At SummerSlam, Becky Lynch turned heel on Charlotte Flair. Or that's what WWE wants you to believe. However, the reception Lynch got from the Brooklyn crowd not only on Sunday night, but also on Tuesday night's SmackDown Live certainly didn't seem like Lynch became a heel.

 

The Shield returned in its finest form, preventing Braun Strowman from cashing in his Money in the Bank briefcase against Roman Reigns on Monday Night RAW. But both The Shield and Strowman are faces... right?

 

In today's WWE, it's hard to tell exactly how they want us to react because there's rarely any nuance in terms of characters. So this week, Nick and Vaughn discuss those specific instances as well as SummerSlam weekend and try to make sense of these storylines that, in most cases, the live audience doesn't want to react to in the way WWE wants them to.

It seems like it's been forever, but Daniel Bryan and The Miz will finally square off inside the ring at SummerSlam after what seems like an eternity of a fantastic build for this rivalry.

Vaughn, Nick and Brian take a look at the genesis of the Bryan-Miz story and the events that have led up to their one-on-one match at SummerSlam - one of the most highly-anticipated matches in recent memory. Yes, they talk about the story's beginning in NXT, The Miz being Bryan's "pro," Bryan overcoming the odds, the promo on Talking Smack, Bryan's retirement and then un-retirement and more on this week's episode.

There were several deaths connected to the world of professional wrestling this week, so we start off the show by giving our thoughts on those who passed.

 

Cedric Alexander and Tye Dillinger had some old tweets crop up and haunt them this week. We talk about why social media accountability, especially as an adult, is needed right now.

 

Then we discuss the Brock Lesnar vs. Roman Reigns rivalry, and everything that's been terrible about it. Why is WWE continuing to give us this rivalry when nobody wants to see it?

WWE officially announced an all-women's pay-per-view this past week on Monday Night RAW set for October 28th of this year. It was a ground-breaking announcement, and Stephanie McMahon was, of course, there to announce it.

 

Nick and Vaughn discuss the implications of the all-women's pay-per-view, what it means for the current talent, the future talent, if WWE will continue to do all-women's events, and more. What are the possible matches? Will Ronda Rousey headline the event in a one-on-one or maybe a multi-women match? The guys discuss and give their thoughts.

 

They also touch on Hulk Hogan, who was welcomed back into the WWE fold the day of the Extreme Rules pay-per-view in Pittsburgh. The New Day and Titus O'Neil released statements about what they thought about Hogan's speech to the locker room that day. Vaughn gives a very detailed response to Hogan's return, and what this could mean for the WWE moving forward from issues like this.

Due to a technological error, this is actually Episode 156 instead of 157. We recorded this show believing it would be our 157th episode, but the original Episode 156 we recorded did not record correctly.

 

On this episode, Vaughn and Nick live commentate the WWF Intercontinental Championship match at SummerSlam 1992, where Bret "The Hitman" Hart defended the title against his brother-in-law, "The British Bulldog" Davey Boy Smith.

 

Enjoy!

In the spirit of the Fourth of July, Vaughn and Nick decided to live commentate one of the most patriotic matches WWE put on. The guys live commentate the main event of SummerSlam 1993, where Lex Luger challenged the WWF Champion, Yokozuna. Lex Luger was a newly turned babyface and bodyslammed Yokozuna on the U.S.S. Intrepid on the Fourth of July that year, precipitating this match. 

 

We begin the live commentary around the 2:10:00 mark of SummerSlam 1993 on the WWE Network.

 

But before that, the guys discuss some recent news bits, including Ring of Honor, New Japan's United States shows and more.

Vaughn and Nick discuss the current state of professional wrestling in this week's episode of The Straight Shooters. Off the heels of WWE announcing their new television deals set to begin in Fall 2019, the guys discuss the entire wrestling industry as a whole and how it fits in with today's era compared to previous eras.

 

Will New Japan eventually rival WWE worldwide? Will Ring of Honor take a step up? Will Impact Wrestling try to become a formidable number two again in the U.S.? What will the advent of NXT UK mean for the other promotions in that part of the world?

 

All these questions and more are discussed on Episode 154!
