3 unnoticed similarities between WWE SummerSlam 2018 and 2019

#1 The ending of the WWE Championship match

What was the point of this ending?

WWE considers the WWE Championship as its most prestigious championship but, if we have a look at the way the company has booked the title at the Biggest Party of the Summer, one cannot simply hail it as the topmost title.

At SummerSlam 2018, the then champion AJ Styles put his title on the line against Samoa Joe. The fans expected both the Superstars to bring their game and put on a match for the ages. Styles and Joe gave it all they had before the Samoan Submission Machine grabbed the microphone to taunt Styles' wife, who was in attendance. The Phenomenal One snapped and beat the heck out of Samoa Joe as the match ended in a disqualification.

The WWE Championship match at SummerSlam 2019 was pretty much the same with Kofi Kingston and Randy Orton taking up the roles of AJ Styles and Samoa Joe, respectively. The heel Orton taunted Kingston's family at ringside as the babyface lost his cool to commence a brawl.

The fans disliked the ending to the 2018 WWE Championship match hence, it was surprising to see WWE take the same route once again this year.
