Tonight was the Biggest Party of the Summer with a lot on the line with such high stakes, the WWE Universe can't help but be all excited for the following match card:

The House of Bliss (Alexa Bliss, Roxanne Perez, Tiffany Stratton and Thea Hail) vs. Damage CTRL (Kairi Sane, Dakota Kai, Iyo Sky and Bayley) - Eight woman tag team match

Jey Uso and LA Knight vs. The Bloodline (Jimmy Uso and Solo Sikoa) - Tag team match

Roman Reigns (c) (with Paul Heyman) vs. Drew McIntyre - Singles match for the WWE Universal Championship

Randy Orton (c) (with Cody Rhodes) vs. "Aswang" Alex Auditore - Singles match for the WWE Championship

Tonight also marks the one year since the passing of the late Bray Wyatt, so to pay tribute to the Eater of Worlds, Alex's attire top was adorned with Wyatt's moth logo pinned in the center of the blood red Philippine sun.

SummerSlam opened with the war between the House of Bliss and Damage CTRL as the Role Model Bayley led Iyo, Kairi and Dakota to the ring as the nefarious group set themselves up for a fight. Then the Goddess Alexa Bliss led her "wrestling daughters" and ordered Tiffany, Roxanne and Thea to surround the rings Shield style. Damage CTRL covered their flanks as the House of Bliss got on the apron; Alexa nodded and a brawl ensued as the eight women traded punches while the referee tries to get things under control; the bell rang as the two women left in the ring were Roxanne and Dakota, a rematch from SmackDown.

House of Bliss vs. Damage CTRL

Roxanne and Dakota picked up were they left off from SmackDown as the Prodigy looks to get some revenge of the cheap victory thanks to Iyo Sky's interference. Roxanne landed forearm shots to faze Kai, making her stumble to her corner. The Prodigy proceeded to point and taunt at the Joshi Judas, saying she wants her for a fight. Iyo smirked and taunted, but obliged as she tagged herself in and stepped up to the Prodigy while the WWE Universe witnessed a dream match between two of the biggest female wrestlers in the independent scenes as they see Rok-C vs. Io Shirai.

Roxanne and Iyo went for the Kevin Owens-Sami Zayn style punches as they tried to one up each other and see who gets the advantage; Rox got the better of the melee as she landed a spin kick to Iyo's gut; she then went for an early Pop Rox, but Iyo countered with a backflip, showcasing her agility. 

(Fast forward)

As the House of Bliss and Damage CTRL brawled once again at ringside, Iyo and Tiffany stared at each other as they got to the top turnbuckles and flattened everyone else with their own respective moonsaults. Tiffany and Bayley were the legal women for their team as they got back in the ring while Stratton escapes an attempted Roseplant from Bayley and drops the Role Model with a DDT; then she went for a submission hold, which was a modified version of Austin Aries' Last Chancery submission; however, unbeknownst to Stratton, a blind tag was made from Kairi and while the Center of the Universe got Bayley trapped in her submission, the Pirate Princess got to the top and nails the Insane Elbow on Tiffany; as she went for the pinfall, it was broken up by the energetic Thea Hail. Thea landed shots on Damage CTRL, knocking them down to the floor; she then got up and took them all out with a cross body.

Back in the ring, Kairi pushed Tiffany to the corner where Roxanne made a blind tag. The Pirate Princess took down Stratton with the spinning back fist, not knowing Perez was lying and waiting; as Tiffany rolled out, Roxanne capitalized with Pop Rox, then tagged in Alexa to finish off Damage CTRL with Twisted Bliss for the pinfall victory.
