The Universal Championship match between Braun Strowman and The Fiend at SummerSlam was made to look more brutal when The Monster Among Men used a craft knife to cut through the ring canvas and expose the wood underneath the ring.
This was then what The Fiend used to his advantage when he hit Sister Abigail off the wooden boards in order to win back his Championship at SummerSlam.
The issue here is that many fans spotted that Strowman actually took Sister Abigail onto the foam that was still covering the top of the boards, so the Universal Champion was pinned off a "normal" Sister Abigail. The Fiend hit his finisher and Strowman's head can clearly be seen bumping off the foam which is still covering the ring.
It's unclear if the men were in the wrong position when delivering the move or if that piece of foam shouldn't have still been there, but Strowman went through a lengthy process to make sure that wood was exposed and then it wasn't actually used.
