SummerSlam is WWE's second-biggest pay-per-view of the year after WrestleMania. The match card for this pay-per-view was full with great matches. Every major championship was going to be defended on this show.
Many good and bad things happened during the show but overall it was a great show. SummerSlam was a very long show and many things happened during the entire show but we will focus only on the best things in this article.
After 8 years of long wait, we finally got to see Daniel Bryan vs The Miz at the "Biggest Party of the Summer". But this was not the only best thing happened on that night.
Follow Sportskeeda for the latest WWE news, rumors and all other wrestling news.
Today, in this article, we are going to take a look at 6 best things that happened at the SummerSlam.
#6 Ronda Rousey's win
Rousey's best friend Natalya also returned last night to stand on the ringside for Ronda Rousey. But no one came to stand on the ringside for the Bliss.
When the match started Alexa Bliss started to play mind games with the "Baddest Women On The Planet" and she did this many times.
After playing mind games for some time, Bliss tried to give a cheap shot to Rousey but she countered the move with a punch.
At one point, Bliss even tried to escape from her by leaving the ring but she came back because Rousey gave her a chance to attack her from behind but this did not help the champion either.
After taking some beating at the hands of former UFC Champion, Bliss tapped out to the armbar and lost her Championship.
After the match ended, Natalya and the Bella twins came to congratulate the new Raw women's champion. This was a good decision by the WWE to make Rousey the champion as they needed someone to headline all women's pay-per-view "Evolution" and Ronda is best one to choose from.
#5 Daniel Bryan vs The Miz
Many years ago, during his NXT time, The Miz was a mentor for Daniel Bryan but things became very bad between these two wrestlers and this is why we got to see a match between Bryan and The Miz.
There were many rumors that this feud will not end in SummerSlam and the WWE will stretch it till WrestleMania 35 where both wrestlers will fight for the WWE Championship.
This feud became very personal between these two wrestlers when during an episode of Talking Smack, Bryan said that The Miz is a coward and he does not like his way of wrestling. In return, The Miz also cut the best promo of PG era but that time Bryan was not medically cleared to wrestle so this match took two more years to happen.
This year, when WWE doctors cleared Bryan to wrestle then finally WWE booked Bryan vs Miz for the SummerSlam. This match delivered what the fans wanted and in the last, Bryan loses to The Miz.
Now we can expect a WrestleMania 35 rematch between these two superstars.
#4 Return of "The Demon"
No one thought that Finn Balor's "Demon King" avatar is going to make his return. But this is WWE and they always shock the fans with surprises and the same happened in SummerSlam too when Finn Balor came as "The Demon" during his match against Constable Baron Corbin.
The Demon quickly defeated Corbin in a squash match and while it may not be a good match of that night but, we finally got to see the return of "Demon King".
In the future, we can expect more matches from the WWE where Finn Balor will come with his different avatar.
#3 Rollins vs Ziggler
SummerSlam kicked off with Rollins vs Ziggler where Ambrose and McIntyre were also present on the ringside.
We saw many near falls during the match and at some points, McIntyre tried to interfere during the match. He also attacked Dean Ambrose causing the distraction to Rollins and Ziggler took advantage of it but he failed to pin Rollins.
When the match was about to end McIntyre again tried to interfere but this time Ambrose stopped him by giving a Dirty Deeds. Ziggler was waiting for Rollins to turn around so that he could end this match but Rollins noticed it gave a kick to Ziggler and regained his Intercontinental Championship.
This match was pretty good but the only thing that wasn't good was the crowd that was very quiet during the match.
#2 AJ Styles vs Samoa Joe
This feud became very personal between these two wrestlers when Samoa Joe brings Styles' family in between their rivalry and with great promos, both wrestlers did their best to hype this match.
At SummerSlam, we saw a very personal and physical assault between these two powerhouses.
During the match, Samoa Joe looked strong and at one point he even disrespected Styles' family who was present on the first row.
After listening to this AJ was not able to control his anger and he attacked Joe with a steel chair and the match ended with Disqualification.
After this incident, their feud has become more personal and it is safe to say that this will become one of the best rivalries of 2018.
#1 Universal Championship match
A huge majority of wrestling fans wanted to see AJ Styles vs Samoa Joe as the main event of the SummerSlam because they thought that Lesnar vs Reigns is going to boring but the opposite happened.
Before the bell rang, Strowman came and said that the winner of this match is going "Get These Hands" tonight.
We saw a match between these two wrestlers and during the match, Lesnar even attacked Strowman with the chair and also thrown his MITB briefcase on the ramp.
The match ended when Roman gave a spear to Lesnar and finally, he won the Universal Championship and the show went off-air.
Due to Lesnar's attack on Strowman, he was not able to cash in his MITB contract. But still, it was really one of the best matches of that night.
