WWE SummerSlam Kickoff Show Results:
1. Cruiserweight Championship Match: Drew Gulak (c) defeated Oney Lorcan. Gulak hit a cheap shot to Lorcan’s throat, then hit the Cyclone Crash to retain the championship.
– Drake Maverick interrupted the kickoff show panel looking for R-Truth. Truth and Carmella were hiding in front of the desk. Maverick threw popcorn at them and chased them away.
2. Buddy Murphy defeated Apollo Crews by disqualification when Rowan attacked Murphy for ratting him out to Roman Reigns on Smackdown. Rowan beat Murphy down and powerbombed him into the ring post.
– Elias played a song about how much he hates Toronto. He was interrupted by WWE Hall of Famer Edge, who speared him.

WWE SummerSlam 2019 Results:
1. Submission Match for the Raw Women’s Championship: Becky Lynch (c) defeated Natalya. Lynch won the match by submission, of course, with the Disarmer.
2. Goldberg defeated Dolph Ziggler. Ziggler hit two superkicks, but Goldberg countered a third with a spear and a Jackhammer to win the match. Ziggler continued challenging Goldberg to get back into the ring, and kept getting speared. You can watch the highlights here.
3. United States Championship Match: AJ Styles (c) defeated Ricochet. Styles countered a Phoenix Splash into the Styles Clash (like in his New Japan classic with Kota Ibushi) to win the match. Afterward, Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson hit Ricochet with the Magic Killer.
– Ric Flair danced around backstage with the Street Profits.
4. Smackdown Women’s Championship Match: Bayley (c) defeated Ember Moon. Bayley retained the championship with a Bayley-to-Belly suplex from the top rope.
5. Kevin Owens defeated Shane McMahon. Owens’ WWE career was on the line in the match. McMahon made Elias a special enforcer, and Elias interfered throughout the match. The referee was bumped, so Owens attacked Elias with a chair. He teased hitting McMahon with a chair, but the original referee recovered. As the ref was removing the chair, Owens kicked McMahon in the groin, then hit a Stunner to win the match.
6. Charlotte Flair defeated Trish Stratus by submission with the Figure Eight. After the match, the crowd gave Stratus a standing ovation and she took a bow. Watch that here.
7. Kofi Kingston vs. Randy Orton ended in a double count-out. Orton hit an RKO on Kingston, who rolled out of the ring. Orton followed him out and taunted Kingston’s family. Kofi came alive and attacked Orton with a kendo stick, but the referee counted them both out and rang the bell. The crowd chanted, “bullshit.”
8. ‘The Fiend’ Bray Wyatt defeated Finn Bálor. Wyatt has an incredible new entrance, which you can watch here. He was able to counter Coup de Grace with a Mandible Claw to win the match.
9. Universal Championship Match: Seth Rollins defeated Brock Lesnar (c). Rollins countered an F-5, hit a superkick, and connected with The Stomp — the third of the match — to win the match and the Universal Championship.
