  • Third El Grande Americano Debuts On Raw

    It\’s raining El Grande Americano on Raw.

    After Chad Gable suffered a shoulder injury in June, Ludwig Kaiser took over the character. He has even made appearances in Mexico for WWE as El Grande.

    A new twist came to this story at last week\’s episode of the Monday Night show, however, when a second El Grande Americano appeared to help Judgment Day in their tag title match against LWO.

    This week\’s episode of the Red Branded show then featured a singles match between Dominik Mysterio and Dragon Lee. This came after Mysterio successfully defended his IC title over AJ Styles at SummerSlam.

    A Third El Grande Americano?

    Lee had the control of the match towards the ending, and he delivered a double stomp to Dominik. Before he could capitalize, the two El Grande Americanos appeared to distract the Luchador.

    As Dragon Lee cleared the house of the two masked attackers, a third El Grande Americano appeared outta nowhere and delivered a cheap shot to the Mexican star before hiding from the referee\’s view.

    This allowed Dirty Dom to hit a Lateral Press, and he then pinned Lee using the ropes for advantage. Though AJ Styles came out to make the save for the LWO member before Mysterio could hurt him any more.

    It\’s unknown what the game plan is for the Masked character, but the appearance of these new figures has definitely got the fans intrigued.

  • R-Truth Reveals How Triple H Reacted To Him Cutting His Hair

    R-Truth has revealed some behind-the-scene details of his WWE return promo.

    The Attitude Era star made his WWE return at the Money In The Bank PPV in June, only days after being released by the company. He did a promo on the following Raw, cutting his hair in front of the fans and adapting a more serious persona.

    The former NWA World Champion talked about this promo during a recent interview with Ringer Wrestling. He revealed that only Triple H knew about the segment, and even he only found out about it on the day of the show:

    \”Nobody knew about it except, I asked Triple H that day. He did a double take, ‘What did you say?’ It’s business. That was my trademark. Life is all about, we live, we learn, we evolve and adapt. ‘That’s your trademark. Why do you want to do it?’ I said, ‘It’s time.’\”

    It Had To Be Done: R-Truth

    R-Truth mentioned that he didn\’t like the way his hair looked during his interview with Chris Van Vliet a couple months earlier. That\’s when he first realized that he had to change his look:

    “It had to be done to prepare me for where I want to be at mentally, physically, spiritually, emotionally. It was time. I was going bald anyway [Laughs]. I was going bald. Now, we’re going to flip it, this is Ron Killings. R-Truth has been nice to y’all.\”

    The 53-year-old attacked John Cena after his return and the two had a rematch which ended in DQ. R-Truth started a feud with Aleister Black after this and he has also wrestled Dominik Mysterio on live events.

  • Brock Lesnar Return Was Cleared By WWE Legal Weeks Ago (Report)

    WWE maintained Brock Lesnar as one of their highest-paid performers throughout his recent absence while facing legal issues, according to Wrestling Observer Newsletter\’s Dave Meltzer.

    The Beast Incarnate was never suspended and remained under full contract during the period when he was absent from WWE programming. Meltzer\’s report reveals that Lesnar continued receiving his substantial compensation despite not appearing on television.

    \”Brock Lesnar was still, even though not used, fully paid during that time period (of his absence) and was among the highest paid wrestlers in the company,\” Meltzer reported in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter. \”He was never suspended, and obviously kept under contract. If what he did was going to end their relationship with him, he\’d have been let go. That\’s the reality.\”

    The report suggests WWE\’s financial commitment to Lesnar indicated their confidence in his eventual return. Rather than cutting ties or suspending the former UFC Heavyweight Champion, the company maintained his lucrative deal while legal matters were resolved.

    According to Meltzer, Lesnar received legal clearance approximately one month before his return, though this information was kept confidential. \”He was always going to return when legal cleared him. Legal cleared him about one month prior to the show, which was kept secret, and allowed for the return.\”

    The revelation provides insight into WWE\’s handling of talent during legal controversies. By maintaining Lesnar\’s contract and compensation, the company demonstrated their belief that the situation would be resolved favorably.

    Lesnar\’s absence from WWE programming had sparked speculation about his future with the company. However, Meltzer\’s report indicates WWE never considered the situation career-ending, maintaining their investment in one of their most prominent stars throughout the legal process.

  • Dominik Mysterio Reacts To AJ Styles\’ Eddie Guerrero Tribute At SummerSlam

    Dominik Mysterio wasn\’t fazed by AJ Styles\’ attempt at mind games.

    The Judgment Day member defended his IC title against the Phenomenal One at night 2 of SummerSlam. Both contestants paid tribute to the classic 2005 ladder match between Rey Mysterio and Eddie Guerrero by wearing their respective colors.

    The IC Champion was asked about AJ wearing the colors of his role model while appearing on the SummerSlam post-show. Dominik claimed that stuff like this does not affect him at all:

    “You know, I know he was trying to play mind games with me because of my alleged father. But what he doesn’t know is that stuff like that doesn’t get to me. I’m Dirty Dom, I’ve been playing here… I’m as homegrown as it gets.”

    AJ Styles finally got to challenge Dominik Mysterio for the IC title at SummerSlam, after the later avoided the bout for weeks due to a rib injury. Mysterio tried to use Eddie Guerrero\’s chair trick to get AJ disqualified but Styles saved himself by pretending to be hit as well.

    The former WWE champion then grabbed Dirty Dom\’s leg for the Calf Killer submission but the IC Champ slipped out of his boot. AJ ended up accidentally hitting the referee and Dom used the spare boot to finally get the upper hand on his opponent and retain the title.

  • Watch: Becky Lynch Debuts New Theme At SummerSlam

    Becky Lynch has a new theme.

    The Women\’s IC Champion had teased a collaboration with the band The Wonder Years ahead of her scheduled title defence at SummerSlam PPV.

    The tease proved to be about a new WWE theme as The Man debuted her new entrance music during night two of the latest WWE PLE:

    Becky Lynch had been using the \’Celtic Invasion\’ theme by former WWE music producers CFO$ for the last 10 years. With this new theme, she has managed to avoid a theme by Def Rebel, who took over the WWE music production in 2019.

    The IC Champion defended her title against Lyra Valkyria in a No DQ match at the show. The defending champion used every weapon she could think of on her opponent, but Valkyria showed great courage and survived all the punishment.

    Bayley showed up at the ringside towards the end to stop Becky from using a crowbar on her opponent. Unfortunately for Lyra, Bayley ended up hitting her accidentally while trying to hit Becky. It allowed the Man to retain the title.

    As per the match stipulation, Lyra Valkyria now cannot challenge for the IC title again as long as Lynch is the champion. It\’s possible we\’ll see her feuding with Bayley in coming times.

  • Watch: Fight Breaks Out In Crowd During SummerSlam

    The SummerSlam PPV featured an unexpected fight, though not between wrestlers.

    The company presented the first ever two-night SummerSlam event from MetLife Stadium this week, with both the nights ending on completely unexpected notes.

    One of the most surprising moments of weekend however, was completely unplanned. The moment came during Solo Sikoa\’s entrance on night two, when a fight broke out between two women in the crowd:

    Solo Sikoa defended his United States Championship against former teammate Jacob Fatu in a steel cage match at the show. The trio of JC Mateo, Talla Tonga, and Tonga Loa showed up towards the ending of the bout to help Solo.

    Jimmy Uso then came out to even the odds but his support proved to be inadequate. Solo Sikoa retained the title by escaping the cage in the end, after Talla Tonga smashed the cage door into Fatu\’s face.

    Jimmy Uso attacked Mateo after the match and threw him into the steel cage. Jimmy put Loa with him and Jacob Fatu ended the segment with a Moonsault off the cage on his opponents.

    Apart from this, the show also featured the surprise return of Brock Lesnar who attacked John Cena after the main event. You can check out some backstage details of how WWE pulled this off here.

  • Backstage News On Brock Lesnar\’s Surprise SummerSlam Return

    WWE went to great length to keep Brock Lesnar\’s WWE return a surprise.

    The Beast Incarnate showed up after the SummerSlam Sunday main event between John Cena and Cody Rhodes. The American Nightmare had left the ring after winning back the WWE title but Cena was still around. Brock ended up taking John out with an F5 to end the show.

    Top WWE officials had kept the plans for the main event and the post-match angle close to their chest. Not many people were aware of Brock\’s return and due to Cena and Cody\’s history, some wondered if The Rock was going to make an appearance.

    Fightful Select revealed that the former UFC Champion was flown into Minnesota on Saturday and then brought to the Teterboro airport via a private plane.

    He was kept hidden throughout the day of his appearance and the former world champion was only seen backstage at about 9:15 PM ET when the main event was already underway. Some staff members then made their way to the stage mid-way through the main event to start filming things.

    It\’s unknown if the company\’s legal department got any kind of \’clearing of wrongdoing,\’ before the officials brought him back. Brock Lesnar has been named in the ongoing Janel Grant Lawsuit against Vince McMahon, though he is not one of the parties being sued.

    Many media persons had travelled to the city expecting to take part in the post-SummerSlam press conference before it was cancelled last minute. While not officially announced, the expected backlash over Lesnar\’s return is largely believed to be the reason behind this move.

    It\’s not surprising that Brock is planned for a program with Cena in the coming month after his return, though it\’s unknown if he\’ll be sticking around the company afterward.

  • Triple H Says Current Champion Is One of The \’Most Improved\’ Star On The Roster

    Triple H has big praise for a current champion.

    The Game took part in the SummerSlam post show after night 2 of the event from MetLife Stadium. During the talk, he was asked about Naomi\’s performance while defending her women\’s title at the event.

    The WWE Chief Content Officer mentioned how the Women\’s World Champion has been part of the roster for a long time. The last few months however, she has shown a completely new side of her:

    \”Naomi — to me, she might be one of those people where, even though she’s been here for a long time? All of a sudden, [she’s] most improved? You know, where she has just come out of her shell

    And for whatever reason — I don’t know if the stuff with Jade (Cargill), that whole situation. But something motivated her to take it to another level and she is. And what a moment tonight with her dad.”

    Naomi defended her championship against Rhea Ripley and IYO SKY in the opening match of SummerSlam Sunday. The ending of the bout saw Ripley hitting an Avalanche Riptide on SKY. As the Mami went for the pin however, the defending champion swooped in with a rolling pin and retained her title.

    Apart from this, Triple H also talked about Brock Lesnar\’s return to WWE after the SummerSlam main event. He suggested that a top name was the reason behind it. You can check out what he said here.

  • Cody Rhodes Reacts To Emotional SummerSlam Entrance With Dusty Rhodes Tribute

    Cody Rhodes has commented on his SummerSlam entrance.

    The American Nightmare has always been vocal about his love and respect for his dad and late wrestling legend Dusty Rhodes. This emotion was on display once again during his SummerSlam entrance, which featured a special Dusty tribute in the form of one of his classic promos.

    During the SummerSlam post-show, Cody Rhodes talked about this. The new Undisputed Champion revealed that it was his idea but he gave credit to the WWE team for the execution:

     “You’ve got a really wonderful — Brian in the truck and you have Triple H. I had an idea of maybe some words that could describe the journey of a champion. The words of somebody describing the chase. The words they used — the words they used were his words.\”

    I Can Feel Him With Me: Cody Rhodes

    Cody Rhodes claimed that the words used for his entrance is his favorite Dusty Rhodes quote, and it made him feel like the wrestling legend was with him for his big win over John Cena at the show:

    \”And ‘The view never changes’ is my favorite thing he ever said because it’s so accurate. And no matter what you do here, it’s so hard to climb and to put that view in a different perspective, and to try and lead the way he suggested.

    I can’t have him here with me, but in a moment like that I can feel him with me. And that’s a blessing, I’m lucky to have that. It\’s like he came down to the ring with me in a way.\”

  • Incredible To Have Him Back: Triple H Reacts To Brock Lesnar\’s SummerSlam Return

    Triple H is happy with how Brock Lesnar\’s WWE return played out.

    The Beast Incarnate made his surprise return to the promotion during the closing moments of SummerSlam. He attacked John Cena after his return, setting up a future match between the two.

    The Game talked about Brock\’s comeback while appearing on the SummerSlam post-show. He mentioned the crowd reaction to Lesnar\’s appearance and said that it\’s incredible to have him back:

    “My reaction was exactly what I thought it was going to be, which is if there was a roof on this place it wouldn’t be there anymore. The dynamic in the room changes when The Beast is here.

    Seeing Brock Lesnar come back, anything you thought was happening goes out the window because the factor of Brock now just changes that dynamic. It makes it so unpredictable. So yeah, incredible, just incredible to have him back.”

    Elsewhere in the interview, Triple H also suggested that John Cena was responsible for Brock Lesnar\’s WWE return, saying that everything that\’s happened this year is according to Cena\’s retirement wishlist.

    While the WWE Executive seem happy about the turn of events, fans online have been vocal in their criticism of this move. You can check out some reactions to Brock\’s return here.

  • Karrion Kross Reacts To Triple H Downplaying His Popularity

    Karrion Kross is not holding back anymore.

    The fans have been demanding a more prominent spot for the former NXT Champion for months, but the company has continued to mostly ignore his popularity.

    This partiality was on display once again when Triple H appeared on the SummerSlam post-show. The fans were chanting for Kross, but the WWE Chief Content Officer played it off as the chants for the returning Brock Lesnar.

    The former NXT star reacted to Triple H\’s actions on Twitter. He replied to the video of the incident writing that fans are the one who write the truth:

    \”Unreal. They write the scripts… But the fans write the truth. Thank you, Tick tock.\”

    Karrion Kross went up against Sami Zayn during SummerSlam night 1 on Saturday. The former TNA star, however, ended up losing the bout. This decision was criticized by many, including former WWE star Matt Morgan.

    It\’s believed that the 40-year-old\’s contract with the company is set to expire sometimes this month and he could become a free agent if he chooses.

    With Kross losing the SummerSlam match and now targeting Triple H, it seems more likely that he will be leaving the promotion instead of sticking around with a new deal.

  • Triple H Suggests John Cena Requested Brock Lesnar\’s WWE Return

    Triple H has suggested that John Cena is responsible for Brock Lesnar\’s WWE return.

    The Beast Incarnate made his surprise return during the closing moments of the 2025 SummerSlam PPV. Lesnar attacked John Cena after the main event, setting up a potential future match with him.

    The Game talked about the turn of events during his appearance on the PLE post show. Triple H claimed that everything that\’s happening is part of John Cena\’s retirement tour wishlist:

    “This is John Cena’s wishlist. John Cena’s… it’s him writing the last chapter of his book, and I think people saw a conversation with us where he said we’d have to screw it up pretty badly to ruin his career. But it’s not about that for me. It’s about John being able to go out the way he wants to go out. To write his chapter.\”

    What Do You Want: Triple H

    While Triple H did not directly name Brock, he insinuated that John Cena requested the former UFC star as an opponent in his final run:

    \”I know what that’s like as a performer. I know what that’s like for everybody to feel that, and I think for John to be able to do what he wants to do. One of the very first things I said to him is ‘Who do you want? And how?’ And we’re working through that.”

    Brock Lesnar was taken off TV in early 2024 after being named in the Janel Grant Sexual Trafficking lawsuit against Vince McMahon. Fans have been vocal about their displeasure of the company bringing the former champion back while the lawsuit is still active. You can check out some reactions to his return here.

  • Watch: What Happened With John Cena After SummerSlam Went Off Air

    # What Happened After SummerSlam: John Cena\’s Emotional Final Moment Cut Short by Brock Lesnar Attack

    **Exclusive footage reveals John Cena\’s touching post-match moment at SummerSlam 2025** was dramatically interrupted by Brock Lesnar\’s shocking return to WWE.

    After losing the Undisputed WWE Championship to Cody Rhodes in a grueling Street Fight, the 48-year-old Cena remained in the ring at MetLife Stadium as the broadcast concluded. What followed was an emotional scene that showcased why Cena remains one of wrestling\’s most beloved figures.

    **Cena took his time soaking in the moment** with the 60,561 fans in attendance, clearly moved by what was his final SummerSlam performance. The 16-time world champion appeared to be saying goodbye to the venue and the fans who have supported him throughout his legendary career.

    The retiring superstar was visibly emotional as he walked around the ring, taking in the crowd\’s appreciation for his effort in the brutal championship match. **It was the kind of genuine moment that defines Cena\’s farewell tour** – authentic connection with the WWE Universe during his final year as an active performer.

    However, **the touching scene was shattered when Brock Lesnar\’s music hit unexpectedly**. The Beast Incarnate, making his first WWE appearance since SummerSlam 2023, immediately targeted the vulnerable Cena who was still recovering from the 40-minute war with Rhodes.

    Lesnar wasted no time delivering a devastating F-5 to the unsuspecting legend, leaving Cena laid out in the center of the ring as the show went off the air.

    The attack transforms what should have been a beautiful farewell moment into the setup for one final major feud in Cena\’s storied career.

  • Fans React To Brock Lesnar\’s WWE Return Amid Active Sexual Trafficking Lawsuit

    The WWE fans are unsure about Brock Lesnar\’s WWE return.

    The Beast Incarnate made his shocking return to the company to close out night 2 of the 2025 SummerSlam PPV. He came out after the main event match between John Cena and Cody Rhodes. The Cenation Leader dropped the Undisputed WWE title back to The American Nightmare.

    Cody had left the ring by the time Lesnar came around but Cena was still in the arena. The former UFC Champion ended up attacking the 17-time world champion and then stood tall to end the show.

    Fans React To Brock Lesnar\’s Return

    Brock Lesnar had not been seen on WWE programming since his loss to Cody Rhodes at the 2023 SummerSlam event. He was scheduled for the 2024 Royal Rumble PPV but the company nixed those plans after the former champion was named in the Janel Grant sexual trafficking lawsuit against Vince McMahon.

    It was alleged that McMahon offered Grant as a favor to the former MMA star in return of re-signing with the company, and Lesnar made demands to her during their phone conversation.

    WWE officials seem to be expecting the backlash over Brock\’s return as they cancelled the usual post-PLE press conference for the event and replaced it with a more controlled post show.

    Though fans have still been voicing their opinion about the whole thing on social media, questioning the company\’s decision. You can check out some of these reactions below:

  • Brock Lesnar Makes Shocking SummerSlam Return

    The Beast is Back!

    The main event of the 2025 SummerSlam PPV saw John Cena defending the Undisputed WWE Championship against Cody Rhodes in a street fight.

    Both opponents took each other through hell and hit their finishers multiple times, but failed to get the pin. In the end, Rhodes send Cena crashing through a table from the top rope with a Cody cutter. He then delivered a Cross-Rhodes to win the match and regain the title he lost at WrestleMania 41.

    Both WWE veterans showed respect to each other after the match, and the new champion left after shaking hands with John. The Cenation Leader then soaked in the crowd reaction for a while before trying to leave.

    Brock Lesnar Returns

    Just as Cena was getting ready to get out of the ring however, Brock Lesnar\’s music hit. The Beast came out in a new cowboy look to the surprise of everyone.

    Brock Lesnar circled the ring for a bit before losing his jacket and hat. John Cena got prepared for a fight but Lesnar took him down with a single F5 after entering the ring. The show ended with Brock standing tall.

    The former UFC champion was taken off TV after being named in the Janel Grant sexual trafficking lawsuit against Vince McMahon. His name has not been dropped from the suit as of this writing.

  • Karrion Kross SummerSlam Loss Criticised By Ex-WWE Star

    A former WWE star has criticised the company for its SummerSlam decisions.

    Night 1 of the latest WWE PLE featured many unexpected developments, including Seth Rollins\’ Money In the Bank cash-in. The one result that fans questioned the most, however, was Karrion Kross\’ loss to Sami Zayn.

    The former TNA star has seen a rise in popularity in recent times despite the company giving him limited TV time. Many believed that Kross deserved the victory in this rubber match between the two wrestling veterans.

    Retired wrestling personality Matt Morgan seems to agree with the sentiment of the fans. He sent out a tweet after the show, claiming that he doesn\’t understand the company\’s decision not to support a self-made man like Karrion Kross:

    \”I say this as a huge Sammy Fan. I don’t understand how #WWE continues to beat THE SELF MADE MAN, @realKILLERkross! You can hear it when the most beloved babyface in the company pinned him! The fans were not feeling it. No disrespect to Sammy.\”

    Morgan also called out the company on the decision of Tiffany Stratton retaining the Women\’s title over Jade Cargill. The former WWE star claimed that Stratton has done nothing to grow the title, and objected to the finish of the match.

    The ending of the Women\’s title match at SummerSlam saw Jade Cargill hitting her finisher, only for Stratton to use the ropes to break the pin. The defending champion then hit the PME to retain her title. 

  • Dustin Rhodes Set To Miss Major Time After AEW Angle

    Dustin Rhodes will be away for a while.

    The wrestling veteran defended his TNT Championship against Kyle Fletcher in a brutal match earlier this week. Not only did he drop the title, but Rhodes was seemingly written off TV with a post-match attack from Fletcher, which led to Dustin being stretchered out of the arena.

    The former Goldust then provided an update on his health on X, revealing that he\’ll be undergoing an \’invasive major surgery\’ and will be out for a while.

    Fightful Select has now revealed some more details on the situation. While Dustin Rhodes blamed the injury on Fletcher, the site revealed that the 56-year-old is actually headed for a double knee surgery.

    The major surgery means the now former TNT Champion will be out of action for a long time and he is not expected back until 2026 at the earliest. 

    This leaves the fate of the ROH Tag Team Titles currently held by Dustin and his partner, Sammy Guevara, up in the air. Guevara had tweeted about the end of his run with Rhodes, suggesting that their Sons of Texas tag team had come to an end.

    This likely means that the duo will be stripped of the title and new champions will be crowned by the company. An official announcement regarding the same however, has not been made so far.

  • Update On Future Cody Rhodes Project Affecting His WWE Plans

    Could Cody Rhodes\’ SummerSlam match be affected by his upcoming project?

    The American Nightmare is one of the wrestling names set for a role in the upcoming live-action Street Fighter movie, which will begin production later this year.

    With Rhodes scheduled to challenge John Cena for the Undisputed WWE Title at night 2 of SummerSlam, a lot of people wondered if the upcoming project would affect the outcome of this match.

    Fightful Select recently provided an update on the matter. They revealed the movie, also starring Roman Reigns and possibly Hirooki Goto, is set to film in September.

    Though the WWE quarterback is not expected to be on the set for an extended period of time, and sources within the company are optimistic that the filming would not interfere with storylines.

    This means the company officials can put the title back on Cody Rhodes at SummerSlam if they choose, without worrying about his upcoming project affecting the plans for the title.

    Whether or not it actually happens will only be revealed this Sunday night, as the officials are keeping the plans for the night 2 main event very quiet.

    You can check out what happened during the SummerSlam night 1 main event and how the wrestling world reacted to it here.

  • Backstage News On Seth Rollins SummerSlam Cash In

    Seth Rollins went to great lengths to cover his tracks.

    The Architect surprised everyone when he showed up after SummerSlam night 1 main event match between CM Punk and Gunther. The MITB holder had been selling a knee injury but he shed all signs of it and cashed in his contract on Punk to become the new World Champion.

    Fightful Select provided some backstage details on how the whole thing came together. According to them, the cash in had been the tentative idea since before Rollins\’ Saturday Night\’s Main Event match against LA Knight.

    Regarding the injury angle in the match against Knight, the site noted that the medics and producers backstage were treating the injury as real on the night. Even people close to Rollins were concerned about his health at the start.

    The opinion started changing when the former Shield member appeared on the Rich Eisen show only days later. Though nobody was specifically told that the injury was a work. Rollins went as far as to work the trainees at his wrestling school and the cash in had not been listed on the internal rundowns for tonight\’s PPV.

    Becky Lynch posted a video of herself reacting to Seth\’s win in the Gorilla position. WWE Unreal director Chris Weaver was also spotted in the video, suggesting that we might see an Unreal episode on Rollins\’ injury angle down the line. WWE Hall of Famer The Undertaker was in Gorilla for the segment as well, though it\’s unknown if he was involved in the planning of it in any way.

  • Charlotte Flair Reveals Where SummerSlam Win Ranks Among Her Career Achievements

    Charlotte Flair has commented on her SummerSlam win.

    The Queen teamed up with Alexa Bliss to challenge The Judgment Day for Women\’s Tag Team Championships at the PLE. This make-shift team which has become a fan favorite in recent times, ended up winning the titles.

    The duo appeared on the SummerSlam post-show to talk about their victory. Charlotte Flair mentioned how teaming with Bliss was not on her 2025 bingo card:

    “Honestly, the 10 years I’ve been here, tonight felt like a top three moment, I’m not just saying that. I didn’t expect this or want this, and I didn’t even think I was gonna be at SummerSlam after WrestleMania, so I was very much directionless.\”

    This Felt Really Cool: Charlotte Flair

    Charlotte Flair later discussed how she wasn\’t sure about her SummerSlam spot after losing to Tiffany Stratton at WrestleMania 41. The pairing with Alexa, however, gave her a new direction:

    \”So after ‘Mania, I was like, damn, I came back, I gave it all, and I don’t know what’s next, and then here’s like this little five feet of fury who is like, hey, what’s going on with you, come hang out with me, and I’m like no,

    And here we are at SummerSlam, and it’s just like, damn, even after 10 years, and everything I’ve done, this felt really frickin’ cool.”

    SummerSlam features multiple other women\’s matches but there is one title that has been left out of the card. You can check out what a top star said about this glaring omission here.

  • Jelly Roll Ranks SummerSlam Experience Above His Music Achievements

    Jelly Roll has revealed where his SummerSlam match ranks among his other achievements.

    The singing star made his wrestling debut at night 1 of the show from MetLife Stadium. He teamed up with Randy Orton to take on the duo of Logan Paul and Drew McIntyre but the faces ended up losing the bout.

    The Celebrity wrestler then appeared on the SummerSlam post show to talk about his experience. Jelly Roll ranked the whole thing above his music achievements, saying that it\’s up there with the birth of his child:

    “It’s right up there next to marrying my wife and having the birth of my child. It’s the greatest show on I’ve ever done. It feels right up there with the first time I played the Grand Ole Opry.

    It was spiritual. It was special, even to be getting my ass kicked a bunch. It’s funny to be getting your butt kicked and still feel kind of good about it afterwards.”

    Jelly Roll later discussed how he has been a lifelong WWE fan and he\’s been watching wrestling since the 90s. He claimed that he learned a lot about himself while preparing for the match.

    Triple H was part of the post-show as well, where he talked about the 40-year-old\’s performance and his future with the company. You can check out what he said here.

  • Stephanie McMahon Confirms Wrestling Future On SummerSlam Weekend

    Stephanie McMahon has commented on her future with WWE.

    The WWE Executive has maintained her distance from the TV programming in recent times, only making a few cameos here and there. Though with the female star not being retired from the ring officially, fans have still been hopeful about a potential in-ring return for her somewhere down the line.

    The Attitude Era star commented on the possibility while appearing on SummerSlam night 1 pre-show. She first claimed that she won\’t be returning to the ring because she can\’t match the performance of today\’s talents. Though Stephanie McMahon did not rule out a non-wrestling role, saying that she would be open to becoming a manager for the right name:

    “Trust me, I can’t hang with these women. I mean, you’re going to see Tiffany Stratton, you’re going to see Jade Cargill, you’re going to see all of these incredible matches. I just can’t compete at their level. I appreciate the question. You know, I could be the mouthpiece. I’ll come talk a good game, but you don’t want me in the ring.”

    Stephanie McMahon last wrestled during WrestleMania 34 back in 2018. She teamed up with Triple H to take on a debuting Ronda Rousey and her partner Kurt Angle. McMahon\’s team lost the bout.

    Tonight\’s SummerSlam PLE featured a big surprise ending with Seth Rollins cashing in his MITB contract on CM Punk after faking an injury. You can check out how the wrestling world reacted to it here.

  • Triple H Reveals What He Told Jelly Roll After SummerSlam Debut

    Triple H has reacted to Jelly Roll\’s SummerSlam performance.

    The singing star made his wrestling debut in a tag team match at night 1 of the Biggest Party of the Summer. He teamed up with Randy Orton to take on the duo of Logan Paul and Drew McIntyre.

    During the SummerSlam post-show, Triple H was asked if Jelly Roll delivered what he had expected. The Game praised the newest WWE star, revealing what he told JR backstage after the show:

    “100%. I said this to him in the back, when he was done and he walked in the back. The doc was checking him out and making sure he was okay, and I walked up to him, and I said, ‘The one thing you did here was make everybody proud. You earned your spot in our business.’ You earned that.\”

    I Don\’t Think I Can Stop It: Triple H

    The WWE Chief Content Officer was also asked about the future of Jelly Roll after tonight. Triple H claimed that the 40-year-old has already started planning his return to the ring:

    “I don’t think I can stop it. He’s already talked to me about coming back. He’s already talked to me about doing more.

    We’ll see when the time is right, and you know, when you have that level of respect for people, you want to be able to see them have that opportunity again. So, we’ll be talking, and we’ll see what he can do. I’m sure he’s got some payback coming for Logan Paul and Drew McIntyre, so we’ll see.”

    The ending of tonight\’s match saw Logan Paul pinning Jelly Roll with a frog splash. So it\’s possible that the company will revisit this rivalry down the line.

  • Hats Off: Triple H Reacts To Seth Rollins\’ SummerSlam Cash In

    Triple H isn\’t \’thrilled\’ with Seth Rollins.

    The WWE Chief Content Officer appeared at the SummerSlam post-show. He was asked about Seth Rollins faking his knee injury to cash in his MITB contract on CM Punk at the end of the PLE.

    The Game played innocent to the whole thing. Triple H first praised Seth Rollins for fooling everyone and claimed that he is not thrilled about the bogus medical reports he received:

    “Seth Rollins is playing chess while everyone is playing checkers, and he comes out, goes through none of it, and takes the World Heavyweight Championship. My hats off to Seth Rollins. That’s a smart way to do business. Not thrilled about bogus medical reports, but we’ll deal with that down the line.”

    Until One of Them is Done: Triple H

    Triple H also commented on the rivalry between Punk and Rollins that has been going on since the Straight Edge star returned to WWE. He explained that Seth Rollins believes Punk wronged the business and so they\’re destined to continue this feud forever:

    \”CM Punk, in his mind wronged the one thing Seth Rollins cares about, and it is the WWE and the respect for this industry, and he will never forgive him for that. He can’t get past it; he can’t grow past it. I think they’re destined to do this until one of them is done.”

    Seth Rollins ended the PLE with his signature celebration with the belt. CM Punk on the other hand stayed in the ring, trying to get a grasp of the situation even after the show. You can check out what happened with him after SummerSlam went off air here.
