WWE SummerSlam 2017 live results: Winners and highlights

SummerSlam 2017 features a staggering 13 matches, on a show went over four hours long with a two-hour pre-show. That’s a lot of wrestling to sit through, and there were certainly some low moments, but the good stuff was really dang good.
The main event was a phenomenal slobber-knocker, easily the best match of the night and probably one of the best Fatal Four-Way matches WWE has ever done. Brock Lesnar, Braun Strowman, Samoa Joe, and Roman Reigns all brought their A-game and delivered something special.
The rest of the show was fairly uneven, with a couple of excellent tag team matches and a real stinker between Big Cass and Big Show. There were also a ton of title changes, some more questionable than others. But ultimately, there was more good than bad and the bad stuff didn’t linger long enough to really drag down the show.
Here’s my match-by-match recap and reactions as the show went along.

Brock Lesner (c) def. Roman Reigns, Braun Strowman, and Samoa Joe to retain WWE Universal Championship

The best match. THE BEST MATCH. This is exactly the orgy of violence we were all hoping for.
All four guys immediately started slugging it out, with Lesnar suplexing Joe right off the bat. He went at with Strowman, who clotheslined Lesnar out of the ring. Joe put Lesnar in a Coquina Clutch and Reigns speared both men through the barricade.
It was beautiful carnage on the outside as Strowman powerslammed Lesnar through a table. Joe dove onto Reigns and Strowman nailed both guys with an office chair. Strowman hit Lesnar with another powerslam through an announce table, and then flipped a third desk onto him.
Officials and medical personnel tended to Lesnar, who got stretchered away. Strowman, of course, wasn’t finished. He grabbed some stairs and beat up Joe and Reigns with the stairs, dragging Roman into the ring. Reigns grabbed some steps of his own and nailed Strowman with them before Joe rolled him up for a two-count.

Aly Raisman Says USA Gymnastics Needs Change Amid ‘Horrible’ Sex Abuse Scandal

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Aly Raisman is ready to talk about “the elephant in the room.” And the six-time Olympic medal-winning gymnast thinks it’s time USA Gymnastics joins in a conversation she feels is long overdue. The 23-year-old is calling for sweeping change in the organization in the wake of dozens of allegations of sexual abuse by former national team doctor Larry Nassar, a scandal that has left one of the U.S. Olympic movement’s marquee programs scrambling and Raisman shaken. Nassar spent nearly 30 years as an osteopath with the USA Gymnastics program and is now in prison in Michigan after pleading guilty to possession of child pornography. He is awaiting trial on separate criminal sexual conduct charges, in addition to being sued by more than 125 women who claim he sexually assaulted them under the guise of treatment. Nassar has pleaded not guilty to the assault charges, and the dozens of civil suits filed in Michigan are currently in mediation . Raisman, w

Xbox One X Project Scorpio Edition Pre-Orders Are Nearly Sold Out

If you want to get your hands on an Xbox One X, you'll probably have another chance before the fall. If you want to order an Xbox One X "Project Scorpio Edition," however, you'll likely have to act fast. The Project Scorpio Edition is a special collector's edition that harkens back to the console's longtime code name and comes with a slightly different texture and an exclusive vertical stand. Amazon sold out of its initial allocation pretty quickly, and other retailers have been following suit ever since pre-orders went live yesterday afternoon. Right now, I'm still seeing them at Target  and Best Buy ,  so move quick. We'll update if they turn up elsewhere. An important note that may not have been entirely clear to the casual observer: if you are ordering an Xbox One X right now, you are ordering the Xbox One X Project Scorpio Edition, even if the art or text on some retail websites doesn't reflect that. That's according to Micro
