Bron Breakker adn Bronson Reed Showcase Potential in SummerSlam Opener
Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed made a significant impact at WWE SummerSlam,opening the event alongside Seth Rollins. Their performance against Roman Reigns and Jey Uso highlighted their readiness for the main event scene and the next phase of their WWE careers.
The pairing of Breakker and Reed with Seth Rollins was seen as a natural progression for two ascending stars. Rollins’ storyline “injury” provided an possibility for breakker, who is described as “ready-made for the main event,” and reed, who has quickly regained his previous form after an ankle injury, to demonstrate their capabilities on a major stage. The match against the high-caliber talent of Roman Reigns and Jey Uso served as a testament to their development.
The match followed an anticipated structure,with Reigns and uso successfully neutralizing Rollins’ allies. The post-SummerSlam landscape for Reigns and uso introduces intrigue, particularly in relation to their ongoing rivalries with CM Punk and the new World Heavyweight Champion, Seth Rollins.
additional Observations from SummerSlam:
- Karrion Kross’s WWE future Uncertain: Despite considerable social media promotion and fan engagement, Karrion Kross appears to be nearing the end of his tenure with WWE. When questioned about his contract status, Kross offered an evasive response. His recent match against Sami Zayn at SummerSlam concluded with another decisive loss for Kross, fueling speculation about his impending departure. Kross’s situation serves as an unusual instance where crowd reactions led to increased television time without a corresponding shift in booking outcomes. Should this mark the end of his WWE career,his future endeavors and ability to maintain his recent momentum will be closely watched.
- Jelly Roll’s SummerSlam Appearance: While Jelly Roll’s participation did not generate the same level of excitement as Bad Bunny’s previous appearances, he fulfilled his role effectively.The match lacked exceptional in-ring work but featured notable moments, including Jelly Roll taking a splash through a table and a frog splash from Logan Paul. The current WWE leadership, under Paul Levesque, has adopted a more logical approach to celebrity involvement. The inclusion of jelly Roll and Pat McAfee in matches this year, both resulting in losses, is viewed as a more palatable booking strategy compared to instances where celebrities achieve victories over significant contenders.
