The Original Tribal Chief is back and better than ever.

It was the worst kept secret in wrestling, but seeing Roman Reigns return at SummerSlam to shoot down wannabe Bloodline boss Solo Sikoa and then stare down Cody Rhodes was an incredible scene. Roman's comeback will live long in the memory, but that wasn't the only killer moment WWE's latest PLE had to give.

Triple H booked no less than four title changes on the same card. On top of that, the writers scripted a full-on Judgment Day implosion and kept excitement high for more violence to come between rivals like CM Punk, Drew McIntyre and Seth Rollins. That trio even found time to reference SummerSlam 1997!

Admittedly, the show did feel long, but that had more to do with epic video packages and lengthy entrance routines than anything else. In-ring, SummerSlam smashed it for the most part; there were only a few drab bits here or there. One segment defo could've been cut and nobody would've missed it.

Here's all the good and bad from a show well worth watching.
