WWE SummerSlam 2016: Live coverage, results and more

Both men came flying out of the gate, trying to hit their finishers and other big moves on each other right off the bat instead of waiting until later in the match. Cesaro and Sheamus were so intent on causing each other pain that neither was able to get a clear advantage over the other for very long; every time one started to gain the upper hand for more than a few moments, the other would come up with a counter and start to bring momentum back his way.

Cesaro and Sheamus both wound up trading blows outside the ring, with Sheamus managing to get into the ring with time to spare in the referee’s countout, but Cesaro could only just barely roll in before he got to 10 and disqualified the Swiss Superman. Cesaro was able to stun Sheamus with his patented repeated uppercuts and knocked the Irishman off the turnbuckle with a massive dropkick.

For a year now, we’ve been asking if any NXT show could be “better than Brooklyn.” For a year now, we’ve been — well, “disappointed” isn’t the right word, as NXT has put on some killer events since TakeOver: Brooklyn, but you get the drift. Now, though, we have an event that could maybe match the greatest live special in NXT’s history, and, not coincidentally, it’s also in Brooklyn.

Let’s talk NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn II, which could signal another massive shift in the WWE developmental brand we all know and love. Maybe it won’t be as good as the original, but getting even 75 percent of the way there will make for a wonderful show this Saturday. You can watch the event on the WWE Network, beginning at 8 p.m. ET.
