4 reasons why SummerSlam was the best WWE pay-per-view of 2018 so far

#1 Great booking throughout the card

The nightmare is finally over.

Overall, SummerSlam was filled with some great action in places, satisfying conclusions in places and good storytelling in places. It was a strong night for WWE for all sorts of viewers, just like how a WrestleMania should be.

The mainstream viewers were treated to a dominant victory for Ronda Rousey, the casual fans enjoyed the coronation of Roman Reigns and the smarter fans got a night filled with great matches and moments, from Seth Rollins winning the Intercontinental Championship, to the hard-hitting WWE title match, to the excellent bout between Daniel Bryan and The Miz.

On the Smackdown side of things, we got the first instalment in multiple feuds as while the finishes to the matches were not as exciting, they all made sense to the story. The New Day will get another shot at the Bludgeon Brothers, while Styles and Joe will have another brutal bout.

Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair are set to have a barnburner of a feud in the women's division, while The Miz vs Daniel Bryan is far from over. Except for Nakamura beating Jeff Hardy, every SummerSlam match for the blue brand was a continuation in the various stories on show for us, as Smackdown will continue to wow us on a weekly basis.

Raw, on the other hand, focused on ending ongoing rivalries. For all the rematches on the show, we did get a host of satisfying finishes. The babyface came out on top in every match from the Raw brand and that too in convincing fashion. While there will be rematches for certain titles, we are going to get fresh storylines on the flagship show of WWE.

Hopefully, these new storylines do make the show better and more watchable. From the Demon beating Baron Corbin, to Ronda Rousey tearing Alexa Bliss apart, to Roman Reigns finally conquering Brock Lesnar, SummerSlam did a great job in providing good conclusions to current feuds.

The main reason why SummerSlam was the best main roster show of 2018 is that pretty much every outcome on the show was logical, pretty shocking for WWE. Along with that, we got a fun night which was filled with great action and fulfilling moments. This, WWE, is the right way to book a four-hour show.
