not excited based on the title alone

[@JohnBoyAdvance]

How to save the Punjabi Prison match. 1) Take out the internal cage. 2) TAKE OUT THE INTERNAL CAGE.

[@ultixevoz]

So about those rumours about Vince sabotaging SD because it beat RAW in the ratings that one week... FFS with a roster of Zayn, Owens, Styles, Nakamura, Cena, Rusev, Lynch, Charlotte, etc... and the best part of the roster is the Tag Team Division (not to say the SD Tag Division is bad. Nope. Its great) is unacceptable. Someone needs to make Vince see its time to step down. The old man is so out of touch its killing the product.

[@trunks6179]

Chris Ayeni The best part of the roster is the tag team division? WTF are you talking about? And you left off alot of people on the Roster. The Roster now is better than it was before the shake up

[@ultixevoz]

The best booked part of the roster is the Tag Division. Yes. WWE Title Scene? A joke. Jinder gives the same promo week in week out and neither him no Orton are exciting enough to make the feud work and we all know Cena is winning at Summerslam. Fun. US Title Scene? Better. You could potentially have the likes of Nakamura, Styles, KO, Zayn and even Corbin for now all go after it but WWE is still playing hot potato with the title. Women's Title Scene? After the weeks and weeks of multi-woman matches with no clear direction only now are we actually getting what seems to be a definite feud for Naomi. Carmella is interesting too as MITB holder but that's only her. The likes of Lynch, Charlotte, etc... are still directionless with no real feuds in hand atm. Mid-card? WWE not doing enough with the likes of Dillinger, English, etc... The mentioned two just sorta fight on pre-shows but they barely have any interaction on SD to constitute a feud. The Mike-Zayn stuff is decent but that's it. Tag Team Division is the one with constantly good matches and promos. Usos have been booked as fantastic and credible champions with New Day as worthy challengers. They always have solid PPV matches too. Breezango is entertaining and the intrigue surrounding who their attackers are (either AOP or Harper/Rowan IMO) is good. Even Ascension is actually in a funny role when they show up on the Fashion Files. So yeah I'd say the Tag Scene is probably the best booked division on SD right now.

[@trunks6179]

Chris Ayeni Okay I thought you meant the best as talent wise... But yeah as far as booking goes you're right it's been the tag team division. Once they take that title off Jinder & Baron cashes in on whoever beats him (Most likely Cena) the World title picture will be back as the main title.

[@ultixevoz]

Oh I see. Nah. Honestly atm the US Title/upper mid card scene has the best talent (Cena, Rusev, Owens, Styles, Naka, Zayn, Corbin). But yeah it does seem that SD is directionless atm especially since the US Title honestly feels more like the main belt than the actual WWE title. Hopefully you're right and things do pick up after Summerslam. Some new feuds and new title holders could shake up things and re-invigorate the show because at the moment SD just feels dull.

[@nickc5683]

2016 BattleGround was far better than this 2017 BattleGround. Vince needs to retire. SDLive has hit a brick wall! Just sad...:-(

[@InkedupT-raw]

The uso superkick reminded me when Shawn Michaels superkicked Shelton Benjamin in the AIR! one of my favorite moments in wrestling history!

[@NicolasHernandez-sm5te]

Thanks for the heads up. I was busy watching Game of Thrones. Now that I know this is a throw away show might as well be productive and paint.

[@steventhethird1146]

Best decision you've made

[@imsteezy1]

Nicolas Hernandez Euron Greyjoy had a Wrestlemania worthy entrance

[@NicolasHernandez-sm5te]

imsteezy1 the ship scene was awesome. I hate waiting another 6 days for the next episode

[@williamschaeffer409]

Nicolas Hernandez bro, game of thrones was fuckin sweeet sams curing jorah !

[@omarmerhi95]

All Hail John snow

[@travisw3131]

terrible, AJ Styles match wasn't even good. there's literally three highlights of this show, the tag title match very good. a Singh Brother took a bump off the cage which is like the 3rd ppv in a row he almost died, i hope he's getting a good paycheck and well Great Khali returned think how bad this had to be for that to be a highlight.

[@saisunny7320]

That Styles was decent . Not good not bad but terrible finish Owens headlocks just kills the interest in the matches

[@miskatonic6210]

Sai Sunny Owens' headlocks are the best and most entertaining restholds you will ever see. There is always variation. Fact is: You NEED restholds or episodes of slow pace for proper storytelling. A match can only get fast and exciting when it has slow parts. You have to build tension. Of course you can screw up pacing. But Owens and AJ are way too good to fail at this. Jinder and Orton failed. The beginning was awful. I liked the second half, but the beginning...

[@MrTreyshawn22]

Sirion 3 headlocks in a span of 15 minutes means you don't give a damn

[@MrTreyshawn22]

Sirion and you don't need long draw out rest holds to tell a story

[@jcarreon1983jc]

I fell asleep during the Cena-Rusev match.

[@steventhethird1146]

Lotus Hulkenberg you sleeping was more exciting than that match

[@steventhethird1146]

Razor Smith I think that's a bit much. I wouldn't say any of those people got buried but their matches or finishes to their matches left a lot to be desired

[@jcarreon1983jc]

Razor Smith This pay per view will be a forgotten memory in a month or two. Maybe in a month or two Smackdown Live will turn it around. I think getting a dynamic talent to shake things up a little bit will help. Seth Rollins would be great addition. They could trade for Rollins and Raw can sign Cena. Then Smackdown can feud Rollins with Styles, Nakamura, and Kevin Owens. Plus one of those four could take the belt off Mahal.

[@skylerouellette7567]

Legit same I didn't get past them getting out of the ring and I am so glad I was out before the punjabi prison

[@hardikchawla4966]

i speeded up match 1.5x to avoid the slumber 😂

[@DarkReapersGrim]

I like when there's a ppv review, especially for the big four ppvs.

[@7syno7]

The NFL can't come any faster....

[@jasonphilip1198]

Smackdown hasn't been the same since they took the WWE title off Styles.

[@JaKaiAmor]

so right I straight fell asleep watching the flag match

[@tthomaselli2]

21:43-21:54.; The Solomonster had a very valid point--especially at that part. I've seen that be used so many times in pro wrestling where the heel would take what felt like forever to climb the cage/etc., it literally isn't even funny.

[@NathanKJohnson]

I didn't even watch this PPV. And after listening to this, I'm glad to say I didn't watch it

[@GLITZandGLOOM]

Nathan Johnson You should at least catch the New Day vs. Usos match. Only good match on the show.

[@jcaceres516]

How does a midcarder like Road Dogg know anything about booking? He was never a main eventer and yet he's supposed to book main event matches

[@ameysingh997]

Jose Caceres He's the same guy who was booking smackdown in 2016. So he can be great. But he isn't doing any good to smackdown

[@StarryStarryNocturne]

Roaddogg was traded to Smackdown in the shake-up (behind the scenes), and Smackdown's headwriter was given to Raw. Coincidence?

[@trunks6179]

Amey Singh Um no it was Ryan Ward he was lead writer now he was the reason the show was great now he's on Raw, Road Dogg lead writer on Smackdown

[@trunks6179]

StarryStarryNocturne Are you serious or trolling? Because he's been on SDL from the start

[@ZomIIXC]

Well if you use that logic the amount of bullshit and interference is exactly the kind of main event shenanigans he's used to... remember all the times DX would interfere in a HHH match in the 2000s ?

[@gerrymcwilliam]

WWE has actually planned this... Just so Raw looks good now

[@doomvictor3934]

Gerry McWilliam Yep Vince is moonwalking

[@outragedamerican1149]

The Punjabi Prison match was perfectly fine once they left the inner cage. The problem was they spent far too long in there and it was kind of hard to see what was happening. They need to just scrap the dual cage idea. Opening the doors is both pointless and convoluted; straight out of Russo's big book of booking. The Punjabi Prison would be fine if it were just the outer cage. I mean the structure looks impressive.

[@sportsnthingsshows2786]

this show started out well with the tag title match and went to garbage after. hopefully there is a way up after this great review as always.

[@SuperDuperCool23]

This was a rough ppv to go through. I went from watching the G1 to watching this this...

[@Warrenlfc96]

Worst PPV of all time

[@nemesis3168]

cena got his golden shovel for rusev at battleground.

[@r_a_w_g_e_r]

I checked out and didnt care during large parts of the show and just played Fire Pro Wrestling World.. way better matches lol

[@chadanthony6675]

I remember watching this show and I fell asleep during the rusev and cena Match 😂😂 Had to go online and figure out the results

[@MikeyMUnited]

All the best writing people were moved to Raw, WWE has systematically stripped Smackdown of anything that put it ahead of Raw, because WWE (Vince) wants Raw to be the flagship.

[@ojizle]

The goat khali has returned!

[@darkhpokinsngaming8889]

OneeChan Fucked Me *great

[@merlluthor1371]

DarkHpokinsn Gaming Decent at best*

[@randymancan8186]

nothing above an abortion in the ring*

[@tthomaselli2]

26:07-26:12.; Everybody else who saw this PPV was probably thinking the same thing, afterwards.

[@JoshCobra89]

This show was awful!

[@jakeselig7410]

Kevin Dunn’s Teeth>Battleground 2017

[@jacobdrko]

Cena should retire. What more could he do? Money in the bank, Rumble wins, US champ, WWE champ, World champ, tag champ, beat, Rock, Michaels, Angle, HHH, Orton, Batista, Mysterio, Guerrero, Edge, Punk, Bryan, & Jericho. I like Cena, but I'm exhausted of seeing him.

[@jc47654]

I fell asleep just before the bell rang for the Cena, Rusev. keep in mind where I live it was near 3 AM! I made 2 mistakes when it comes to this ppv: 1. resume watching after I woke up 2. tried watching this ppv live (especially considering my new job meant I no longer have to work monday mornings!)

[@rickhaavisto9023]

I don't know if I was the only one to notice it or not, but in the AJ-KO match, I think the ref was knocked loopy to explain the ref possibly missing AJ's shoulder was lifted off the mat.

[@SingleServingChris]

I honestly took a nap during the main event. I woke up and was disappointed to find out it wasn't over.

[@alecholland8071]

Fastlane as a PPV failed to be a good build-up heading into Wrestlemania. But Battleground failed to make Smackdown Live look any better after a long haul of recycled, uninteresting episodes. Which one of those sounds worse to you?

[@cesarmartinez2834]

How do I sent you emails I tried with your email address you say on your podcast sometimes but it won't let me so how do I send you questions

[@cctitansfan]

Orton Vs Khali at Summerslam (If it happens) is the definition of a piss/food break

[@ThunderForce2000]

I cancelled my WWE Network subscription back at the end of April and so far I haven't read or seen anything that makes me want to renew it.

[@smileykid18]

I'll rate each match on Battleground New Day vs Usos - GREAT Nakamura vs Corbin - Boring Women's Fatal 5 Way - Below Average ( Lame finish ) A.J Styles vs Kevin Owens - Average TV quality match ( HUUUGGGGGE Disappointment) Cena Vs Rusev - Boring ( stupid uninteresting stipulation) Zayn vs Kenellis - Piss break. Orton vs Mihaul - Boring, waaaaaay too slow. ( just a terrible way to end the PPV ) Terrible show overall.

[@grims4ever]

Funny thing was I was in Philly Sunday and I went to see Slayer, Lamb Of God, and Behemoth. And that show was sold out compared to this show from what I hear. I knew I was going to be disappointed by the PPV so I didn't bother.

[@sppsports2449]

Anyone notice that KO is almost TOO good of a heel? The endless chin locks, the constant stalling in ring, and the harassing of interviewers (Renee Young mainly)

[@poeboy2]

What bothered me the most is that Owens and Styles both had their shoulders down. The ref counted and never told the announcer who won. Then the announcer gets on the mic and makes the announcement. When did WWE employees become mind readers?!?

[@KingNothing710]

Smackdown really has to start utilizing their talent better, they really ought to start giving more air time to Luke Harper, Tye, and Gable in the future. Even Ziggler and Rowan have gone missing

[@guardianofchaosBD]

Solomonster! getting it done! Thank You for the review! I will say that to say this, all the workers broke there ass and tried to make it work! give them credit, it is not there fault creative is dropping the ball!!! much respect to he workers from the Guardian of Chaos, Big Daddy!! CenterRing316 Thanks S

[@tryan715]

I was at this shit show and by FAR the highlight of the night wasn't even on tv. Before the flag match the crew got confused as to where to put the flags. At least four of them start to argue as to where they should go. One guy carrying both flags runs halfway towards the ring, around the crowd. He gets told to go back and put the flags in the stands. But before he can make it Rusev's music hit. Which is why Rusev came to the ring with no flag then walked back up the ramp and grabbed his flag from the stand. I wish I had video of this. It was priceless

[@sonicheroxd5767]

I gave up on product a few weeks ago. But Kurt Angle's reveal last week and this PPV was the last straw for me. I'm done. I'm gonna spend my time watching something else and just listen to podcasts to keep me updated from now on.

[@scottwalker666]

Nice of WWE to show Jinder in the Summerslam promo so I didn't have to watch the Punjabi Prison match to see who won, I'd sooner have a bamboo suppository than watch Jinder vs Orton.

[@SandslashPWNS]

Only thing I disagree with you on your displeasure with this show is your criticism of the exploder suplex. Sami's been doing it for years. Becky's been doing it for years. Same with Nak. Only thing different is that they're all now on the same show of Smackdown. You can't expect the wrestlers to change their moves because other superstars have the same ones. This was by far the worst PPV I've seen in a LONG time. Complete waste of my time when I could have been watching Game of Thrones as it was happening.

[@warrenlamar4477]

WWE wants to make most of the shows bad so the 3 good ones seem better.

[@itsErratics]

I knew the great kahli would come it was so predictable...

[@miskatonic6210]

Many of the problems result from long term booking and positioning of matches. New Day/Usos was a very good match...still incredibly boring, because we have seen them a million times and there's nothing new to their feud. Owens/AJ was a very good match...but it also feels like just another match in the middle of the card. Why would you even care for Nakamura, when his match is that early on the card and about nothing? The women's match told some really fun stories, but we've seen multi women matches so damn often during the last weeks...the characters of Natalya, Tamina, Charlotte or Becky are a meaningless blur without any direction. And I don't know why Lana had to try a spin kick. Just let her do basic moves you can't fuck up that easy with bad timing. She's a heel. She doesn't need to do anything flashy. You can really see the wrestlers try to deliver good, entertaining matches.

[@Gaelek13]

You know that one some warped level Vince is _glad_ because now Raw, his precious baby, is beating Smackdown again. And you know it's not beyond the realm of possibility that this man really would cut off his own nose to spite his face.

[@esnips123123]

The Great khali joining the stable is awesome. Now it starting to look like a credible heel stable. I don't think TGK is going to wrestle I think/hope he's just an enforcer.

[@drevandamva]

It was so infuriating watching shinsuke wrestle balding corbin when the G1 Climax is goin on. How many times does baron need to rest in a fuckin match?! Bearhug city smh wtf njpw has really opened my eyes to fact that wwe really is a bad soap opera with matches in between

[@jonathanparker1774]

I laughed every time they said "steel reinforced bamboo" No it was steel bars painted in camo/ to look like bamboo

[@jamesjarmon242]

Fastlane was pretty shit. They had that Jinder/Cesaro-Rusev/Big Show portion of the show that absolutely killed everything.

[@boi7942]

They should have debut Shanky Singh "The Indian Undertaker" kzbin.info/www/bejne/fHOpYZ2Hj5yerc0 from Khali's wrestling promotion, instead of just Khali coming out. The Indian Undertaker had a great feud with the Indian Policemen in India that went viral.

[@cameronswindall9936]

I actually enjoyed this ppv for the most part, wasn't great or anything but I enjoyed myself watching. I think I was just in a good mood

[@kierenbuckley370]

Cameron Swindall I guess your just a very positive person it was garbage

[@111JFish]

It's amazing. They have guys backstage like Dean Malenko, Arn Anderson, Fit Finlay, Jimmy Jacobs, Adam Pierce, etc, yet they put fucking Road Dogg and these hollywood writers in charge and this is the shit we get. Mind Boggling. This show, SUCKED.

[@TheManofThings777]

I am so glad I canceled my subscription last week...

[@teckygaming6915]

I will never ever watch WWE again it broked my heart

[@Steadysphere]

Yikes. I guess worst SmackDown PPV will be Battleground and worst Raw will be Fastlane. Unless they somehow get even more shit.

[@VinElliott]

This is what you get when the WWE doesn't have any competition. Us fans are missing WCW right now. At least WWE and WCW pushed each other for a better product. Even SummerSlam isn't looking that all appealing right now.

[@thorboysen3318]

Sports Entertainment sucks...!!! Professional Wrestling rules...!!!

[@souradeepsengupta4269]

It is time when people trend #CancelNetwork on twitter and wwe would come up with 2 or 3 (I know it's more for wwe) good matches at SummerSlam and then everything would be back to normal except this time,the network subscription is really going down in a horrible way. Last year post-draft, SmackDown was the better show,where Styles was the champ and they were phenomenal with his booking.Now we've Ginger Mahal as the champ who can't even talk sensibly and to think this guy got a shot at the title ahead of Zayn and Luke Harper shows that WWE does what it does only and only for money and this will never ever ever ever change.They have no desire to change.

[@mvj777]

Highly recommend the weekly show

[@chikowashere]

I feel sorry for the Philly crowd. They couldn't see shit for that main event. Actually I'd rather have seen the main event from their prospective, it might be better

[@tthomaselli2]

13:40-13:47.; You'd think so, right?...

[@KJaswal]

A big rumour about why Battleground was so bad was because of Game of Thrones new season premiere. Honestly people that watch WWE should get a good show cause not everyone is gonna stop watching to tune in to Game of Thrones tbh

[@CapitalExpression]

Looking back on the whole Singh brothers geting destroyed by Randy Orton thing. It really bothers me that precious Randy Orton is treated like fragile glass but he's free to come close to murdering smaller wrestlers.

[@notjaysday]

When can we be done with Jinder as champ? Same cheat/interference ending, over and over. Terrible.

[@09sheamus]

He hit the nail on the head one of the worse ppv of the year. Just look at the main event they had in February to now is like wow. If it's keeps up like this don't be surprise if they do joint ppvs in the future

[@samoanjoseph1457]

I honestly feel there have been worse shows this year, but I can see why people say this one was so bad. Worst PPV main event this year, maybe. At least any worse main event was likely shorter than this one was. But I'm biased because I don't like the Punjabi Prison match. Or that Jinder needs this much help. A heel champ is fine, but if you need more than two flunkies to beat one guy in your own gimmick match, I dunno, man. Doesn't really sell me on him being main event level.

I was watching on the network and hovered my mouse over the timeline at the bottom before the main event, saw there was 40 mins left and was like Fuckkkkk! lol

It looked like a double pin between Owens and Styles. I think it will lead to a ladder match at SS
