Cesaro and Sheamus Vs Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins (Raw tag team Championship)

This match turned out to be show-stealer. After earlier dominance by the tag champs, Ambrose came back with a huge Lunatic Lariot. Rollins backed him up by neutralizing Cesaro on the outside.

Finn Balor Vs Bray Wyatt

To the delight of the WWE Universe, The Demon King returned at Summerslam creating a bone-chilling affair. Wyatt tried hard to play mind games and connected with a modified rock bottom for a near fall. But, Balor came back with two sling blades to successfully connect with the Coup De Grace for the win.

Big Show Vs Big Cass (Enzo Amore locked inside shark cage)

Enzo Amore tried to help Big Show by escaping the cage and jumping off that! But, it did not give any upper-hand as he was leveled with a big boot by Cass. Aftermath, Cass delivered two big boots to the world's largest athlete and followed it with the Empire Elbow to pick up the victory.

John Cena Vs Baron Corbin

The crowd chanted "Where's your briefcase?" at Corbin during the match to distract him. He tried to come back into the contest with a Deep-six but failed. John Cena rolled with his five-knuckle shuffle move and followed it with an AA to get an easy and his first ever singles win at Summerslam.

Randy Orton Vs Rusev

Rusev attacked Orton from behind while he was making his entrance. The referee kept on checking Orton following the assault and called for the bell. But, Orton hit Rusev with a RKO out of nowhere to pick up the win in a second to get the pinfall!

Alexa Bliss Vs Sasha Banks (Raw Women's Championship)
