Stephanie McMahon vs. Brie Bella
After the Wyatt-Jericho bout, a video package airs to show the history between Stephanie McMahon and Brie Bella leading into their match tonight at SummerSlam.
The video package wraps up and then Stephanie McMahon’s theme song hits. Stephanie comes out in a black leather outfit looking as good as she wants to. Out next is her opponent for tonight’s grudge match, Brie Bella, who is looking pretty delicious herself, for the record.
We see Ronda Rousey in a Roddy Piper shirt (both of their nicknames are “Rowdy”) along with some members of her Four Horsewomen stable sitting in the front row and then the bell rings. Stephanie takes it to Brie early on, using her apparent strength advantage to push Brie around.
Stephanie is dominating Brie with ease thus far in the match, throwing Brie around like a rag doll. Finally, Brie manages to land a shot on Stephanie. She tries following it up by locking Stephanie into the “Yes! Lock” but Steph manages to avoid it. Within seconds, Stephanie is back in control of the match.
It’s worth noting that this match isn’t exactly the best wrestling contest you’ve ever seen, but the mere fact that Stephanie is working a rare match and the fact that the build-up for their angle was so strong, the crowd is treating this like a main event and are being patient with it. They also seem to be on the edge of their seats so far. It really “feels” like a big match, especically for a Divas match.
The fans begin chanting “you still got it” to Stephanie McMahon, who continues to dominate Brie with ease. Finally, Brie hits a Lou Thesz press and begins firing away with punches at Steph. Brie is now finally getting some offense in.
As Brie begins to deliver punishment to Steph, out to the ring comes Triple H. HHH distracts Brie, setting her up to turn around into a Pedigree from Steph. Brie escapes, however and reverses into the “Yes! Lock.” HHH pulls the ref out of the ring, however, before Steph can tap out. We see Nikki Bella down at ringside as well. Brie hits a baseball slide into HHH, knocking him on his ass at ringside and then leading fans into a “Yes!” chant.
Steph is now in the ring with Nikki Bella. Steph butt-scoots away from her, begging Nikki not to hurt her. Steph scoots right into Brie. She stands up in between both of them and looks nervous. Nikki grabs Steph, but moves her out of the way and blasts her own sister. Steph smiles. Steph gets up and hits Brie with the Pedigree. 1-2-3. Stephanie McMahon beats Brie Bella with the help of Nikki Bella.
Winner: Stephanie McMahon
After The Match
After the match, as Michael Cole freaks out and JBL continuously says “wah,” we see Stephanie and HHH standing over a fallen Brie. They make out and we see Nikki Bella staring on from ringside. Cole is still freaking out, with help from Lawler as JBL mocks them and says “good for Nikki!”
Roman Reigns vs. Randy Orton
The video package airs to show the history leading into tonight’s Roman Reigns vs. Randy Orton match. From there, Orton makes his way to the ring. Next, Reigns’ theme plays and he makes his way to the ring. Reigns has new ring attire, as he isn’t wearing a Shield-type vest anymore, however from a distance, it looks identical to what he’s always worn. Very subtle change to his ring attire.
Anyways, the bell rings and here we go with our next SummerSlam pay-pay-view contest. Early on, the fans are loud and cheering on Reigns as he dominates Orton with ease.
Reigns dominates for a while until Orton reverses him on the floor and whips him into the ring steps. Orton is now in control of the action as the match returns to the inside of the ring.
Orton has Reigns where he wants him now, controlling the former Shield member with ease and offensively dominating him for several minutes. Orton hits a huge superplex on Reigns off the top-rope for a near fall.
The master of the RKO continues to dominate Reigns. Reigns gets a few hope spots in, but ultimately, Orton cut him off each time and remained in control of the offense. Orton punishes Reigns a bit longer until after a punch exchange, Reigns manages to start making his comeback.
Reigns is picking up the pace in this match now, taking it to the former WWE World Heavyweight Champion. The fight spills out to the floor where Reigns beats up on Orton a bit more. Just when it seems like Reigns was in control, however, Orton cuts him off on the floor and whips him into the barricade.
Back in the ring, Orton is once again in control of the offense. The two quickly end up back on the floor again and Orton continues to deliver more punishment to the former Shield member. Orton slams Reigns on the announce table, which partially collapses as a result.
As they go to head back into the ring, Reigns catches Orton coming in and drops him throat-first across the top rope to buy himself some time. Once both guys are back inside the ring, they end up on the top rope together. Instead of Orton hitting a superplex, like he did earlier, Reigns is trying for one now. Orton ends up knocking Reigns off the top. Before he can do anything, however, Reigns blasts Orton with a punch and climbs back up top. In the end of all of this, Reigns ends up hitting Orton with a huge Samoan Drop off of the top rope.
As Reigns stands tall, waiting for Orton to get up, the fans break out into a loud “we want tables” chant. Reigns waits for Orton to get up and then blasts him with a huge Superman punch. Reigns is now waiting for Orton to get up, calling for the spear. As Orton gets up, Reigns charges at him for a spear, but Orton — in one quick motion – catches Reigns sprinting towards him for a quick snapping-style powerslam. That looked really cool.
Orton is now standing tall and mocking the fans. Orton grabs Reigns and hits his draping-DDT off the middle rope. Orton is now waiting for Reigns to get up, likely setting him up for the RKO. That’s exactly what he’s calling for, as he turns into Viper Mode and pounds the mat. Reigns avoids it and goes for the spear, but Orton catches him coming in with an RKO. He immediately pins him in what seemed for sure to be the finish of the match, but somehow Reigns kicked out. The crowd popped huge for that and the announcers played up how shocking it was that Reigns kicked out.
As Orton looks frustrated and the announcers question what he has to do to beat Reigns, the announcers slowly realize — thanks to Orton’s facials — that he is setting up for the punt. As Orton waits for Reigns to move, Reigns explodes up and spears him. 1-2-3. Reigns wins out of nowhere.
Winner: Roman Reigns
