#11 Great Balls of Fire (July 9)

Weird as hell name, hot as hell build.

This show was far more notable for the build going into it rather than the event itself. While the build was red hot, no match on the card was truly outstanding. Samoa Joe vs. Brock Lesnar proved to be an intense one, but compared to the build, it underdelivered, ending in less than 7 minutes (not counting the pre-match attack by Joe). Though not as disappointing as the No Mercy match with Braun Strowman, it was still a letdown.

Aside from the main event, the other matches on the card were a bit random. Bray Wyatt scored an empty victory over Seth Rollins in an empty feud. The Miz and Dean Ambrose would, fortunately, conclude their lengthy feud at this event, but it wasn't a climactic ending. Putting Big Cass and Enzo Amore against each other is a sure recipe for disaster, and that's what happened.

Corey Graves deleted his Tweet! More details HERE.

We did see a relatively good match between Sasha Banks and Alexa Bliss, but it also ended anticlimactically.

The highlight of the show was the tag team title ironman match between The Bar and the Hardyz, but it was far from the best work in that division this year.

Overall, Great Balls of Fire wasn't a terrible event, but nothing really stood out either.
