Dave Simon and Johnny North on the week WWE spent in Italy, and turned a throwaway tournament into the most important thing on the show. Every first-round King and Queen of the Ring match is a fatal four-way; the winners get a SummerSlam title shot, and Dave has thoughts about all of it.

• Why WWE is booking every first-round match as a four-way is either genius or held together with tape

• Oba Femi passed his biggest test yet — and there's a Brock Lesnar shadow over the whole men's bracket

• The SmackDown four-way ended with a winner nobody had circled going in

• The Bron Breakker vs. Seth Rollins finish that you have to go back more than 25 years to explain

• The take that starts the arguments: Roman Reigns is a heel, and the crowd hasn't caught up yet

• What Roman is actually doing to Jacob Fatu — and why LA Knight is the only one saying it out loud

• LA Knight or Seth Rollins for the King of the Ring? Two completely different SummerSlams

• Dave names the single best in-ring performer in all of WWE — and it might surprise you

• The WWE glass ceiling: why women have to earn it, and certain men get to fail upward

• MJF's knee is in real trouble heading into Forbidden Door — is it a work or the real thing?

• Mercedes Moné is back in the Owen Hart Cup, and the women's bracket finally has a star

• Kevin Knight turns heel, joins the Don Callis Family, and complicates a Montreal hometown moment

• AEW Redemption is coming to the Bell Centre — and the tickets aren't moving yet

• The greatest King of the Ring of all time, settled once and for all (Dave will not hear arguments)

• Johnny North wins tag gold, three generations in the building, and a title shot this weekend
