I have no idea why you're watching WWE weekly TV. It's almost always terrible, borderline unwatchable, and only exists so that WWE editors can cut down 20+ hours worth of content into 2-minute long hype packages before each major match on the PPVs.

The better scenario is to ignore TV entirely, find a wresling channel you like on Youtube (Cultaholic, WrestleTalk, Wrestling With Wregret, WhatCulture, etc) to get a short summary of what happened on TV, then get together with some friends and get moderately drunk to watch the PPVs (with bonus points for getting food and making it a party-like atmosphere). That's what I do, and it's pretty much the only reason I can even attempt to watch wrestling at all these days.

I might start watching AEW once it's on TV, but we'll see.

As for SummerSlam, it was actually pretty good (again, while mildly inebriated and filled with grilled meats), and the consensus I've heard is that it was better than Takeover (which may be the first time in WWE history that you could ever honestly say that about the main card PPV versus the NXT one in any given weekend). Takeover wasn't bad, but it also wasn't really up to traditional NXT standards.

But as for hype going in, the pre-PPV attitude mostly seemed to be:

1) Let's just get most of this over with

2) Also, I really want to see Brock beat the shit out of Seth, because Seth's really been a tool lately

3) Holy shit, I want to see how they introduce the Fiend, and I hope it's super-cool, even while I'm terrified of all the ways they can ruin it

After-PPV, most people seem to think most of the matches were relatively good (other than the Kofi/Orton match), Seth went a long way to redeem himself, and the Fiend was the best thing they've done in 20 years.
