Top 6 moments from WWE SummerSlam 2019
SummerSlam 2019 was eventful. It had some questionable booking decisions but was entertaining throughout. From Erik Rowan's brutal attack on Buddy Murphy to Edge's rare spear on Elias, the show maintained a solid tempo.
Surprisingly, Trish Stratus and Charlotte arguably delivered the 'match of the night.' The Disarmer proved to be too much for the Queen of Harts. Styles triumphed over Ricochet yet again, Bayley and Owens won emphatically. Also, Rollins burned it down.
But which of these moments were the best? Let's have a look at the top 6 moments from WWE SummerSlam 2019.
#6 "Thank you, Trish!"
Even Charlotte Flair has nothing but respect for Trish Stratus.
Trish Stratus returned to fight her first singles match in years. The Queen of Queens had her work cut out against the Queen of WWE, Charlotte Flair. She didn't disappoint.
The match had its moments. The crowd singing the Canadian national anthem was a classic on its own. Trish applying the Figure-8 had the crowd applauding. Everything she did was received well by her hometown fans.
However, the best moments came after the match. After Charlotte had left the ring to Stratus, the legend reciprocated the respect of the fans. She did her trademark signature, before bowing down to leave the building.
This brought back memories of her original retirement match against Lita. She had won the Women's Championship then - she is happy winning hearts now.
#5 The Rated R Superstar returns home
While we were anticipating the return of Ronda Rousey or Sasha Banks, it was the Rated R Superstar who returned home. Edge returned to interrupt WWE's singer cum guitarist, Elias.
As the heel was on his barrage of words against the town, the Metalingus hit, and out came Canada's own WWE Hall of Famer. The segment wasn't long, and the action was limited to Edge hitting Elias with a spear. But it didn't need to be anything more.
As for Elias, he has lost his momentum recently. But he, like the Miz, wouldn't take a lot of time to get it back. He only needs the creative team to come up with something of substance for him.
