Match 5 – WWE Intercontinental Championship – Gunther defeated Drew McIntyre to retain
Next on Summerslam was the IC title match was booked for 14 minutes and it was one of the best matches of the night if not the best. Both wrestlers were on top of their game and this match would definitely go down as a 5 Star match. This might have been the most well utilised 14 minutes of the show. We would be really surprised if this match does not go on to become a 5 star match.
WWE Summerslam 2023 Results Part 3, Gunther Vs. McIntyre, Rollins Vs. Balor, Surprising Twist
The best part of the match, much like most of the big matches of Gunther, was the near falls, which made the match even more special and somewhat unpredictable. There were high risk spots that actually made the fans believe that the Ring General would finally drop the Intercontinental Championship. But that did not happen.
There was only one issue with this match, it was quite predictable. Everybody knows that Gunther never drop the title in this situation, at least not before Breaking the record of Honky Tonk Man, which he definitely deserves. Gunther pinned McIntyre with the Powerbomb. We wonder where would McIntyre go after this defeat.
Match 6 – World Heavyweight Championship – Seth Rollins defeated Finn Balor to retain
Finn Balor Lost Another Opportunity To Win World Heavyweight Championship
This match was booked for around 19 minutes and it was also one of the best matches of the night. This is a huge lift after the disappointment from WWE Money in the Bank and this match would definitely go down as one of the best matches that SummerSlam ever witnessed. What an amazing match it was!
Today these two athletes proved what they are capable of and why they are the best professional wrestlers in the world today. There were near falls after near falls, which made the match totally unpredictable. At a point no one could predict what is going to happen ultimately. Finally these two athletes provided a 5 Star quality match.
The Judgement Day got involved in this match at the end and they kept on trying to assist Finn Balor to earn the victory from this mega match. But Seth Rollins even kicked out of the Coup De Grace, Finn Balor also kicked out of The Stomp previously. At the end of the match, Priest threw his briefcase inside the ring and started distracting the referee.
As soon as Finn went on to grab the briefcase, Seth hit The Stomp on top of the briefcase and pinned him. Once again, the angle remained that Priest cost Finn the opportunity to win the title. But this time the angle was trillion times better booked than the previous one. We still believe Finn Balor needed to win the title tonight.
