SUMMERSLAM 2022 stuff: Becky/Bianca, Lesnar/Reigns

 

SUMMERSLAM 2022

Becky Lynch vs. Bianca Belair
Their WrestleMania match is one of the best matches of the year, so this certainly had a world of potential. I think the Mania match was pretty much a perfect big-title-match-thing, and this one tried to replicate that magic, but I didn't feel it at all. Seemed like it never kicked into another gear & there was no real catch or hook to get you (or at least me) truly into it. A spot or two that were pretty cool, but even that feels overly nice to say tbh. *1/2

Brock Lesnar vs. Roman Reigns
God DAAAAAMN. This was some mighty epic shit right here. It took them over 7 long years, but Reigns & Lesnar finally had a yet another banger. I usually don't particularly like LMS-matches, but the gimmick fit them like a glove, as it allowed their usual bomb-throwing look & feel more gritty n' violent than usual - of course helped by the fact that both guys can be absolutely incredible when it comes to selling. Such a super fun, big atmosphere heavyweight arsenal showdown all the way through, with the whole ending section after the, and I mean THE spot, being simply incredible big time WWE drama fitting the 2 characters clashing perfectly. Shout out to big Michael Cole for delivering a helluva performance as well. ****1/2
