WWE SummerSlam: Brock Lesnar, Jinder Mahal retain titles
In an absolute brutality on offer, Brock Lesnar successfully defended his WWE Universal Championship title at WWE SummerSlam in a fatal four way match against Roman Reigns, Braun Strowman and Samoa Joe. There was plenty riding on the match - the title and Lesnar's career in the WWE. A defeat and he had promised to exit the WWE in anger over the mistreatment. Luckily for him, his manager Paul Heyman, and legion of fans, that wasn't to be the case in the end in New York. But it wasn't a comfortable win - not by any shadow of imagination. (Source: WWE)

With Shane McMahon as special guest referee, the contest between AJ Styles and Kevin Owens was always going to get an added layer of controversy and that proved to be the case.

With that, AJ Styles defended his United States Championship title. (Source: WWE)
