WWE SummerSlam 2019: Every Match Ranked From Worst To Best

8. Finn Bálor Vs. "The Fiend" Bray Wyatt

Result: Wyatt incapacitates Bálor with the Mandible Claw to score the easy pin (3:25).

Rating: Nobody would call this a good match, but it was exactly what it needed to be: Finn gets two months off to recharge, and Wyatt's new character gets one hell of an epic introduction.

The entrance, complete with a severed Bray head lantern, was the real story of the match, and Finn did a great job selling how intimidating The Fiend was.

It of course remains to be seen if WWE books Bray smartly and actually runs with this, but it made one hell of a memorable first impression, and there's clearly a ton of potential here. 5/10
