Edge vs. Seth Rollins (WWE SummerSlam 2021)
Trending
Out of all the non-title matches on the SummerSlam 2021 card, Edge vs. Seth Rollins was easily the most anticipated. It also had arguably the best buildup to this pay-per-view as well. Both men have cut masterful promos that have built excitement and hype for them to lock up for the first time. This was a true dream match of two of the most decorated superstars in WWE history.
From the introductions, this had a big-time feel to it. Seth Rollins came out in brand new ring gear. Edge had one of the coolest entrances in SummerSlam history, coming out to the old Brood theme music with the fire engulfing him at the entranceway and then into his usual theme. This got an amazing pop from the Allegiant Stadium crowd.

Edge showed that he might be better now than he was when he retired ten years ago. His facial expressions, body language, and selling have been top-notch in this matchup as well as last month in the Money In The Bank 2021 main event against Roman Reigns. Seth Rollins brought it here and was in top form, looking to deliver a classic at SummerSlam 2021.
The Rated R Superstar broke out some new moves with a swinging neckbreaker off the top and a beautiful tribute to his wife Beth Phoenix with the Glam Slam for a nearfall. Seth brought his best stuff with the superplex into the falcon arrow and even broke out the Phoenix Splash. However, he missed the splash, leading to Edge hitting a spear for a great nearfall.
The Vegas crowd at WWE SummerSlam 2021 were fully into the near-falls and the seesaw action. Edge countered the Stomp and eventually locked in a crossface with a bulldog choke for the submission win. It was an outstanding encounter that fully exceeded all expectations heading in. Edge and Seth Rollins stole the show.
Star rating: ****1/2
