Kevin Owens Returns! WWE SummerSlam Night 2 Better Than 1? : The Gimmick

**SPEAKER_1** (0:02)
Hello, ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to The Gimmick Night 2 of SummerSlam. As usual, I'm the Canadian Nightmare, and we are welcomed and joined by Charlotte's number one fan.

**David** (0:13)
No, Chelsea. Oh, dear.

**SPEAKER_1** (0:15)
It's so smart. Okay, now, see, I don't have you on maximize. There you go. Chelsea's number one fan, not Charlotte. See, I'm taking that back. But David, how's it going?

**David** (0:25)
I'm even better now that the real queen of WWE has won the interim title. So I get more Chelsea Green on my TV, which just makes for damn good television.

**SPEAKER_1** (0:39)
Yeah. So we'll talk about that because it was a big night for her.

**SPEAKER_3** (0:43)
I don't know.

**SPEAKER_1** (0:44)
I see what Espo's has here. I should just kick him.

**SPEAKER_3** (0:45)
You know what?

**SPEAKER_1** (0:46)
Espo's couldn't make it tonight. If you let it on the audio, he's got Dan Howson. He's got, what's the little guy there called?

**SPEAKER_3** (0:55)
Minnie Howson.

**David** (0:58)
That one is Torito to be specific. The guy who used to be dressed as the bull for the WeLC matches for those who was around for the WeLC time. Torito.
It was El Torito. So now he's Torito Howson.

**SPEAKER_1** (1:14)
He's always stealing moments. But there you go.
We got lots of time out tonight. But Espos, how are you doing tonight with you and Torito Howson?

**SPEAKER_3** (1:23)
I'm doing good.

**SPEAKER_1** (1:24)
Yeah. But we're going to talk about everything. We did night one last night. And I'll throw it to David. David, give your quick elevator thoughts on night one and then transition that into your night two. Tonight, we're just talking about SummerSlam night two or unless any other news pops up. We did some AW talk last night. We had s-bubs. There will be another show closer to All In. And then the next, we don't know what that is, but we can guarantee that there'll be an All In post-show because that happens like at Sunday, 10 a.m. Like it happens early afternoon, morning. So we'll be able to do that. So that's going to be the next few times. But David, what do you think of night one quickly? And then transition your thoughts into night two overalls before we get down to the match by match breakdown.

**David** (2:05)
Night one was cool. It was fine. Like it wasn't any, nothing major happened. Most of the stuff kind of went the way that I thought. Like we were talking offline, I felt like they kind of sped run both of these PLEs. Like they are trying to get the people home and in bed on time, which like I get it compared to the, you know, the AEW, you're getting out way too late, but these I feel like are just getting done way too early. But you know, night one was fine. I was surprised by the ending of Brock Oba with Brock coming back and doing the whole passing of the torch thing. But that was still like a cool moment. I expected Oba to win, but that was a nice little surprise. And I was a little bit disappointed that CM Punk and Cody Rhodes ended on Randy Orton coming in and doing the distraction, everything like that. For all they're talking about, I need to beat you in a good wrestling match, and I need to prove I'm the best wrestler. I was wanting Punk to win, but I was wanting Punk to just straight up win, while also kind of getting Cody to do a couple of heel tactics while not going full heel. But I just wanted them to have a good match, and I'm not too excited about the Randy Orton inserting himself. But other than that, for the most part, it was fine. What about Night 2?
Night 2 was a better night for me, like wrestling wise.
I will say that it continues to be an issue for me, the music. Baron Corbin coming back, they owned his old music. I don't know why they didn't give him End of Days back. This new music is trash.

**SPEAKER_1** (3:49)
He's a new man, a new look. Well, it's the same look. I keep trying to tell me he's a new guy, and I don't see this new guy happening.

**David** (3:59)
And then like I put in the Discord, Chad Gable's music sounds like something out of a Will Ferrell movie of him pretending to be a wrestler. That's what it just sounds so AI generic. But other than that, he got his little good hometown moment. The women's ladder match had some incredible spots. Even the spot that they botched with the pulling down Charlotte, and then they hopped her back up to transition to that jade, swinging around for the kick was still fun. That pop-up powerbomb from Lash Legend, Tiffany had me just like, wondering if Tiffany was okay. And then my girl Chelsea Green went it all for some great television. And then that final match, Roman and Seth. Seth is a true troll through and through.
