Roman Reigns defeated Jey Uso in a ‘Tribal’ match for the WWE Undisputed Universal Championship: The unexpected happened in the stellar combat. It was a long, very long duel that concentrated everything at the end. Reigns and Jey put up a great match, but it was worth anything and surprises were expected. Only Sikoa showed up to help Roman. Sikoa obeyed all of his cousin’s orders, but by mistake Reigns made a spear for her. The tension returned. The situation was complicated for the champion… but at that moment the surprise occurred. Jimmy Uso appeared out of nowhere to attack Jey and leave the Tribal Chief an easy victory. Roman Reigns did not understand anything, like none… he will have to explain himself next Friday on SmackDown.

Iyo Sky won the WWE Women’s Championship against Bianca Belair: Once the bell rang, Iyo Sky sprang into action alongside Bayley. The Californian took care of Flair and Asuka. He went for Belair, who tried to pull himself together. Sky attacked her, cashed her Money in the Bank briefcase and with a jump from the third rope achieved victory.

Bianca Belair won a triple threat match against Asuka and Charlotte Flair for the WWE Women’s Championship: A lawsuit with this stipulation is always utter madness. Anything could have happened, but the ending was bizarre. Bianca Belair left the ring helped by doctors due to a knee injury. She came back as Charlotte Flair was about to make Asuka submit with a ‘Figure 8’. She avoided him. After several fights, Flair closed another ‘Figure 8’ to Belair. Everything seemed ready, but that’s where Asuka emerged. She sprayed her poison mist on Charlotte. She went to her for Bianca, but she was quick and rolled her up while she was pinned by Flair. So, in that weird way, she won the title.

Seth Rollins mantuvo el World Heavyweight Championship al derrotar a Finn Balor: What was a clean fight in which Balor got Rollins in trouble turned into a dirty fight in which the cheater got hurt. Judgment Day came out to help Finn, who ordered Priest to leave him his briefcase and distract the referee. Rollins seemed KO, but the time of the talk between the two took advantage of it to recover. With a Stomp on the Money in the Bank Briefcase Seth Rollins knocked out Finn Balor and thus remains champion.

Gunther retains the Intercontinental Championship against Drew McIntyre: Nothing seems to be able to stop Gunther. The Intercontinental champion continues to devour rivals. McIntyre returned and looked like a tough opponent. He showed it in the fight and it was, but the champion managed to beat him. He can with all the factors and winning cleanly, which leaves a complex continuity to this rivalry.

Shayna Baszler defeated Ronda Rousey in a match with MMA rules: ‘Rare’ experiment in terms of combat stipulations. Both have been MMA fighters, they did one more combat of that more dynamic discipline, but it left the public cold. As for history, hit on Baszler’s table. They had never submitted Ronda (neither in MMA nor WWE) and she managed to put her to sleep with a mataleón. Complex situation for the former champion, who could be saying goodbye to wrestling tonight, at least for a while.

LA Knight took the 25-fighter Slim Jim Battle Royal: When this stipulation is given there is always fun and chaos. In SummerSlam it was no less. Omos was one of the protagonists. He came in last, introduced by MVP, and knocked out a lot of wrestlers. Due to his size, he could be a favourite, but this time the victory went to the ‘chosen’. LA Knight is increasingly loved by the public. A sports push was missing and that seems to have started in Detroit.

Cody Rhodes beat Brock Lesnar: The rivalry between these two men reached all the way to Detroit. The trilogy gave us a very tough and very intense combat. Cody knew how to put into play a different strategy than usual, but effective against a rival like Lesnar. He tried to finish Brock with the submission with which he is wreaking havoc in WWE. He couldn’t, but after applying his finishers three times, Rhodes achieved the victory. When finished, Lesnar hugged his rival and raised his hand as a sign of respect.

Logan Paul defeated Ricochet: The opening match of a PLE at this level has to be of good quality. There was no doubt in Ricochet and every time Logan Paul steps into the ring he makes it clear that he can be trusted. Again the influencer looked great. He is a part-time fighter like any other. The two wrestlers left movements in the retina of all the fans, they had their opportunities… and the story remained open. Logan Paul was given a brass knuckle when the referee wasn’t looking. He used that weapon to knock out Ricochet and win. There was triumph, but unfair and illegal. He will play tiebreaker. This story cannot stay like this.

At the age of 13 he already had a microphone in his hands and at 15 he narrated the matches of his beloved Ponferradina on local radio. He studied journalism at the Complutense University of Madrid and his arrival in the capital made him realize that he should tell stories about contact sports, his great passion, and not about soccer. In 2016 he started working at Diario AS and opened a gap in national journalism writing about boxing, MMA and wrestling. He is a boxing narrator on DAZN and with his label ‘KO a la Carrera’ he analyzes his sports news every week on his podcast. …
