WWE SummerSlam 2016: Why the Match Card Order made the show collapse!

Was it Sasha, was Charlotte, oh wait a minute, it was Cena, nooo it was AJ Styles, no was Roman Reigns? Maybe we thought Nikki Bella!! This is what the card order did!!

While the show was entertaining, the ending of the show was relatively disappointing. However, what some people have rightly pointed out was the erratic nature of how the card shaped up. Enzo and Cass did a tremendous job of kicking off the show and getting the crowd warmed up. But suddenly, from there, the card appeared to have been haphazardly shuffled like a deck of playing cards. The second bout on the main show ended up being the Sasha Banks vs. Charlotte rematch. Sasha and Charlotte definitely deserved to be higher up on the card after their incredible title match on Monday NightRaw.

Miz and Crews got unfortunately sandwiched between Sasha vs. Charlotte and perhaps the match of the night, and arguably the match of the entire SummerSlam weekend, in John Cena vs. AJ Styles. SummerSlam featured two matches that would end in a disqualification and a no contest: New Day vs. The Club for the Tag Team titles and Roman Reigns vs. Rusev for the United States title. The Tag Team title match and the United States title match could have certainly come before both Sasha vs. Charlotte and Cena vs. Styles.


Additionally, WWE returned to their old ways in putting a women’s wrestling match between the WWE Championship and the UniversalChampionship match to allow the crowd to take a breather. Becky, Naomi, and Carmella vs. the returning Nikki Bella, Natalya, and Alexa Bliss suffered from a drained crowd that was still trying to get back into the show after Cena vs. Styles and a disappointing match between Ambrose and Ziggler.
