There are a lot of questions surrounding SummerSlam. Is Seth Rollins injured? Is Seth Rollins not injured? Is Seth Rollins injured but not as badly as they say? Will Cardi B do any skits? What are Jelly Roll’s teeth made of, exactly?
Well 56% of the Wrestling Inc. staff have landed on “It’s not that bad; Seth’s going to show up and cash in on newly-crowned champion CM Punk,” and it certainly makes a lot of sense. Gunther doesn’t have that many significant challengers left. After all, there’s no where to go but down, once you’ve retired Goldberg. Punk and Rollins’ feud that started at WrestleMania 41 is due for escalation, and SummerSlam is the season of escalation.
It’s become a running joke in the Wrestling Inc. Slack chat that I will often say, “Nothing is allowed to happen unless it’s WrestleMania, or on certain occasions, SummerSlam,” and it is nice to see half of the crew has taken those words to heart. SummerSlam is one of the only times during the year when things are allowed to happen in WWE, and Seth Rollins riffing on his WrestleMania 31 cash-in a decade later just sounds, looks, and feels right, based on what’s been happening on Netflix’s Monday night show. Will he cash-in during the match or wait until after? It’s not clear, but the staff seems to think Rollins will be turning in that briefcase by the end of Night 1.
