It will define what WWE do with Lesnar going forward.

If they put him over HHH clean, then it sets him up to be the figurehead of the business going forward.

Anything else leaves him dead in the water and with zero crediblity IMO.

outside interfearence in the HHH vs Lesnar match tonight?

Summerslam spoilers

*Santino loses US title to Antonio Cesaro in pre-show.

Ziggler and Jericho kick things off. Jericho has ribs strapped.

Jericho wins with the walls after kicking out of Zig Zag earlier in match.

In a back and forth match, DB counters an attempted tombstone into a roll up for the win.

Miz beats Rey to retain IC Title.

Sheamus cheats one from Del Rio. Rodriguez distracted the ref and then threw his shoe to Del Rio but Sheamus catches it and uses it before hitting the Irish Curse back breaker. Del Rio puts his foot on the ropes during the count but the ref doesn't see it and awards Sheamus the match. Good ending that obv sets up a re-match.

Kofi and Truth retain against the Prime Time Players.

Big Show taps out but is in both the Anaconda Vice and STF at the same time. AJ orders the match to be restarted and Show chokeslams both Cena and Punk but they both kick out one after the other. Cena then hits the AA on Show but Punk comes from behind to throw him out the ring and get the pin to retain.

Earlier in the night HHH was seen talking to the official and told him that there would be no DQ and no countout. "Let us fight" were his words.

There were no weapons used but it was an out and out brawl. Lesnar kicked out of a pedigree.

To end the match, HHH hit the pedigree again but when he tried to roll Lesnar over he countered into the Komora lock which HHH eventually tapped out too after his arm was 'broke'

After the match HHH refuses medical attention and mouths "I'm sorry" to the crowd. Looks like it may have been his last match.

Cracking PPV, and the crowd were loud throughout.*

Yeah it wasn't a bad ppv at all. For me The Miz stole the show. Cannot believe how much better a worker he is compared to his title run. He may be thrust back into the main event soon.

Didn't actually watch much of that match cos I cant stand Rey

Miz has come back from his filming with a slightly different look and a better attitude, he got a big crowd reaction as well on his return IIRC.

Barrett should be back soon, been getting big reactions from crowds in house shows according to reports.

Surprised that WWE skated very close to acknowledging that Chris Benoit actually existed in the Summerslam intro as they showed Orton's first World Title win which happened against Benoit at Summerslam.

In this day and age, where significant chunks of Raw are blighted with social media references, does WWE really expect 'The Universe' to believe that Brock Lesnar is leaving again?

Tyler Reks has been granted his release, after he realised that he wanted to be a proper dad to his kids. He & Hawkins were just starting to get a push as well.

Undertaker and Michelle McCool have had their first child.

And CM Punk has been accused of blading during his match with Jerry Lawler, which is a big no no backstage at WWE. But there seems to have been no fall out from it which suggests that Punk either has a lot of pull backstage or was able to argue the merits of his actions

For a company that used Blading almost weekly for a very long time I wouldn't give to shiny ones about their current views just because Mrs McMohan is going to fail at running for senate again.

Get in, TNA Fan Interaction tickets sorted.

Blood has been off WWE programming for quite some time, except in very rare occasions. And so now, when it does show it, there's more of a shock value to it.

According to pwtorch the red in that match got a fine which Punk paid.

It will have been a work.

I really can't see Charles Robinson getting fined $500K and Punk just paying it off for him.
