Summer Of 2016 in WWE was Wild
Ойын-сауық
2016 was an up and down year for WWE. We saw a mediocre Wrestlemania but there were a ton of bright spots. We saw AJ Styles debut in WWE, Dean Ambrose Finally became WWE champion and Summerslam was a blast. The starting point for all this was the Summer of 2016. WWE announced they'd be bringing the brand split back. RAW and Smackdown would each have exclusive rosters and Smackdown would be airing live on Tuesday nights. This gave WWE the reset they needed. WWE brought in Daniel Bryan and Mick Foley as GMs for both shows and injected new life into these weekly shows. We had new rosters, new rivalries, and a new feel. Everything was reset. In this video, I talk about where the year 2016 started to really heat up and the amazing aftermath.

I’m 17 so this is my version of the early 2000s for older wrestling fans I was in 6th grade, some of my last days of innocence and not knowing the many struggles and stresses of life. And I absolutely fucking adored this era of wrestling. 2015 and 2016 was such a good culmination of all of the story threads and stuff initiated in 2014-15 eras. It was just a vibe. Honestly wrestling is the best when you have a good memory attached to it that has to do with your life. And 2016 was my golden year no doubt. Absolutely miss those days.

2016 was a special year for the Shield Fans it all started with Seth's return at Extreme Rules Seth vs Roman at Mitb and Dean winning the briefcase and his cash in on the same night a night where all the members of the Shield were wwe champions, Seth vs Roman vs Dean at Battleground with Dean winning it and taking the title on SD later on in Survivor Series we did have small Shield Reunion which was so amazing literally 2016 was the Golden year of Wrestling.
WWE summer Of 2016 was awesome 👏 I miss 2016. WWE Draft was good. No returns. Who cares. That episode of the Draft gave me good memories 😣 RAW: Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns, Finn Bálor, Charlotte Flair, Sasha Banks. New generation of stars. SmackDown: Dean Ambrose, AJ Styles, Randy Orton, John Cena. The land of opportunity! SummerSlam 2016 was fun! AJ Styles and John Cena rivalry was outstanding! Dean Ambrose and Dolph Ziggler feud was great and had the best feud for SummerSlam. Finn Bálor had an amazing birthday. Winning a fatal four way match and defeated Roman Reigns clean. Seth Rollins and Finn Bálor first time ever and great storytelling with a demon king. Randy Orton and Brock Lesnar feud was cool. That episode of RAW when Randy hit that RKO! to Brock Lesnar that was amazing. Charlotte Flair vs Sasha Banks on RAW in July was awesome. Sasha Banks won the RAW Women’s Champion. Chris Jericho and Kevin Owens as a Tag Team was entertaining. Cesaro and Sheamus feud was cool. Roman Reigns and Rusev feud was good. It kept Roman Reigns away from the main event. SummerSlam 2016 was cool. Enzo and Big Cass vs JeriKO was good. Charlotte Flair vs Sasha Banks was cool. Charlotte Flair won 😒 that title reign was short. Apollo Crews vs The Miz was alright. John Cena vs AJ Styles was amazing! AJ Styles won clean. John Cena takes a hiatus for 3 weeks after that match. New Day vs Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson was meh. Dolph Ziggler vs Dean Ambrose was good. Nikki Bella returned. WWE Universal Champion looked stupid and WWE built up the title for 4 weeks. Seth Rollins vs Finn Bálor was awesome. Finn Bálor won The Universal Champion with an injury. Randy Orton vs Brock Lesnar was alright. I was disappointed that this was the ending to SummerSlam. Kevin Owens and Chris Jericho was awesome. Sasha Banks and Charlotte Flair had good to great matches on regular basis. Roman Reigns in the mid card was new and good. Dolph Ziggler and The Miz feud was amazing. Becky Lynch won the SmackDown Women’s Champion! AJ Styles and Dean Ambrose feud was awesome. My favorite moment in 2016 is AJ Styles winning the WWE Champion! WWE in 2016 was a fun time to be a WWE Fan. After WrestleMania 33 WWE went to a different direction and WWE hasn’t been the same since. Hopefully WWE gets that level of great and fun again in mid July of 2021. I will never forget how fun 2016 was. WWE, KZread, and life in general was awesome. Let me live in 2016 one more time.

A review of 2016 and Summerslam cant be complete without a mention of Mauro's commentary; he was the heir apparent to Good ole Jr and he killed it in 2016 and especially during the AJ v Cena match at this event.
I never forget a single movement of 2016 wwe, I don't even miss a single show of that year. Really 2k16 was greatest time of wwe ever.
I live in NY so I was lucky enough to go to Summerslam all 4 years at the Barclays. Let me just say those first 2 hit so different
About 26 years as a wrestling fan, and that summer was just as good as any time period for me
Dude the survivor series 2016 5vs5 and cena vs Styles at SS are two of my favorite matchs of the last decade
2016 was a great year for Wrestling all together
Dean vs Dolph may look lackluster now but back then they built it up pretty good
This year was one of the best years ever in general
That summerslam was really so huge, big
Summer 2016 in general was wild.

This was the year I got back into wrestling. I was checking in and out in 2015 but 2016 was when I fully got back invested in wwe since like 07, 08 i think. There’s been bad years since but 2016 was great As fun as this year was, Ziggler v Ambrose everyone knew ziggler was gonna lose. He’d been the first challenger to so many other stars and always lost. Same I personally didn’t like Sasha v Charlotte ping ponging the women’s title back and forth
