5 surprising moments from WWE SummerSlam 2019

#4 WWE Championship Match Ends In A Count-out

Kofi Kingston might regret that jump over the top rope in just a few seconds

I believe most WWE fans want to see clean ending to their title matches. Especially with a WWE Championship match, it makes logical sense to have a clear finish for the WWE SummerSlam show. That is clearly not what we got on Sunday in Toronto.

The story going into the match was Kofi Kingston needed to prove himself against Randy Orton. Orton was the man who had held Kofi Kingston down all those years ago. For Kofi Kingston to win clean would be a real validation that all his critics were clearly wrong. Naturally, it ended in a boring count-out instead.

That match itself was pretty unspectacular. Randy Orton works a pretty slow pace and it seemed to take the crowd out of the lengthy match. When Orton hit the RKO it seemed to signal an abrupt ending. But then Kofi rolled out of the ring and Randy Orton proceeded to get in a lengthy argument with Kofi’s son. He got distracted and got counted out. In the words of Randy Orton, that was “Stupid!”
