The biggest winners and losers from SummerSlam 2018

Winner: Samoa Joe

Samoa Joe proved himself more than ever in what was easily the best match of the night. With AJ Styles' family at ringside, Joe used their proximity to try to gain a psychological edge. Ring wise, it was Joe's best main roster showing to date.

He proved himself beyond a shadow of a doubt to be WWE Championship material last night.

This could have been even more than it was, were it not for the infuriating DQ finish, following on the heels of yet another DQ finish in the SmackDown tag team match beforehand.

It all reeks of WWE trying to give the feud legs without changing the title, which would be a major mistake. A Samoa Joe championship reign is what SmackDown needs right now.
