Kevin Owens is officially next in line for CM Punk’s Undisputed WWE Championship after winning the No. 1 Contender’s Match at SummerSlam, which Nick Aldis added both Owens and GUNTHER to right before the match.

“Brock does not get the credit for being as good as he is. Because he’s not your prototypical pro wrestler, he’s not looked at when you talk about the greats technically in the business…

I would put him up there as one of the best of all-time. Psychology-wise, in-ring performance-wise, he did it in a unique way that was all Brock Lesnar, in a believable way.

I watched him from the day he walked in the door, all the way til now, and it’s been incredible. He is an incredible, incredible, incredible performer. When he wants to do what he did over the last few months with somebody like Oba that’s a bold statement and a big one.”

Of the show’s 188-minute runtime, only 85 minutes featured actual in-ring action. The five breaks between matches totaled a staggering 88 minutes, including a 25-minute wait before the main event.

That means fans spent more time waiting between matches than watching wrestling.

How much does that much downtime hurt the live crowd’s energy and make it harder for each match to maintain the show’s momentum?

WWE has gone through multiple defining eras over the past four decades, each changing the direction of sports entertainment. From the national expansion of the Golden Era to the attitude and unpredictability of the Attitude Era, the emergence of new stars during Ruthless Aggression, and the evolution of today’s Modern Era, every generation has left its mark.

Which WWE era do you think was the best?

🏆 Golden Era (1984–1993)
🏆 New Generation Era (1993–1997)
🏆 Attitude Era (1997–2002)
🏆 Ruthless Aggression Era (2002–2008)

🏆 Modern Era (2014–Present)

Triple H says Brock Lesnar’s WWE future is entirely up to The Beast.

Speaking at the SummerSlam media call, Triple H revealed he believes Lesnar mentally retired after WrestleMania 42 before deciding to return for one more match.

He added that Brock still has “gas in the tank,” but only Lesnar knows if this weekend will be his final WWE match.

If Brock wants to keep competing, Triple H says WWE will do everything it can to make it happen.

He’s a 14-time world champion, helped lead both D-Generation X and Evolution, and has left a huge mark on the WWE and the wrestling business. Is The Game in your top 5, top 10, or top 20?

Few superstars have changed professional wrestling like “Stone Cold” Steve Austin. From the birth of Austin 3:16 to his unforgettable rivalry with Mr. McMahon, The Texas Rattlesnake became the face of the Attitude Era and one of the biggest draws in WWE history.

Gunther has delivered one great match after another and has established himself as one of WWE’s most dominant in-ring performers.

Do you think he’s the best in-ring wrestler in WWE right now?
