10 Observations From Attending WWE SummerSlam 2016 Live
10. Rematch City
After a lengthy kickoff show, SummerSlam proper opened with Enzo and Big Cass versus the dream team of Chris Jericho and Kevin Owens. The bout was a fun opener with some good action, but a surprising finish - Jeri-KO won when Owens threw Enzo up and Jericho caught him with a Codebreaker on the way down.
Common logic would dictate that the established babyface tandem goes over the makeshift heel duo, especially since Jericho is rumored to be leaving WWE again in the near future. The only ways this win would make sense for the heels is if they're about to challenge for the tag titles (they're not) or if a rematch is brewing. The latter seems pretty likely.
Setting up rematches seemed to be the order of the day, especially on the Raw brand. Both the New Day-Club and Roman Reigns-Rusev feuds will need to lead to bouts at next month's Clash of Champions, and the Sasha Banks-Charlotte and Finn Balor-Seth Rollins bouts will also need to be brought back if injuries don't get in the way. It looks like there won't be much new ground broken on Raw anytime soon.
