Best and worst of WWE SummerSlam 2017

#2 Worst: Rusev crushed

WWE does not see Rusev in the same light that we do!

We understand why Randy Orton had to win this match, after suffering a string of losses to put Jinder Mahal over. Did he have to defeat Rusev in well under a minute, in what was, in many ways, even worse than a squash match though? Yes, it got the message across that an RKO can strike out of nowhere, but also did nothing to elevate Rusev. This could have been a stage for Rusev to display his dominance and put on a long and compelling match with Orton.

It's a BULGARIAN AMBUSH on @RandyOrton before the bell can even ring by @RusevBUL! #SummerSlam pic.twitter.com/Yk5iKlkBCr

Was the show booked in such a packed and stacked manner because it would have gone into overtime, had this not been the case? For now, we can only guess.
