WWE Summerslam LIVE Coverage and Discussion - 17th Aug, 2014

[Role Model]

To the people who called Corporate Nikki...nice. That was actually an enjoyable match, definitely better than expected

[LionDen]

Are we even sure that Nikki did that for the corporation? Could be personal.

Reigns vs Orton started off slow but it ended ok. I am guessing they had to fill time because it was a slow match. Predictable having Reigns win to keep his push going.

[Role Model]

Out of 10, I'm expecting this match to be about 9.99

[LionDen]

F5 by Lesnar in the first 30 secs lol

[LionDen]

WOW, amazing squash match of Cena. 16 Suplexes lol Lesnar just dominated. I am interested to see how they play this storyline out.

Not a bad show, the Lumberjack match was crazy and awesome.

The Cena and Lesnar match was fun to watch. Not often you get to see Cena squashed. Hopefully that little kid screaming all through the match, "Let's go Cena" finally shushed lol

Nice to see Ziggler getting the title, about time IMO.

Also great to see Paige get it back. AJ and Paige wrestle so well together, I hope the feud continues.

Summerslam leaving LA in 2015

They just announced on SummerSlam that the PPV is leaving Los Angeles after six years, heading to "NY/NJ" next year (which means northern New Jersey).

The announcement featured a lot of shots of Brooklyn and nothing featuring Madison Square Garden, so it would appear the event is being held at The Barclays Center in Brooklyn, NY.

Sitting ringside at Summerslam are David Arquette, UFC star Ronda Rousey, Bill Simmons of ESPN, Michelle Beadle, music mogul (and Smoky Mountain Wrestling backer) Rick Rubin, Maria Menounos, actor Eric Stonestreet (Cam on "Modern Family"), actor Dennis Haskins (Mr. Belding from "Saved by the Bell" fame), UFC fighters (an Four Horsewomen with Rousey) Jessmyn Duke, Marina Shafir, and Shayna Baszler, Fred Durst of Limp Bizkit, actor Anna Kendrick ("Pitch Perfect"), actor Brittany Snow ("Pitch Perfect"), actor Clark Duke ("Hot Tub Time Machine"), Linda McMahon and The Ultimate Warrior's family.

There was a rumor backstage that UFC's Jon Jones was going to attend tonight as well, but no one I've heard from has actually seen him.

Paul Heyman posted photos of Rousey with himself backstage:

A funny note about Summerslam, JBL said 'Jesus Christ' and it got bleeped but when Cole said 'God' it was fine. Strange

The WWE Network will air a "Summerslam Backstage Pass" this evening following Raw going off the air.
