10 WWE SummerSlam 2020 Impulse Reactions

10. Forever Young

With John Bradshaw Layfield and Peter Rosenberg booked SummerSlam Kickoff Guests, the return of the panel to a live setting could have been instantly destroyed had it not been for Renee Young enjoying her last hurrah with the organisation.

Charley Caruso paid fitting tribute to her broadcast colleague as she formally took her place as the company's chief anchor. In the time she had, Young gently mocked the absurdity of the Thunderdome and otherwise played it professional, affable and as awesome as always.

Young's run has been one of the longer in company history in her position as interviewer/host, with a steadiness on the microphone that's been long abandoned within the product itself during her tenure.

Within minutes of the warm welcome, we witnessed a bit of WWE production silliness that undercut it - Young and Caruso were asked to swap chairs for whatever reason, before Booker T noted "a lot of people around here don't like Charley Caruso" and JBL started banging on about "fake news".

Some people are too good for wrestling, and especially WWE. She'll be massively missed, but better off out of there.
