10 match WWE SummerSlam 2018 review

The lo
The long-awaited crowning?

The bad

#3 The New Day vs The Bludgeon Brothers

Unlike the WWE Title match, the DQ finish was very bad in the SmackDown tag team title match.

The match was beginning to pick up steam when the finish happened. The match The New Day had with The Bar was much better than this match. The rematch will most likely happen during Hell in a Cell.


#4 Becky Lynch vs Carmella vs Charlotte

We had a heel turn in the form of Becky Lynch attacking Charlotte after the latter won the SmackDown Women's Championship in an okay triple threat match. The WWE may have miscalculated the individual popularities of Becky and Charlotte.

Fans were ready for Becky to finally win the title again, but WWE had Charlotte win the title for the seventh time. At this rate, I wouldn't be surprised if it is Charlotte and not Cena who breaks Ric Flair's record. Fans booed Charlotte at the end of the match. Does this make her the female Roman Reigns?!


#5 The Miz vs Daniel Bryan

A diss
A disappointing match

The bout everyone was looking forward to, The Miz vs Daniel Bryan. This was the best built-up match in the card. It ended up being a very disappointing affair. The moment they showed Maryse in the crowd, you knew she would figure in the end, and predictably that was what happened.

As amazing a chemistry these two have on the mic together, I just don't think they share the same in their in-ring work. Again, expect this feud to continue till Hell in a Cell.

#6 Shinsuke Nakamura vs Jeff Hardy

Shinsuke Nakamura and Jeff Hardy had a sub-par match that was a filler at best for the US Title.

How weird was it to see Randy Orton come out after the match and then walk out immediately afterwards? I guess WWE did not want to leave him out of SummerSlam, hence the appearance.
