3 Things The SummerSlam Crowd Loved, 2 Things They Didn't

Didn't Love: Alexa Bliss and Eva Marie's SummerSlam match

This match just did not garner a reaction at all from the SummerSlam crowd. Eva Marie and Doudrop came out first with little to no interaction from the fans. Alexa Bliss came out to some scattered cheers and boos, but nothing like what we've seen in the past.

Alexa Bliss and Eva Marie went second on the SummerSlam card, following RK-Bro and AJ Styles & Omos, which could have added to the crowd not being so big into the match. At one point in the match, the crowd even started chanting "we want Wyatt" loud enough to even hear it on the SummerSlam stream. This match just could never get off the ground with the fans, and it honestly killed any momentum the Raw Tag Team Championship match garnered before.

Loved: RK-Bro win tag team gold

WWE made a great choice for the SummerSlam opening match. Riddle is from Las Vegas, NV, and fans were eager to cheer for him and his tag team partner Randy Orton. The SummerSlam crowd loved Riddle's hot tag to Orton, and Orton hitting Styles with an RKO sent the crowd into a frenzy early on in the night.

Riddle and Orton getting tag team gold in Riddle's hometown of Las Vegas made for an incredibly great moment to open SummerSlam. As stated earlier, this match could be the reason the Eva Marie vs. Alexa Bliss match didn't go over so well. The match only went a little over 7 minutes, but from the fans being excited to see Riddle, to the pair winning gold, it was an early bright spot for SummerSlam.
