The Biggest Party of the Summer is finally upon us and with all the attention on The Barclay's Center in Brooklyn, New York, there were a number of WWE stars who felt the pressure.

Takeover: Brooklyn set the tone for the weekend last night in this same arena and the main roster was well aware that they needed to step up their game if they had any hopes of shining in New York.

The seven-hour show was stacked with some of the biggest wrestling stars in the world, but the pressure of a night that arguably changed the course of wrestling history was too much for some and the cracks in the foundations be. Here are some of the biggest botches that the WWE Universe might have missed at SummerSlam.


#4 Lana strikes again

Lana and Rusev teamed up against Andrade "Cien" Almas and Zelina Vega on the SummerSlam kickoff show, but it was team Rusev Day who came up short after Lana was pinned by Vega with help from the ropes.

Lana has been seen as one of the weak links in the Women's Division over the past few months and once again she showed why as part of this match when she was unable to make the ending of the match look as effective as she should since her schoolboy roll-up was slowed down and then she didn't even try to fight out of the pin either which meant that the ending of the match fell flat.

#3 Cedric Alexander can't hold on to Drew Gulak

Cedric Alexander defended his Cruiserweight Championship against Drew Gulak as part of the SummerSlam kickoff show, and even though Cedric was able to successfully retain his title, there was a moment in the match that many fans probably picked up on which saw Cedric accidentally let go of Gulak in the middle of a move.

Alexander has proved time and time again that he usually pulls it out when it comes to the biggest matches of his career but this time around Alexander was let down by one moment when he and Gulak evidently had a moment to forget. The duo quickly managed to recover but didn't hide it very well as you can see from the video below.

#2 Charlotte's terrible moonsault

Carmella defended her SmackDown Women's Championship against Charlotte and Becky Lynch at SummerSlam and even though Charlotte walked out with the Women's title for a record seventh time Becky Lynch decided that she had had enough of her best friend after she was the one who took the pin.

Lynch slapped her best friend across the face before fully attacking her and cementing her heel turn, but when the match was still underway, Charlotte delivered her Moonsault to both Carmella and Becky on the outside and completely missed Lynch, but The Irish Lasskicker still sold the move.

#1 Brock Lesnar is beaten by his own chair

Brock Lesnar lost his Universal Championship to Roman Reigns at SummerSlam but even though the end spot of the match was a spear to a distracted Lesnar, the former Champion actually took a chair to the face.

It could be argued that because Lesnar went for the chair shot and missed and it then rebound off the ropes and hit him in the face, it could be seen as a disqualification. Roman was instead able to get the pin off the spear, but the former Champion will definitely have a headache in the morning after that spot.
