UPW SUMMERSLAM 2026
PREVIEW SHOW
LIVE ON THE UPW NETWORK!
FROM THE UPW STUDIOS
WITH RENEE PAQUETTE, NIGEL MCGUINNESS & TAZ

Wir befinden uns in den UPW Studios und sehen hier nun eine Übertragung, LIVE, auf dem UPW Network. Die Previewshow für den größten PPV des Sommers. UPW Summerslam 2026. Gleich 13 Matches stehen dieses Mal auf der Card und diese werden hier nun gleich von der Moderatorin der Show präsentiert. Dies ist Renee Paquette, die hier durch die Show führen wird. Doch sie ist nicht alleine und hat zwei absolute Experten mit am Pult. Nigel McGuinness und Taz. Gleich zwei ehemalige World Champions die ihre Meinung zum besten geben werden zu den Matches die uns am Sonntag erwarten.

Und so eröffnet Renee hier nun die Show.

Renee Paquette: Ladies and gentlemen... welcome to the UPW Summerslam PREVIEW Show. The show where we take a look at all the great matches that are set to go down, this sunday, from the US Bank Stadium in Minneapolis Minnesota. And here to take a look at those matches and give us their opinion on them are two absolute experts. They have been in the ring for many, many years. And picked up multiple championships along the way. And after they were done kicking people in the ring, they decided to go over to the other side an now they are known for giving people a verbal beatdown every once in a while. Please welcome... Nigel McGuinness and Taz!

Taz: Thank you Renee. It's great to be on this show here tonight. You know, I actually have missed doing this since Unrivaled went on this big break. But now I am here tonight, and I can't wait to tell you all what I think about these matches that are going to go down on sunday. Because, I can promise you this much, I do have some very strong opinions on some of them.

Nigel McGuinness: And I cannot wait to find out what those opinions are. Of course I hope they align with mine, because if not, I might have to give you a little verbal beatdown aswell, Taz. But all jokes aside, it's a pleasure to be here tonight. I have not been on here that much, but hopefully people still remember who I am and what I stand for.

Renee Paquette: Of course the people remember you, Nigel. And so... without further ado... shall we get right on it?

Nigel McGuinness: Oh yeah, lets do it.

Taz: Lets get this thing going, baby.

Renee Paquette: And we are starting things off very hot with our opening match, in which Becky Lynch will take on Brock Anderson in a Bound for Glory rematch. But this time the stakes are much, much higher.

Wir sehen einen kleinen Trailer und eine Grafik für das erste Match.

Opener: Texas Bullrope Match - Referee: Tessa Blanchard
Becky Lynch w Charlotte Flair vs Brock Anderson w Arn Anderson

Renee Paquette: This time these two will go at it in a TEXAS BULL ROPE MATCH, which already makes things alot spicier. But the most important thing is... this match could lead to Becky Lynch getting ADOPTED into the Anderson family as his daughter. Yes, Arn Anderson does want to adopt Becky Lynch... if she can win this match... and Becky Lynch is eager to do so, after she had previously lost to Brock Anderson at Bound for Glory.... after an interference by....... Arn Anderson.

Nigel McGuinness: This reale harkens back to the old days of the OLD Four Horsemen. Do you remember when Tully Blanchard wanted to adopt Ric Flair as his son? Those were the days, I'm telling you. All jokes aside. I do like the idea of getting Becky that Anderson name. I mean, if you think back, there actually were two andersons in the old Four Horsemen. Ole and Arn. So why can't there be two anderson in this version in 2026?

Taz: Well, there can be, but the question is... should there be? Becky Lynch does not need to become an Anderson to be one of the best female wrestlers... on this planet. She has proven it before. And if it wasn't for Arn getting involved, she would have even beaten Brock Anderson at Bound for Glory. We all agree on that, right?

Renee Paquette: Yes, that did seem very likely.

Nigel McGuinness: Could have happend, yes.

Taz: So I hope she beats Brock at Summerslam and then one ups both andersons and just flat out refuses to become a "Anderson" afterall. Because she doesn't need it. And a win against Brock would prove that.

Renee Paquette: Lets also talk about two more things here: This is a Texas Bullrope Match. And this match will have a special guest referee, as Tessa Blanchard will be the official for this match. Misses Money in the Bank who won her briefcase at Bound for Glory will be there to call it down the middle.... or will she?

Nigel McGuinness: Thats the question. We have seen alot of dispute between the Horsemen these last couple of months. And this dispute isn't over as you can see by just looking at this match. You have the two andersons, father and son, on side. And on the other side you have Becky Lynch who will have Charlotte Flair in her corner. And then you have Tessa Blanchard in the middle as the Referee. There are huge rifts between these competitors. And I don't know if this match will be able to solve that.

Taz: That does not seem very likely. I agree. Especially because of the match type which is going to be brutal. Pain will play a big facor in this one. I'm telling you. And pain does not heal any wounds. It only causes more wounds. Bigger wounds. And I know at the end of this one, at least one person is going to be very angry and upset about the result.

Renee Paquette: One man who already is very angry going in to Summerslam is the challenger in the next match. Drew McIntyre will challenge Aleister Black for the UPW NXT Championship in our next match on the card.

Wir sehen den nächsten Trailer - und auch die nächste Grafik, für das nächste Match.

2.Match: UPW NXT Championship
Aleister Black (c) w Zelina Vega vs Drew McIntyre

Nigel McGuinness: Let me tell you, if there is anything more dangerous in the world than a scottish man, it's an ANGRY scottish man. And I can tell you that from many, many first hand experiences, as I had to deal with alot of scots that were mad at me back in the day. But Drew McIntyre might be the angriest, scariest and biggest scottish mad lad I have ever seen. That being said... on the other side you have a man that tends to live outside of this world. The darkest places of our universe. Between the lines. Aleister Black. And maybe the rules of us mere mortals don't apply to him, which is why he was able to beat Drew McIntyre at Bound for Glory.

Taz: Well, you know, for a man that lives "outside" of this world he did something very worldly. He brought in a woman on his side. Zelina Vega. And I don't blame him. We all are looking for love, aren't we? And I am sure we will get to talk about some more about that later on this show. And Zelina vega is a lovely woman. Beautiful, but also very very strong for her size. Which does make me question, if he really brought her in because of her affection for her, or because he thinks that its going to win him more matches?

Renee Paquette: Well, I really don't like to talk about the personal relationships between our UPW Wrestlers, so personally won't be commenting on that. But what I will say is that this is going to be a very very aggressive match. Nigel already said it. Drew McIntyre is furious because of how he lost the NXT Championship back to Black at Bound for Glory, after he had captured it from him at Wrestlemania.

Taz: "Back to black"... do you remember that song? Great song. Love it. Very emotional.

Nigel McGuinness: What the hell are you talking about Taz?

Taz: Amy Winehouse? Alright, nevermind then.

Renee Paquette: Lets move on to the next match before things get too crazy on here.

Nigel McGuinness: Well, if you think this is crazy on here, then I think you are going to absolutely lose your mind when The Gunns will face Juice Robinson and a yet to be determined partner of his in a MINNESOTA STREET FIGHT!

Taz: The Juice is going to be LOOSE! Oh, baby!

Ein Trailer für das erwähnte Match folgt. Ebenso wie die Matchgrafik.

3.Match: Minnesota Street Fight
The Gunns vs Juice Robinson & ???

Renee Paquette: But what a wild rid it was to get this match, right? We all remember when The Gunns and Juice Robinson first came back onto the scene together after hiatus. Reforming Bullet Club Gold to help Juice in his fight against Jay White, who quite literally had stabbed him and the entirety of Bullet Club Gold in the back. But then very soon The Gunns would follow suite and they also would betray Juice Robinson which led this conflict, which has led us all the way here to Summerslam.

Nigel McGuinness: The question is, did the Gunns stab Juice in the back or was it Juice who stabbed them in the back? He has been holding them back for years before that. He was the anker that held down Bullet Club Gold and stopped them from becoming even greater than they were. The Gunns did the right thing by dropping thad dead weight in my opinion.

Renee Paquette: You really think that? Let's not forget that Juice Robinson himself is a former tag team champion.

Nigel McGuinness: Yes he was... because of the Switchblade. Because of Jay White. And I think we are gonna see that at Summerslam when he has to get into the match with someone else as his partner.

Taz: I really wonder who that is going to be. Any guesses?

Renee Paquette: Honestly, I have no idea! Juice Robinson is such a special guy. It's hard to predict who he's gonna pull out of his hat.

Nigel McGuinness: I don't know, but I do think that the Gunns may know already. They are very clever guys. And whoever it is, they may have already figured it out.

Taz: Well, that would mean that Juice Robinson knows who it's going to be himself. And judging by his last appearence on saturday nights main event... I am not so sure about that. But either way, I think this is going to be an absolute BANGER of a match. It's a Minnesota street fight. And as an ECW-Alumni I do know a thing or two about a street fight. About a hardcore match.

Renee Paquette: Oh, that sounds like you are offering your services to Juice. Are you?

Taz: No, thank you very much. Those days where I would bust people open on a weekend are behind me. But I'll gladly watch some good old busting in this match, if thats whats going to happen. If Juice has found an partner, that is.

Renee Paquette: Yes, sometimes it's not easy to find a partner here in the UPW that is willing to go through fires with you. Fortunately for the next two women on our card, they did just that. Liv Morgan and Bayley have been teaming here in the UPW in the last couple of weeks, but it seems the purpose of this team is not agreed upon, which is why they will decide whats going to happen with the team the old fashioned way. In a match, where the winner gets to decide what happens next.

Wir sehen einer Trailer für das Match von Liv Morgan gegen Bayley.

4.Match: if Bayley wins, Liv Morgan must agree to go after the Womens Tag Team Championship with Bayley
Liv Morgan vs. Bayley

Taz: Well, I have never heard of a wrestler refusing to go after a title if they had the chance to do so. But thats what Liv Morgan has decided. She does not want to target the womens tag team championship with Bayley. But If she loses this match, she will have no choice. If Bayley beats Liv Morgan, Liv will be forced to do her best to get a hold of the gold.

Renee Paquette: We don't know who will have the gold after this match is done, as a match for those titles is still to come later on this card. But Liv herself admitted that she does not want to do it, because she believes that it would again mean that she would to have cross paths with Reborn and Tegan Nox.

Nigel McGuinness: And I don't blame her for it. Tegan Nox and the ladies of Reborn are a scary bunch. Very scary. And I am not sure if Bayley even realizes that. Liv however does. Because she has been in the ring with Tegan Nox. She knows what it feels like to have Tegan and Reborn as your enemy. She made a very wise choice to refuse to get herself into that trouble again.

Renee Paquette: Many fans however do want to see this match. They believe that Liv can and should even set her sights on Tegan herself again. And they believe that "The Storywriter" and Bayley can beat the most dominant group of women the UPW has ever seen. IF they are even champions at that point, as there are still the Brawling Birds who want to make sure that thats not the case, at all cost.

Taz: At the end of the day, it doesn't matter what the fans want. It doesn't matter what they believe. What matters what our competitors believe. Because if you don't go out into that ring KNOWING that you are going to be able to beat the other person in there with you...you have already lost.

Nigel McGuinness: I fully agree with that. Even if Bayley can win this match. Even if she can make Liv Morgan come along with her on that chase of the womens tag titles. If Liv is forced to do it, there is absolutely 0 chance of them becoming the champions. No matter who the champs are at that point.

Renee Paquette: I did love to watch and see how their partnership did grow over time though. Bayley and Liv had a rough start to it. Lets remember their loss against Bound for Glory here for a second, where they were defeated by Paige and Chelsea Green. A loss that Bayley largely blamed Liv Morgan for, which I am not sure was really fair. But they talked it out. and their teamwork improved. They trained together. And they did a lot better in their matches following that. So no matter what happens at Sunday, I hope when everything is over, that new partnership and friendship with them will still be there after that match.

Nigel McGuinness: Speaking of Chelsea Green. You just mentioned, Renee, how she and my fellow english badass wrestler, Paige, did defeat Liv and Bayley at Bound for Glory. Chelsea Green will be in action our next match. But this time she will not be teaming with Paige. This time she will be teaming with Buddy Matthews, in an even stranger partnership than her partnership with Paige.

Der nächste Trailer - und die nächste Grafik.

5.Match: Mixed Tag Team Match for "The Tape"
LA Knight & Michin vs. Buddy Matthews & Chelsea Green

Renee Paquette: And they will be facing LA Knight and Michin, who really have been gaining alot of popularity in the last couple of weeks amongst our UPW fans. And that in large part because of that mysterious videotape that they apparently posess, which they said could and would shatter the UPW to its core when they reveal it. That videotape now of course is just known as.... "THE TAPE"... and we still have no idea whats actually on it, right?

Nigel McGuinness: Yes. We don't. However it will be on the line for this match, as both Buddy Matthews and Chelsea Green have claimed that they are on the tape. Something that LA Knight and Michin have denied multiple times. And well, I don't know whats going on here, but I know that at least one person her must be lying.

Taz: At least one person is indeed incorrect in their assertion in regards to whats on the tape. But maybe we will know more when this match is over. Afterall this match is actually for the posession of "THE TAPE". Whoever wins this match, gets to have it. And while I am sure that Buddy Matthews would not show it if he gets a hold of it, as he does claim it does contain a dark secret of him. I would not be surprised if Chelsea Green just went ahead and showed us all the damn thing, despite the fact that she claims that she's actually the person on it. Which would make you think she would like to keep the contents of it a secret. But her ego might be big enough that she might actually would want to make sure that EVERBODY knew that she really was on the tape all along.

Renee Paquette: That's actually really interesting idea. Maybe that way we could actually find out more about this big mystery. Because as of now, we don't know to much about it at all, right? I mean.... how did LA Knight and Michin get it? Who produced it? Why are they not just showing it? Why have they instead decided to start teasing us all with it?

Nigel McGuinness: That is a very good question, that I cannot answer. Maybe they really are waiting for someone to act? Maybe the time is not right? Or maybe they are just playing us all? Maybe this is just all for attention?

Taz: Well they do have my attention. But not because of the tape, but becaues LA Knight and Michin already have shown to me that they are two great professionals inside of that ring when it counts, as they both already individually got wins over Chelsea Green and Buddy Matthews. Now the question is going to be on Sunday: Can they repeat that success as a team aswell? If they do, I think we are looking at two individuals with a great future here in the UPW. And I am not saying that because they got this thing called "the tape".

Renee Paquette: All four of the individuals in this match are great, in my opinion. And thats what makes this match so interesting. Even if it wasn't for the tape. However, that surely does make it alot more interesting. Now.... moving on from that, lets take a look at the next match on our card, which features two of the best women on this planet. One is the longest reigning womens champion of all time. And the other not only comes from one of the most legendary families in wrestling, but also already had a legendary career herself. Dr. Britt Baker D.M.D and Natalya.

Der Trailer und die Grafik für das match von Nattie gegen Britt Baker folgt als nächstes.

6.Match:
Natalya vs Dr. Britt Baker

Nigel McGuinness: A great introduction there by you, Renee. However, you did make one little mistake. It's not Natalya who is going to be competing in this match. It's going to be NATTIE. And while Natalya is a great wrestler, no doubt. A lot of technical skill. But Natalya can't even compare to what NATTIE is going to be bringing to the table. Nattie is a walking and talking bundle of pure destruction. One of the greatest fighters the world has ever seen. "Badass" does not even come close to describing how absolutely dominating this woman is.

Taz: I have to admit, I do like this new attitude that she has shown. No mercy. Just going out there with the intent to hurt people. I used to be like that too back in the day.

Nigel McGuinness: With all due respect, Taz. Yes, you were the Human Suplex Machine. But you're not Nattie. Not by a long shot. She is THE low-key legend.

Taz: Well, yes, I didn't say I am Nattie. First off I am not a woman.

Renee Paquette: Sorry to interrupt you, guys. But I think we are seriously forgetting something here. Or rather someone. Britt Baker. Yes, Natalya...I mean... Nattie... she is a total inspiration for all women that want to become wrestlers. But Britt Baker has held this division on lockdown for 406 days as the UPW Womens Champion. 406 days! There isn't even another woman that was able to make it to 300 days. But she made it to 406. And she did so during a time where this division was one of the most competitive ever. To keep that title she did beat Tessa Blanchard, Sasha Banks, Alexa Bliss and even Mickie James. Just to name a few of the names. And judging by her last apperance, it almost felt like THIS Britt Baker is back in business. Like this Britt Baker is back to beat Nattie and maybe look towards another run with the title afterwards. I think she totally has got a chance to win this match too.

Nigel McGuinness: I am not counting her out. Against most women she would have a real good chance of winning, now that she has found that agressiveness inside of her again. But not against Nattie. Not against the low-key Legend.

Renee Paquette: Now, going from one record breaking title run, that has already ended, to another record breaking title run, that is still going on... but COULD end this Sunday at Summerslam, when the longest reiging Womens Tag team Champions of REBORN will face The Brawling Birds one more time!

Wieder gibt es ein Video und eine Matchgrafik.

7.Match: UPW World Womens Tag Team Championship Match
Reborn (c) vs. The Brawling Birds

Taz: Technically speaking its 1-1 between those two teams, right? The Brawling Birds did beat Reborn once. In an open challenge non title match, which did get them their UPW Contracts. But then they lost at Bound for Glory. In their home country. When everyone thought they would finally bring Reborns titlereign to an end. But then they lost. Proving once again that Reborn might actually be unbeatable.

Renee Paquette: The interesting thing about this reign however is the fact, that it was Tegan Nox and Dakota Kai who won these belts back at Wrestlemania... in 2025! But in the last couple of months the belts were mostly defended by Anna Jay and Dani Luna, thanks to the Freebird Rule that Tegan Nox wanted to have implemented. However, at Summerslam Anna Jay will be out with a broken rib cage. She is unable to compete. Dani Luna still looks to be one of the women to compete. But who will team with her? Will we see Tegan Nox pulling double duty? Or will Dakota Kai step up? Or could it be Stevie Turner, who just recently became an official Reborn-Member? Or could it be that Tegan Nox made another addition to the Reborn Roster? Anything is possible with them.

Nigel McGuinness: Exactly. Thats what makes them so dangerous. They are unpredictable. They are vicious. They unrelenting. Unforgiving. Each and every single one of them. So it doesn't matter who takes center stage for this match to face the Brawling Birds. They are all equally as impressive and equally as unbeatable.

Taz: I am sure The Brawling Birds would like to disagree with that. As they already did beat Reborn. So they clearely are not so unbeatable afterall.

Nigel McGuinness: Well, there was nothing really on the line on that match. This time it's for the championship. This time it matters. And thats when Reborn thrive.

Renee Paquette: Well, some would say that the pressure really is on Reborn this time. Afterall they just barely were able to beat The Brawling Birds last time. And only because of some unfair help.

Nigel McGuinness: When you are part of reborn, there is always pressure on you. You think Tegan Nox would pick women for reborn that not only can withstand pressure... but thrive on it? Get better because of pressure? You can bet you're entire life savings, that Tegan picked these women exactly because of that. And I think the results show that Tegan Nox did an absolutely perfect job selecting this team.

Taz: Anyone still remember Cora Jade? She was a member of Reborn before, right? She was hand selected by Tegan Nox too, wasn't she? Then why did Reborn kick her out?

Renee Paquette: I remember Cora. And I love that eventually she stood up for herself, before she dissapeared.

Nigel McGuinness: Cora.... Cora.....: Cora.... yes... she was a mistake that Tegan make. But what did she do when she realized that? She corrected that mistake and got rid of her. And because she did it doesn't matter who will compete for Reborn at Summerslam. They will be walking out of the US Bank Stadium... STILL the UPW Womens Tag Team Champions!

Taz: Let's agree to disagree on that then. Can I make next introduction to the next match on our card? Well, it isn't really a match. But a match made in heaven as next up will be the BIG wedding of the SCAPEGOAT.... Jack Perry... and Tatum Paxley.

Dann gibt es einen besonderen Trailer und eine besondere Grafik für die Hochzeit beim Summerslam.

The Big Wedding of Tatum Paxley & Jack Perry
featuring Tatum Paxley, Jack Perry, The Righteous, Allie & Elijah

Renee Paquette: I absolutely love that. Love is in the air! And I still can't believe I am saying that, but I am so happy for Jack Perry ...and Tatum Paxley. I am so happy that they have found eachother. They are absolutely made for each other and they really do bring out the best out of each other. And thats exactly what you want as an companion. A person who makes you happy. A person that makes you the best version of yourself. That you can trust. That you can plan your life with. That is your soulmate. And I believe that is the case with these two.

Nigel McGuinness: I hate to be "that guy"... but can you imagine what sharing your life with JACK PERRY would be like?

Renee Paquette: Of course I don't, but I am not Tatum Paxley.

Nigel McGuinness: Let me rephrase. Would you of your own free will decide to spend your life with someone like JACK PERRY?

Renee Paquette: Again, I am not Tatum Paxley. But I think they are just absolutely perfect for each other. And I am happy for them, because of that. Is that so bad?

Taz: I have to agree with Renee. Love can really change a man. And Tatum did change Jack Perry. For the better. But it wasn't just him. It was The Righteous too, who will be the officials for this wedding. Dutch will be the man to take the vows of Jack and Tatum and officially declare them a married couple. But before they are going to make this life changing moment possible, they already made Jack a better man. Or a "righteous" man as he and the righteous would say. Through challenges. Through a baptization. They turned this once awful man into a respectable human being. Everyone thought it was impossible. But they did it. And I think it's only fitting that they will be there too as the officials for this marriage.

Renee Paquette: But not only they are going to be there. Allie will be there too. The maid of honor for Tatum Paxley. And Killswitch of course will be the best man for Jack Perry. And even an apperance by Elijah has been announced, who will be singing a song for the freshly wed couple. It's all so wonderful. I love it. And I think it's great they are going to allow us all to be part of that at Summerslam.

Nigel McGuinness: Well, I am glad you enjoy it. I know one person who would enjoy it to.... Bryan Danielson. He and his soft heart would get all teary eyed, just like you are right now Renee. But thats because he's soft. And thats why I always was beating him back in the day. Because I don't emotional for something like this. Come on. We're not here for love. We're here for wrestling. For blood. For gore. For Violence. Stop with the lovebabbling and lets get to the next match instead, shall we?

Taz: Well, if you want Violence, Nigel, I think you are going to get it in the next match. And loads of it. As the next match features one of the scariest man I have ever seen in wrestling ring. And I have seen some scary men, believe me. So that does tell you alot about Jacob Fatu.

Renee Paquette: And he will take on not just one but THREE opponents in a 3 on 1 handicap match: Curt Hawkins, Bron Breakker, Ricky Saints... the System.

Dann gibt es den Trailer für dieses Match. Gefolgt natürlich auch hier von der Matchgrafik.

8.Match: 3 on 1 Handicap Match for the Money in the Bank Briefcase
Curt Hawkins, Bron Breakker & Ricky Saints vs. Jacob Fatu

Nigel McGuinness: Allow me to ask you a question, Taz. If Jacob Fatu is this absolutely scary man, why is it that Curt Hawkins is running around with Jacob Fatus Money in the Bank Briefcase?

Taz: Well, you do know why. Because he stole it.

Nigel McGuinness: So induldge me, Taz. If a man steals your property. What do you do about it? Especially if you are supposed to be this scary man. This samoan werewolf. this scary beast, tearing people apart? I tell you what you do about it: YOU TAKE IT BACK. You get a hold of the man that stole your property, you give him a piece of advice in the shape of a physical beatdown, and then you take back what is yours.

Taz: It's not like Jacob Fatu wasn't trying to do exactly that. And you know that, Nigel.

Renee Paquette: And thats why this match is happening, right? And to add to that.... Jacob Fatu even allowed Curt Hawkins to bring Ricky Saints and Bron Breakker into this match. You really can't say that Jacob fatu is not doing anything to make Curt Hawkins pay for taking the briefcase. Which I have to admit... was really clever. And did actually take some BALLS. Because he had to have known that Jacob Fatu would be trying to get it back with all of his powers.

Nigel McGuinness: And thats why Curt Hawkins is one of the best to ever do it. You know, he actually reminds me alittle of myself. He's clever. He's witty. He's got great tactical thinking. And he can outsmart you if you're not careful. But thats not the only way he can beat you. Because when he steps into this ring. He also got the skills in this ring to back it up. And thats why he already beat Jacob Fatu once at Wrestlemania. And this time he's gonna do it again - officially claiming the Money in the Bank Briefcase as his. And the funniest thing about it is, that Curt Hawkins keeps saying just how stupid Jacob Fatu is. And then Jacob Fatu goes out of his way, to prove that he is even more of an idiot that Curt Hawkins claims he is. Why would you make this a 3 on 1 handicap match? Curt Hawkins alone is more than enough to beat that second-hand samoan. But now Bron Breakker and Ricky Saints can join in on the fun too.

Taz: Let's see how much fun they are going to have when they actually are all standing across the ring of Jacob Fatu. That man... he's just something else. I am telling you. I don't know why he made this a handicap match. And I certainly would not have done so myself. But if there is anyone that can beat those three men alone... it's Jacob Fatu. It's the samoan werewolf. I know this is going to be a slugfest. A brawl. A dirty affair. But I believe that at the end we will see the Money in the Bank Briefcase back in the hands of the man that earned it at Bound for Glory. And that man is... Jacob Fatu.

Renee Paquette: And after that match we are going to see another man in action, who came really close to actually becoming the Money in the Bank Winner at Bound for glory himself. And that man is Kyle O'Reilly who made a shocking surprise return after injury at the event. However, he was unable to capture the briefcase. Something that really didn't sit well with him. And he has been acting even more vicious with his words ever since. Specifically targeting the Cody Rhodes and the Rhodes Family... which led to this man stepping up, and making this match official... Dustin Rhodes.

Es kommt der Trailer für das NO DQ Match zwischen Kyle und Dustin Rhodes.

9.Match: No DQ
Kyle O`Reilly vs Dustin Rhodes

Nigel McGuinness: And Kyle is right with many of the things he's been saying. Of course I understand why Dustin Rhodes would not agree with them, as he was one of the people that Kyle specifically targeted. And I do give Dustin credit for stepping up and trying to be a man. But unfortunately, now he has to pay the price for it. And that price is going to be bloody. As this match is going to be a No DQ Match, which means the Violent Artist can do absolutely what he wants with Dustin. And the Ref can only stand by and look on as Kyle draws another violent masterpiece for us.

Taz: Kyle is a brutal man. There is no doubt. And he would have fit back in with us back in the Day. The Sandman.... Tommy Dreamer.... Sabu... Raven.... and myself of course. We all loved the violence inside of this ring. And outside of it. And Kyle is just like us when it comes to that. Normal people would get frightened when they see their own blood. For Kyle and people like us it only means that the match is just really starting now. When you feel your own blood in your face. Mixing together with the blood of your opponent. When your flesh hits the cold hard steel of a chair or gets torn off by barbwire. Thats when our blood really starts to boil. And I promise you, we are going to see alot of that in this match. But on the flipside you always have to say, that Dustin Rhodes can be an absolute X-Factor. This man's career has been said to be ending time and time again. Time and time again people claim that Dustin Rhodes will hang it up. And before that, time and time again people said that Dustin couldn't do something. But time after time he proved his critics wrong. Surprising everyone. Maybe even himself a little at times.

Renee Paquette: His career truly is an inspiration. No matter what he was doing, he always gave it his all. And I am sure he will do the same at Sunday when he takes on Kyle O'Reilly in what could be one of the most brutal matches of the night. If you can't see blood, I am sure this is not going to be match for you.

Nigel McGuinness: But I do hope when things are done, we are going to send out one hell of a crew to clean up the mess, because after that comes a match that I am sure will feature a lot less blood, but instead could be an absolute technical masterpiece. A demonstration of tag team wrestling. Because next on the card we will see the Tag Team Champions in Action. FTR will take on The Rascalz and "FROLLINS" in a Triple Threat Tag Team Match with 2 out of 3 Falls rules.

Auch dafür gibt es hier natürlich nun einen Trailer und die Grafik.

10.Match: UPW World Tag Team Championship - 2 out of 3 Falls Triple Threat Tag Team Match
FTR (w/ Jim Cornette) (c) vs. The Rascalz vs. Frollins

Renee Paquette: Certainly not the match FTR wanted, as they would much rather have faced just the Rascalz in this match. But thanks to Frollins beating the Rascalz at Saturdays Nights Main Event, Frollins were added to this match. Even if FTR didn't like it.

Nigel McGuinness: They did however get something added to the match which does change things, as this is going to be a 3 out of 3 falls match. And the way this will work is, that you don't just need ONE but TWO decisions for you to win the match. Which really does rule out a lot of the shady shenannigans that Frollins and The Rascalz would have pulled otherwise.

Renee Paquette: What do you mean by thatß shady shenannigans?

Nigel McGuinness: Well, it's clear that those two teams are working together, right? I mean... come on... have you seen Saturday Nights Main Event? FTR practically gifted The Rascalz a win. But they refused and instead they gave the win away to Frolllins, so they could be added to the match. Do you really think thats a coincidence?

Taz: I think that this is a conspiracy theory. Instead I think this is a match that the fans really really are going to want to see. The Rascalz are one of the hottest new teams here in the UPW. And they really have been on a roll as of late, despite their loss to Frollins. They did win that massive Gauntlet match to win this title opportunity. And we all know how amazing Frollins are already. They were the tag team champions for 179 days before. And they want to regain those titles. Not just because they want to be champions and everything that comes with that... but also because they want to get their own revenge against FTR now. After all that "Fear the Revenge"-Stuff FTR had been pulling for months, the cards are reversed now and Frollins really want to get their own revenge against FTR. And nothing would hurt FTR more than seeing the belts around the waists of Seth Rollins and Nathan Frazer once again.

Renee Paquette: Oh, thats for sure. Can you imagine the meltdown Jim Cornette will have if that indeed is what happens at Summerslam?

Nigel McGuinness: I think we all can imagine that. But imagening it is all that you can do, because its not going to happen. Instead we will see FTR at their best. Putting on a technical masterpiece. Showing the world why they are not only the best tag team of this generation, but also the best tag team of any generation. They are just absolutely majestic in that ring. And I would have loved to team with them in 6-man tags back in the day. I am not going to lie.

Taz: My money here is on a title change. I am not sure if its going to be the Rascalz or Frollins. But they both bring something to the table that FTR don't: The high flying. The pace of Nathan Frazer. The creativity of The Rascalz. Those are things you just cannot learn. And in a high paced match such as this triple threat tag team match, those things make all the difference. FTR are excellent when they can slow things down. When they can boil everything down to classic tag team wrestling. There may really not be a team on this planet that can perform better in such an enviroment. But thats not the enviroment we are going to have at Summerslam. It's going to be chaotic. And thats why the Rascalz and Frollins have got an edge.

Renee Paquette: From one triple threat match, onto the next one... as Tegan Nox will defend her UPW Womens Championship against two former champions... Asuka and Rhea Ripley. Who will be competing with a broken arm.

Dann gibt es den Trailer für das nächste Match.

11.Match: UPW World Womens Championship Match - Triple Threat No Holds Barred Match*
*No holds barred rules do not apply to Tegan Nox. She can get disqualified and counted out. And title can change hands via DQ or Countout
Tegan Nox (c) vs. Asuka vs. Rhea Ripley

Renee Paquette: Guys, I still cannot believe that Rhea Ripley has been cleared to compete in this match, despite suffering a broken arm because of that brutal attack by Tegan Nox with that baseball bat. How was it even possible for her to get cleared? This must be a miracle.

Nigel McGuinness: It's not a miracle, but just another example of very dubious decisions made by Brandi Rhodes. She wants to ruin Tegan Nox. And she will try anything do do that. Thats why she allowed rhea ripley to compete despit being cleared by some ... "Dr. Isaac Yankem", who Tegan Nox very rightfully called out for being a dentis, who in no way has any right to clear a woman with a broken arm for a wrestling match. If Rhea came to him with a broken tooth... sure. He can say that she can still wrestle with that broken tooth. But a broken arm? What does a dentis know about arms?

Taz: I think its absolutely badass that Rhea even wants to compete with this broken arm. I don't care if a dentist cleared her. A pet doctor could have cleared her, for all I care. If she wants to go out there and be a warrior... let her do it.

Nigel McGuinness: Taz, you do realize who she is going into the ring with? TEGAN FREAKING NOX! We have already spoken about her earlier. Do you have any idea the damage Tegan Nox can do to an already injured Rhea Ripley? After the match that broken arm will look like nothing like a minor bruise. Rhea Ripley is going to leave with a broken BODY, as every single bone in her body could see the same fate as her arm already has.

Renee Paquette: But there is on equalizer in all of this. As this match will have very special rules. It will be a no holds barred match. However it will only be no holds barred for Rhea Ripley and Asuka. Tegan Nox, the Champion will have to follow the rules of a normal wrestling match. And her title could even possibly change hands via DQ or countout. Which is a HUGE disadvantage for Tegan.

Nigel McGuinness: Like I said, Brandi Rhodes wants to see Tegan nox on her knees, thats why she came up with this stupid stipulation.

Renee Paquette: She did come up with it because Tegan Nox took a baseball bat and broke Rhea Ripleys arm with it.

Nigel McGuinness: Injurys happen. This ain't ballet, Renee. Do you know how many broken bones I had? how many bruises. how many tears. I couldn't even count all the injurys I had throughout my career. But thats not Tegans fault.

Renee Paquette: It is, when she does it outside of a match and with the clear intent of destroying that arm, because she saw Rhea as a threat.

Taz: Allow me to interrupt here for a moment, because this match isn't Tegan against Rhea. This is match is Tegan against Rhea.... AND Asuka. This is a triple threat match. And Asuka already has beaten Tegan Nox before, by cashing in her money in the bank briefcase. And while the whole world seems to be focusing on Rhea and Tegan... she can be the laughing third in the whole matter. Literally. As I am sure Joker, which is Asukas Alter-Ego, will have a big laugh when he is done playing with Rhea and Tegan, and all of a sudden has crowned Asuka as the UPW Womens Champion once again.

Renee Paquette: That could happen indeed, Taz. This is a triple threat match. this is a no holds barred match for only two of the competitors. This is an insanely hard to predict match, as there are so many elements to this. The stipulation. the injured arm. Three women who for the most part seemed to have been equally successfull. All three of them are either current or former womens champions. You really don't know what possibly could happen in that match, and who is going to walk away with the championship belt.

Taz: And when that is done... when the ring has cleared... when the dust has settled. Another man will make his entrance. one of the most spectacular entrances wrestling has ever seen. The Phenom. The Dadman.....The Undertaker! And he will come down the aisle to once again put on the line his Intercontinental Championship. But the man he is facing will put something on the line that may even be more important than that.... his SOUL! Thats the Stipulation the Undertaker has chosen. He wants Jay White to put his soul on the line, in exchange, for the deadman putting the IC title on the line.

Der Trailer und die Grafik für das IC-Title Match folgen.

12.Match: UPW Intercontinental Championship
The Undertaker (c) vs Jay White

Renee Paquette: The year is 2026 and we are seeing the Undertaker in a wrestling ring, and he still appears to be at the peak of his powers, carrying the IC Title with great proud. And even trying to bring justice to the UPW. Which is why he collided with Jay White to begin with, which led to this match.

Nigel McGuinness: And that right there, Renee... thats the problem. The Undertaker now things he can decide whats good and whats "evil". He thinks he can just walk around and tell people what to do. Now don't get me wrong. The Undertaker is a legend. Maybe even THE Legend of wrestling. When you think about great personalitys in wrestling... you think of the undertaker. And in that ring he really is one of a kind. But what he isn't, is the moral police. He can't just stand or sit somewhere and look down on Jay White and judge him for what he may or may not have done. He's not a judge. He's not a jury. He's not god. He's just a man that is a damn good pro wrestler. Stick to that, and none of these problems ever would have happened.

Renee Paquette: But don't you think some of the things Jay White has done in the last couple of months really did go to far? Just think about the things he has said about Randy Ortons family. Or even DONE to them. All of that was despicable. And I think it just shows that the Undertaker is more than what he appears. He is a man who really cares about this business. And the people in it. He realized that Jay White was going too far. And so he took matters into his own hands. I think that really shows character.

Nigel McGuinness: I think it only shows that his ego is getting way out of hand.

Taz: It certainly is debateable if what the Undertaker did in regards to Jay White was justified. But what isn't debateable is that this match is going to be an absolute Slobber Knocker as my old friend Jim Ross would say. I never thought we would see the day in which The Undertaker and Switchblade Jay White will be in the same ring. But on Sunday, at Summerslam, that will be the case. And I can't wait to see it.

Nigel McGuinness: That I can agree with. I never doubted the Undertakers abilitys in the ring. And I know he will do everything to defend that championship, that he himself put into jeopardy because of his actions.

Taz: And of course Jay White will do the same too, as I believe the stakes are even higher for him. I don't know what all this "soul" business actually means. Some say its about Jay White never being able to challenge for a title her ein the UPW ever again. But I am not so sure about that. But whatever it is, it can't be good to lose your "soul" to the Undertaker.

Renee Paquette: Oh for sure. As much as I love and respect the Undertaker. I would not like to see him in control over my "soul". Who knows what he might do with it?

Taz: Maybe he would turn your soul evil? Can you imagine that? An evil Renee Paquette. But I digress.

Nigel McGuinness: Yes you are, Taz. And at such an important time, because we're now getting to the last match on the card, aren't we? Our Main event. The fight of all fights. The biggest match of the summer. Two best men in wrestling fighting for the biggest prize of our sport. Scurll vs. Rhodes.... 3!

Dann gibt es den Trailer für den Main Event.

Mainer: Legend Steel Cage UPW World Heavyweight Championship - Villain Inc banned
Marty Scurll (c) vs Cody Rhodes

Taz: Oh hell yeah. What a match. For the third time the UPW World Heavyweight Champion will step into the Ring with Cody Rhodes. But this time... this is a different Rhodes. This is a rhodes that is not afraid to get a little dirty to get what he wants. This is a Cody Rhodes that wants to win this championship at all cost. And after his last two controversial losses, he really needs to make it happen this time. And he does have a lot of things going for him. Like this new aggressive personality that hes bringing for Summerslam. A personality that is actually somewhat starting to resemble Marty Scurlls own, don't you think?

Nigel McGuinness: It does. But let me tell you something about that. Cody seems to operate by the following motto now. If you can't beat them, join them. Or in his case maybe even try to become them. And thats what he is trying to do right now. He is trying to become like Marty Scurll in order to beat Marty Scurll. But thats the error already. Even if he becomes like Marty Scurll... he's never going to be able to beat the original that way. The original is always going to be miles better than some cheap ripoff.

Renee Paquette: I don't think he's actually trying to become Marty Scurll.. or like Marty Scurrl. I think what we're seeing is a Cody Rhodes that is getting desperate and frustrated, and that is slowly leading him to do some of the things that the man he just cannot beat seems to be doing. He was trying to be the good guy. He was trying to be the hero that saves the UPW from Martys evil grasp. But slowly he realizes that maybe he just isn't that man. He's not a shining night in armour that has come to save the UPW. He's just one of the best wrestlers on this planet. And as such maybe he just needs to get his hands a little dirty too.

Nigel McGuinness: A little dirty? He took out Max Caster AND Brian Cage. He's unhinged. He's causing chaos. But unlike Marty Scurll he's not able to control that chaos. Because thats what Marty is a master at. Thats why he has been holding on to that championship since last years survivor series. He creates chaos and then he uses his to his own advantage. And inside of that blue steel cage... the legendary steel cage that Cody Rhodes wanted for this match... there is going to be chaos. And Marty is going to play that chaos like a fiddle. he is going to make it sing in just the way he wants it to sing and he is going to turn Cody Rhodes into his own worst enemy again. You just watch and see.

Taz: That chaos has already been somewhat controlled however, as Villain Inc will be banned from ringside. And because of Nick Aldis, even Eric Bischoff somehow making his way into that cage, who has helped Marty Scurll, in order to prevent Cody from becoming the World Champion, seems more than unlikely. That, plus the fact that this is an absolute must win match for Cody makes me thing that he is going to finally bring hom the gold to his family. He's worked incredibly hard for this. And he does deserve this. And the fans UPW finally want to see it happen.

Nigel McGuinness: If they want to see it happen, they can just play UPW2k, set the difficulty to the lowest setting and then they can use Cody Rhodes to beat Marty Scurll. Btu here in the real world, Marty Scurll is going to do again, what he has already done twice before. And that is going to beat Cody Rhodes. They say "heros never die". But thats not true. And Cody Rhodes isn't even a hero. Marty on the other hand.... he is THE Villain. And Villains really never do die, as the world always is going to need someone to be the Villain.

Renee Paquette: Lets hope not. Lets hope Cody Rhodes finally does it and lets hope we do get the happy ending to Summerslam that we all deserve. In my eyes at least. But with that being said, we've come to the end here. We've looked at all the great things that have been announced for summerslam. But I am sure there will be plenty more things to come, and many many surprises that are going to happen. Afterall... Summerslam is the biggest part yof the summer and EVERYONE wants to be a part of it. Thank you for tuning in, UPW-Univers. And see you on Sunday for.... UPW SUMMERSLAM! I also want to thank my guests at this time. Nigel McGuiness and Taz. Thank you for being here tonight, guys.

Nigel McGuinness: Thanks for having us Renee. And I hope you all are going to enjoy Summerslam. Watch it live on the UPW Network. Order now. I know I will.

Taz: Enjoy Sommerslam and take care, guys.

Renee Paquette: Good Night, everyone!

Nigel McGuinness: Good night!

Taz: Good night, good fight and all that! See you!
