5 Surprising Moments From Summerslam 2018

#1 Roman Reigns Wins Quickly and Braun Doesn’t Cash In

Braun waits his turn.

What was the point of Braun Strowman being a part of the main event? I am pretty sure Strowman was a part of the Universal Championship match just for a really simple reason: they didn’t want the crowd to boo the main event out of the building. I guess on that level it worked pretty well.

The title match was surprising as well. It was surprising that it really wasn’t much of a match at all. I have seen these two at least wrestle for a while so to see a six-minute match with barely any action was surprising, to say the least.

Brock spent a majority of the brief match beating up Braun Strowman outside the ring. It was your usual “not paying attention to the guy in the ring” maneuver as Roman hit the Spear for the quick win. After 504 days as champion, it was a weird and anti-climatic ending to Brock Lesnar’s Universal Title reign. And then Braun didn’t cash in. The WWE sure knows how to leave an audience unhappy in 2018 doesn’t it?
