#3 Triple H's segment

The Game 'Triple H' will be facing The Undertaker one last time

WWE COO Triple H made a rare appearance to a great pop from the crowd. The King of Kings spoke about how happy he was after an amazing NXT Takeover event on Saturday followed by SummerSlam on Sunday.

He stated that he enjoyed both the events and started promoting his match against The Undertaker at the WWE Super Show-Down at Melbourne, Australia on October 6, 2018. He also mentioned how initially he was reluctant to face The Undertaker but then decided that The Game would be back to face The Phenom for one last time on October 6,2018.

The crowd chanted ' You Still Got It' after his announcement. Triple H is one of the biggest legends of the business and his promo was on a different level. Also, seeing Triple H in the WWE ring is always a treat to watch because of his aura. It would be interesting to see if The Undertaker would also be a part of the future RAW episode to create more hype for their match.

#2 Finn Balor is back in the Title picture

Finn Balor got his Universal Championship rematch after 2 years

The show started with Roman Reigns announcing his first title defense later that night, against Finn Balor. Finn Balor defeated Baron Corbin at SummerSlam in a squash match. Finn Balor's alter ego 'The Demon King' showed up and decimated Baron Corbin in no time.

Finn Balor had won the inaugural WWE Universal Championship by defeating Seth Rollins at SummerSlam 2016. Unfortunately, he had to relinquish the title the next day due to a legitimate injury he suffered in his match at SummerSlam. He never got a rematch after his comeback.

The interesting thing is that Balor got his rematch at the same venue where he had won the Championship which is Brooklyn, New York. The match was a classic between Finn Balor and Roman Reigns with great moments.

In the end, it was Reigns who retained his title. Finn Balor deserves to be in the main event matches on RAW. There is a possibility that Balor would get a future opportunity to decide the next number one contender for the Universal Championship.

#1 The Shield Reunion

YES! YES! YES!

Nobody saw this coming. It is still difficult to come to terms with the fact that 'The Hounds of Justice' reunited to save Roman Reigns and his WWE Universal Championship from Braun Strowman.

Braun Strowman made his way to the ring when Reigns was about to spear Balor. Reigns got distracted but somehow managed to defeat Balor and retain his title.

Roman Reigns was in no condition to face Strowman after a grueling match with Balor. Strowman cashed in his Money in the Bank contract and before the referee could signal the match to start, Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose entered the ring surrounding Strowman.

It was a surreal moment. The 'Holy S**t' chants from the crowd were deafening. The Shield gave a Triple Powerbomb to Strowman through the announcer's table and stood tall as the show came to an end.

The WWE Universe could not have asked for a better ending. It would be interesting to see how this shapes up the next week of RAW.
