10 WWE SummerSlam 2017 Impulse Reactions

10. Emptiness

Starting as they meant to go on, WWE managed to pour disdain on the crowd before many had even taken their seats. Three of Monday Night Raw's biggest stars (and three shambling midcarder sidekicks) took their respective bows before over half the audience had even managed to get in the building.

Early post-show hubbub has suggested that doors didn't actually open until (Kickoff) showtime, forcing many to rush to the stands in an effort to see The Hardy Boyz and The Miz in action alongside Jason Jordan and The Miztourage respectively.

Regardless of what actually forced the confusion, it was an unusually embarrassing production flub for WWE, and necessitated most of the match being shot from a tight low angle in a noble effort to mask the largely vacant Barclays Center. Things nearly fell apart at the very end, when, celebrating victory, Miz went to jaw-jack with a ringsider (literally one ringsider) before the 'monkeys in the truck' aggressively switched to a face-saving replay instead.

Incidentally though, it was the least negative reaction Jason Jordan has received since the revelation of Kurt Angle as his biological father, so the organisation were able to gleam one positive from an otherwise rotten affair.
