And NEW! Four New Champions Crowned At WWE Summerslam

It was that kind of a show. There are all kinds of titles under the WWE banner and it can be a big deal when one of them changes hands. Having a new champion crowned means not only the start of a new reign but also the end of another. That can be quite the moment and we saw several such moments on Sunday, as multiple new champions were crowned on one night.

Four title changes took place over the weekend at Summerslam. First up, Bron Breakker defeated Sami Zayn to win the Intercontinental Title in a rematch from last month’s Money In The Bank when Zayn retained. Next, LA Knight defeated Logan Paul to win the US Title for his first title in WWE. Third, Nia Jax defeated Bayley to win the WWE Women’s Title in a title shot she earned by winning Queen Of The Ring. Finally, Gunther defeated Damian Priest to become World Heavyweight Champion when Finn Balor turned on Priest. Liv Morgan and Cody Rhodes retained their titles.

I’d call that a busy night. Check out the title matches:

Opinion: That’s how you make a show feel important as there is little that matters more than a bunch of title changes. It makes the show more memorable as it symbolizes a new era for the champions while also giving the former champions something fresh. Summerslam was certainly a packed show and that is good for everyone involved, as it made things that much more interesting.
