Excitement is at its peak among the WWE Universe as the go-home episode for SummerSlam was the final stop to see some epic matches.

Apart from this, the company also announced that Renee Young is going to join the commentary team for this episode of Raw as a replacement for Jonathan Coachman.

WWE is doing every possible thing for the women's revolution and this was a great move by them. She will also do the commentary for the only women's pay-per-view "Evolution".

This is not the only best thing that happened on this episode of Monday Night Raw, there are many other things too.

Today in this article, we will take a look at 3 best things that happened on the go-home episode for SummerSlam - 13 August 2018.


#3 The final build-up for the SummerSlam matches

This was a go-home episode for Monday Night Raw so WWE did their best to build up the feud as much as possible. At the beginning of the show, we saw a match between Alexa Bliss and Ember Moon where Rousey was present on the ringside for Ember Moon and Fox on the other side for Bliss.

There were many moments when they were both involved in the match. Constable Baron Corbin also provided her all the protection she needed and even though the match ended in a DQ, WWE still did the build-up for the match.

Later, we also saw a tag team match between Braun Strowman and Finn Balor vs Kevin Owens and Jinder Mahal. Unlike last week, this match ended when Strowman pinned Jinder Mahal, but the only thing that remained same was Kevin Owens, who was running away from Strowman. At last, Corbin gave End Of Days to Balor (when he was celebrating the victory) making him the dark horse of their upcoming match.

Overall, WWE did a great job of building-up of the matches for SummerSlam.

#2 Brock Lesnar

After two weeks of drama, the whole WWE Universe came to know that this all was just a ruse planned by Heyman and Lesnar.

In this go-home episode of Raw, Paul Heyman came out to the ring where he talks about how Roman can make history this week. He also offers him the chance to become his new client, but Reigns wasn't interested in this.

He also said he would help Reigns to win at the SummerSlam by giving him the secrets of Lesnar. Heyman confirmed that Reigns will win his upcoming match if he agrees with him.

Then Paul brought up a story and said something in the Samoan language, reminding Roman his father's words and asked him to answer until SummerSlam. This was all normal but all of a sudden Heyman surprises Reigns with a pepper spray.

In the end, Lesnar came out to the ring to attack Roman Reigns.

#1 The return of Dean Ambrose

The former Intercontinental Champion Seth Rollins came very late to the show, but when he came the whole universe was shocked because the Lunatic Fringe also returned with him.

When the show was about to end, Kurt Angle came to the ring to announce that Roman Reigns is now medically cleared to face Brock and he is not going to suspend 'The Beast' because he wants him to lose the Championship.

Dolph and Drew interrupted and asked him to cancel the match. Angle called out Rollins two times, but no one shows up.

But the WWE Universe wanted to see him and when Ziggler signed the contract, Rollins finally came and said that he waited to come only because he was afraid that Ziggler might refuse to sign the contract after hearing what he will say.

Then, Rollins announced that Dean Ambrose will be at the ringside with him at the SummerSlam. And finally, Ambrose returned to the ring (with a new hairstyle) almost after 9 months of long absence. This was definitely a show stealer moment for the WWE Universe.
