SummerSlam 2022 | Review-ish | One Of The Greatest SummerSlams Of All Time

Well, well, well, that was a party of the summer to remember, am I right? there is so much talk about so let's not waste any more time. 

Bianca Belair successfully defended the RAW Women's Championship against Becky Lynch. both had great technical skills and strength throughout, the crowd absolutely loved what was an outstanding match, the EST hit the Spsnish Fly into the KOD for the 1,2,3 (hey that rhymes)

Afterwards, Becky showed true class by congratulating Bianca and while the Champion was celebrating, Bayley's music hit, she walked towards the ring, followed by Dakota Kai and Io Shirai. Unbelievable scenes, the three confronted Bianca who was then joined by Becky. Io, Dakota and Bayley then left the ring. What a start to the Premium Live Event.

Respect to Logan Paul for putting on a great performance in his match against the Miz, the key moments of this match were him hitting a frog splash from the top rope to the announce table on Miz, the celebrity also hit Miz's own move on him, the Skull Crushing Finale, to pick up the win, it is worth noting AJ Styles ran in midway through this match to remove Ciampa from ringside, this could be a possible set up for a match on RAW.

The next match of the night was for the United States Championship, Theory attacked Bobby Lashley with the Money In The Bank case before the bell rang to try and get an advantage, however, his efforts were thwarted as Bobby fought back and applied the HurtLock, resulting in Theory tapping out quickly, something I and many others thought that would happen.

Would this be the last time we would see Theory here at SummerSlam? 

Edge returned with a Brood type entrance to help Rey and Dominik Mysterio defeat The Judgement Day's Damian Priest and Finn Balor, this is revenge for the Rated R Superstar since he was removed from the group all those weeks ago.

Happy Corbin was making his way to the ring until he was interrupted by a choir singing Pat McAfee's theme song, the Friday Night SmackDown commentator went on to pick up the win.

Drew McIntyre made an appearance to talk about his future title match at Clash at the Castle.

The Usos and Street Profits continued from where they left off from Money In The Bank, Jimmy and Jey hit the 1-D on Angelo Dawkins to remain Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champions. What does the future hold for the Street Profits? We shall see.

Riddle ran out to the ring and called out Seth Rollins, who answered the challenge, the two brawled until Rollins hit Riddles neck with the Stomp in the middle of the ring. This was a very impromptu segment.

The SmackDown Women's Championship Match between Liv Morgan and Ronda Rousey ended in somewhat controversial fashion after Liv appeared to tap while she was put in a armbar, however, the referee missed it and counted to three, Liv is still the Champion.

Ronda took out her anger on Liv and the referee, these actions will probably result in Ronda getting a rematch or suspended as part of the storyline.

Kane announced the crowd attendance total.

It was now time for the main event, a Last Man Standing Match for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship  Brock drove a tractor (yes you read that correctly) while Roman was waiting in the ring, Brock even stood on the tractor and introduced himself, they then fought all over the stadium,  Lesnar put Reigns in the front loader of the tractor and dumped him in the ring, which was very creative.

Speaking of creative, Brock drove the tractor into the ring, the impact threw Roman out of the ring, Jimmy and Jey tried to help their cousin until Brock took them out, he also hit Paul Heyman with an F5 through the announce table, Reigns speared Brock and then Theory ran out with an attempt to cash in, Brock hit the F5 on Theory to stop proceedings, this was pure carnage.   

Brock continued to beat the ten count until The Usos and Reigns buried Brock with parts of the announce table, ring steps and more to ensure the ten count was unanswered, Roman Reigns is still the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion. 

What a main event that was, what an event this was, be sure to check back here for more content, until next time, thanks for reading.
