SummerSlam: The Brooklyn Years (2015-2018) 

best match from these years? I got Joe v Roman v Lesnar v Strowman.

In retrospect, looking back at John Cena vs. AJ Style was already gonna be expected as a known classic. The man who was the face of WWE and the man who was the face of TNA. That was a dream match that a lot didn't think would be fulfilled until AJ Styles made his debut.

AJ Styles vs John Cena is still my favourite wrestling match ever. Something about those 2 clashing gave me chills. The incredible atmosphere. The edge of the seat nearfalls. And the phenomenal ending. LOVED IT.

"Two Samoan Joe's " coolest pun i ever heard today 😂

💎 Summer Slam '15-'18 produced loads of bangers: Rollins vs Cena, Lesnar vs Undertaker, Cesaro vs Owens, Styles vs Cena, Banks vs Charlotte, Lesnar vs Reigns vs Joe vs Strowman, Usos vs New Day, Rollins vs Ziggler,... 🔥

Im so happy you mentioned the Takeovers. They were the perfect appetizer to the main shows and what made it more special was that not only were they almost always better than the big show following it, but there were only 4 or 5 a year.

Imagine if we got John Cena vs Edge vs Seth Rollins vs Roman Reigns for The Universal Championship at SummerSlam 2021?? That would’ve been crazy.

I went to all of these events live (born in Brooklyn and lucky enough to be able to afford tickets) and they were so awesome man. As a young kid these were some of my first live wrestling events and as this video goes on I can still remember each and every match live. Biggest crowd reactions were definitely Seth walking out in that white attire and the unveiling of the universal title.

AJ Styles v John Cena is probably my favorite SummerSlam match of all time. Both wrestlers mean so much to me. Cena was one of my childhood favorites and his US open challenge got me back into WWE after I hadn’t watched in years. On the other hand, AJ Styles’ work over in NJPW led me down a rabbit hole of other amazing pro wrestling companies and broadened my view on the industry. The match didn’t disappoint one bit and it’s one that I continue to go back to from time to time.

I was there for three years at SummerSlam from 2016, 2017 and 2018. At the time I was hyped as a WWE fan my whole life since growing up but SummerSlam 2016 was my first live event and it's my second time at Barclays Center. Reason being I graduated college and my graduation ceremony took place there July 2013, 10 years this year. Now 2016 was the most exciting time ever indeed. 2017 I'll never forget I enjoyed the overwhelming main event that made my jaw dropped. 2018, the final SummerSlam held in Brooklyn was something a fan could want more but steadfastly it was rough. My take is those three years I've been at watching SummerSlam the storylines would've gotten more interesting with the superstars and make it execute perfectly that make the audience dropped their jaws and endless chants of "this is awesome 👏👏👏👏) Had they've brought back in Brooklyn every summer I pay my money's worth. What memories man.

I remeber every SummerSlam from the Brookyln era (2015-2018) and this was during my early to mid teen years.

Brooklyn really really really loved their Summerslam during this time. Feel like they could've done 1 year in the time frame not in Brooklyn but I'm not complaining considering if the Summerslam sucked or didn't seem interesting there was always NXT Takeover Brooklyn

Although the entire 2000s catalog of SummerSlam, aka the green S logo era, and the LA years, will always be my favorite time for SummerSlam (2000-2014), the Brooklyn era truly did have some special matches and moments. Whether that be Taker Vs Brock of 2015, the entirety of 2016, the Fatal 4 Way of 2017, AJ Styles Vs Samoa Joe, the birth of “The Man” Becky Lynch, and Roman historically ending the worst title reign of all time back in 2018, and many more. It truly was a unique and fun time, and I hope that everyone who went to these events, truly remember the memories for life.❤️ Nice video, bro.👍

gotta appreciate The Miz title reign he made the IC title the top prize of Raw when Lesnar was on his vacation.

The nostalgia. 2017 was saved by the fatal 4 way

SummerSlam always hits defferent 🔥💥🔥

I am ready. I remember this era of summer slam and I love your takes so I'm ready for this one

It really hurts when you hear that Sami, KO, Edge, Balor, Rollins won't have a match at this SummerSlam this is the time when WWE can really have like 8-10 matches for the show they literally have couple of great storylines running, big title matches, returns this SummerSlam has so much potential man.

Literally this topic of the Brooklyn SummerSlam was a topic I NEVER thought would get it’s own literal video. But I always wanted it and got it from the goat. Glooks man

Summerslam 2016 is the best summerslam in Brooklyn New York. I agree with him.

Summerslam 2017 main event was an absolute Banger It easily could've been the match of the year Unfortunately in the same year we had Cena vs Styles at Rumble TBH it was a bit better but summerslam fatal four was an awesome match too (just a bit too predictable since lesnar said he'll leave wwe if he looses😵‍💫)

Summerslam 2016 was my favorite ppv

I'm sitting in my house completely bored RU-vid:

Damn dawg, this is so nostalgic for me. I miss life in back in these years. When I heard the big summer song by CFO, I just sat in silence for a few minutes. Great vid as always man

That AJ Styles vs Cena then the world champ run was special man

Man what can I say just amazing I can't help waiting for the next amazing video keep up the great work

Every season in the background made the video even better

Quick note: WWE had a live show in May of 2016 at MSG. The main event was AJ Styles vs John Cena. The Summerslam match was the SAME exact thing step by step. The top rope AA beat AJ at the live show but he kicked out at Summerslam.

Your videos are so dope, dude.

Braun strowman is so underrated bro😭😭😭😭😭

Summerslam in Brooklyn was 🔥🔥

Pls keep making vids about 2014-2017, my favorite years havent watched wwe since then and love watching these vids to look back at these times

I was so excited about Undertaker and Brock Lesnar going one on one at SummerSlam 2015, but i hated the way that match ended. Lesnar should’ve lost at WM31, Taker should’ve lost at SummerSlam ‘15, & Lesnar should’ve won clean at Hell in a Cell ‘15.

Original plan for main event of summer slam 2018 :Braun attempt to cash his money in the bank contract after the match only for dean and seth reunite with roman . But brock changed , what a awesome ending we could had for summer slam😭

Boy did I take this for granted. 2015 had meet & greets for HBK & Sting on Friday, the first NXT Takeover on Saturday, Summerslam Sunday, Then Monday Night Raw where the Dudley’s came out 😢

I went to all of those shows and it was pretty fun. I do remember the nxt takeovers the night before were better for the first 2 years at least.

I’m so excited that this years SS will be the first PPV I get to see live

banger as per

When I got the notification I immediately clicked on it😉

You are my favorite RU-vidr bro

Da good ole days

Because in 2016 my childhood best friend passed away.

Cool!!!

Last year's Summerslam was perfect, before dat was 2013 and 2016 for me

John Cena VS Seth Rollins Is Epitome Of "Great Match Ruined By Bad Finish". I Feel Like PPL Don't Talk About Enough Just Bcoz Of The Finish But Beside That The Match Is Freakin' Awesome. 🙇🏽‍♂️🐐

There's a certain point in my wrestling timeline memory where it just becomes a blur lol like I remember some matches on cards but not the whole card I remember the moment of cesaro ripping the beach ball up It's very fun for me going back and watching old shows because I legit don't remember the outcome of some matches 😂

One thing is certain, Seth has done so much for WWE throughout the last decade. Especially when the company was in trouble like 2017-2018. Monday Night Rollins gimmick gave some fresh air to WWE Fans especially Monday Night Raw. It is a shame that people still criticize him for no good reason.

I went to see SummerSlam at Brooklyn again

I miss NXT TakeOver so much. These NXT specials aren’t the same. At all

AJ Styles Vs John Cena was one of the best matches ever. I personally liked this match more than royal rumble 2017 one because it had an unpredictability factor. The best SummerSlam match of the Brooklyn years easy.

14:54 i caught that pun "the two samoan joes"😭😭

I like what you did at 14:54 two samoan joes 💀

The 2 Samoan joes lol. Loved that.

off topic but that deadpool themed rollins gear was clean

As someone who went to all four then the post raws, it was a really fun time. Favorite match was definitely summerslam 2016 where Aj styles finally beat John Cena clean.

I was there at Summerslam 2015

Brooklyn New York Started: August 23rd 2015 Ended: August 19th 2018

summerslam 2015 was my first time watching summerslam live, I was 14, I remember thinking for the first time that I'm watching a classic wrestling match in cena vs seth, I really hated it didn't have a clean finish even back then

My match of 2015 was Sasha Banks VS Bayley. By far match of that year. Also Royal Rumble 2015 3 way WWE Championship was my favorite too.

Summerslam. By far, one of WWE’s best pay per views. Let’s see if this years SummerSlam Pay Per View will be good. I say let’s go all out! Also, Super Kick. Another meme around this time was the Pay Per View was the Great Balls of Fire ☄️ pay per view. Like what kind of name is that?! It was so funny, yet so cheesy at the same time.

My dad for these and I am from Brooklyn

You against you by Slayer should have been the theme song for SummerSlam 2015

Could you make a vid about Kane?

Can't believe you didn't mention the best match of SummerSlam 2017... that didn't even happen on the main show: New Day vs. The Usos

Owens vs cesaro at summerslam 2015 was pretty good too

I miss when LA hosted summer slam

Remember summerslam 2002 still the greatest ppv ever 👈👈👈

John Cena put on 2 classics back to back years Rollins and styles

The Demon King was really a major player for these shows

Not the best era of summerslams, but the shows were enjoyable. My favorite summerslam from that era is 2016. Aj styles vs Cena is still the best summerslam match since Brock vs cm punk in 2013. Finn vs Seth is great and Charlotte vs Sasha banks is very good.

Also now looking back on this, they could’ve easily revived the OG World Heavyweight Championship at SummerSlam ‘16 instead of giving us that awful Universal Championship.

2017 was brauns year. Match of the year to

If I remember correctly, The reason why Jon Stewart cost Cena the match at Summerfest '15 was because "He didn't want Cena to break Ric Flair's championship record"

My favorite summerslam is 2021

2016 summerslam

They should go back

I’m requesting a video reviewing NXT since the revamp!!!

Video Idea: The Rise Of Triple H Full career retrospective

That all white Seth Rollins gear still GOATED. Seth definitely was never the same after that knee injury. Karma for Injurying others tho.

The one event that has two "Misters" Seth Rollins and Brock Lesnar

Can we get a Summerslam 2013 retrospective?

Great vid, can you do one on crown jewel 2018? That show is widely regarded as the worst WWE PPV of all time.

Especially with Daniel Bryan now in the rivalry promotion. And Miz and Daniel Bryan real life don't like each other.

The Somoan Joes 💀

damn Charlotte pre surgeries 4:06 😭

Do The LA Years next, 2009 - 2014

Throws the chair at the 2 samoa joes 😭

2:44 the moment the 1st undiputed unified champ born and was not roman.

I'm also training to become a professional wrestler. Please don't mention 2016😢.

The Brooklyn era of SummerSlam (2015-2018) gave us some awesome matches and my personal favorites were Cena Vs AJ from SummerSlam 2016 & the Universal Championship Fatal 4 Way Match at SummerSlam 2017 P.S: do you plan on doing the same for the SummerSlam events that took place in Los Angeles (2009-2014) cause I'd love to see that video too

14:54 AH HA!

brooklyn brooklyn bringing the hood to you

Volume is crazy low on this video.

At Summerslam 2015 i enjoy that Rollins vs Cena match.

I hope they make it LA once again

Far from being the best period of SummerSlam. I personnally think the last true great SummerSlam is the one from 2013. And I highly doubt SummerSlam 2023 will be that great. That's just me.

I remember that Rousey match vs. Bliss. Bliss lost a lot of credibility that year.

The summerslam 2017 main event proves exactly why Big E is so right about big meaty men slapping meat

Summerslam not being in stadiums in these years looks so jarring. They did this so they could just run the same arena for Raw the next night to save money.

They need to go back to Brooklyn now that the product is better
