Steve Notes SD 8/7/20

Firefly Funhouse- Lots of haters are coming into my DMs saying its my fault for what happened to Alexa. Its HIS fault! But he’ll be here later!

Riddle vs. Sheamus

Sheamus uses his strength early for the advantage, does his ten forearm thing

Riddle gets the advantage, goes up top, stream goes out

Come back, Shorty G attacking Riddle, Riddle uses his head to bounce it off a the table, throws him into ringsteps, then he kicks his chest, murderinghim. Riddle then announced as winner by DQ.

SG gets a brogue kick, and I just realized they’re still calling him Shorty G. Sheamus RIPS him a new one verbally as well. Second Brogue Kick. 

Sheamus checks Corbin over the Kings Ransom ruining his match. Says he’ll shove his crown up his ass. Corbin says you’re lucky I have a match, otherwise I’d put a dent in your skull right now.

DIRT SHEET!

Their mics go out- Morrison makes a Retribution joke, Miz says and you’re supposed to be on Raw

Mandy Rose’s hair is their guest, it’s a wig on a stick with eyes

Sonya comes out, she loved doing it because she could tell all Mandy cared about was her face cuz that’s all she has Otis and Tucky run out, brawl

Cesaro & Shin vs. LHP

Goddamn Cesaro’s back breaker

Lince springboard stunner changes the momentum, multiple moonsaults, Cesaro stops him on three, has him in razor’s edge, counter to rollup, European uppercut, Gotch Neutralizer 3

***

Miz vs. Heavy Machinery announced

Otis interview- Otis says all they do is joke, he won’t stand for the disrespect- when you make him angry, no one will be laughing

THE FIEND

This dude is milling about- oh he has Alexa with him, still? In her same outfit…? Is he a time traveler? He loads up in the corner of the ring, then starts crawling to her, like some sort of performance art. He tries to put his glove in her mouth again, but she caresses his head. 

Braun shows up on iphone 8 video. 

He says when he went to the swamp, he knew he’d come back one of two ways- an evil SOB or a man triumphant. He tried to resist it, but he let it out. He is more than a man, he is the thing nightmares are made of, he is the monster- FIEND, you can have what you want- at Summerslam, you have to face the monster.

Baron Cobin vs. Jeff Hardy

Match is fine, Corbin throws Hardy out, Sheamus brogue kicks Hardy, DQ’s Corbin, they get into it

Wait so they have a match now?

Corbin vs. Sheamus

Sheamus wins with Brogue Kick when Riddle jumps off the top over Corbin, then rolls out

Bayley and Sasha, Sasha asks if Bayley is ok over Bayley fighting Asuka, she’s not, but Sasha, in a complete role reversal from her and Bayley, no sells her concerns.

Smiling PA guy tells them they’re needed in the ring for a zoom call with steph

Big E- what’s next?

He answers the question WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN? The New Day could be perceived as a weight, as pressure- BUT THEY HOLD ME UP!

VIDEO CONFERENCE is really awkwardly framed.

She says congrats, they thank her and her words are important cuz everyone is jealous

Steph says they’ve certainly done a lot- lists off the shit theyve done

Sasha says they’ve just tried to do whats best for business, they’re role models

Steph says she’s not sure about them being role models, but she does want to challenge them-

at Summerslam, sasha will be defending the Raw Women’s championship- Bayley will ALL compete next week in a TRIPLE BRAND BATTLE ROYAL with the winner facing Bayley at Summerslam- she says that’s what’s best for business

Miz/Morrison interview

Miz says they’re mental giants, it won’t take much to outwit Otis

Kayla says she’s never see Otis this mad

They’re not scared

Miz/Morrison vs HEavy Machinery

Otis really doesn’t seem all that mad…?

Miz and Morrison in control over Tucky

Mandy attacks Sonya, bell rings

...what the shit is this?
