SummerSlam 2019 made history for a number of different reasons, but the biggest was perhaps the fact that for the first time WWE presented four women's matches on the same card.

There were also a number of WWE Hall of Famers included in the show like Goldberg who was able to send a message to Dolph Ziggler with an incredible three spears.

Edge made a shock return to WWE when Elias decided to insult the crowd in Toronto, Canada where he delivered a fantastic spear to spark rumors that he could be looking for a WWE return for the upcoming Saudi Arabia show in November.

Trish Stratus was also part of the show in her hometown and she was able to put on a fantastic match against Charlotte Flair as the two women battled it out to prove who was the real Queen in WWE.

The crowd chanted "this is awesome" throughout as Stratus proved that she still had it despite not stepping in the ring for a one-on-one match for a number of years.

Whilst it was an incredible night of entertainment from the Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, Canada, there were still a number of botches that many eagle-eyed fans spotted as part of the show.


#3 Trish Stratus basically pinned herself

Trish Stratus showed that she still had it throughout her final match against Charlotte Flair, but in the end, she tapped to the Figure Eight to allow Flair to call herself The Queen of all Eras in WWE.

Stratus didn't miss a beat throughout the match and tried to bring her hometown crowd to their feet when she locked in the Figure Four on Flair and then looked to bridge into the Figure Eight.

The issue was that Stratus took so long to bridge that her shoulders were actually flat on the mat for a few minutes whilst the referee was busy asking Charlotte if she tapped.

#2 Bayley vs Ember Moon

Bayley defended her SmackDown Women's Championship against Ember Moon for the first time tonight at SummerSlam and The War Goddess definitely brought her A-game, but it still wasn't enough to walk out Champion.

Bayley was able to pick up the win after she hit the Bayley-to-Belly from the top rope, but there were a number of other talking points throughout the match.

At one point Bayley locked in a modified crab and was unable to hold onto Moon's legs to make the submission look effective and then at the end of the match as Moon was about to deliver a top rope move, Bayley made her way to the top to deliver the Bayley-to-Belly. But The Hugger managed to slip on the rope on her way up.

Her footing just looked as though it got away from her but she quickly reclimbed the ropes and was able to shake off whatever it was that stopped her in her tracks.

Luckily, Bayley was able to recover on both occasions and continue the match where she was able to walk out victorious, but these were still botches that someone of Bayley's experience shouldn't be part of at this point in her career.

#1 AJ Styles missed The Phenomenal Forearm

One of the most anticipated showdowns on the card for this year's SummerSlam saw AJ Styles defend his United States Championship against Ricochet with Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson watching on from ringside.

Styles and Ricochet put on a fantastic show with the former NXT star wearing Nightwing gear to give him an extra boost. Sadly this wasn't enough to give him the edge against Styles, who came into the match with a number of advantages.

Styles did slip up once though since the United States Champion was looking to deliver a Phenomenal Forearm to Ricochet but he lost his footing as he jumped over the top rope and Ricochet was then forced to catch him to avoid further damage.

It was a match that had everything that was expected and ended when Ricochet delivered a Phoenix Splash onto the shoulders of AJ Styles, only for the Champion to reverse it into the Styles Clash to retain his Championship. Despite the fact that it was one of the matches of the night, the botch will probably be one of the most memorable moments.
