WWE SummerSlam will come to MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey next year, in the first two-night edition of the Biggest Party of the Summer. This is a blockbuster venture for the state, which used Covid relief funds to secure WWE’s second-largest annual Premium Live Event.

New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority approved a resolution to allocate $7.125M to be used to assist MetLife Stadium with “securing and hosting the WWE SummerSlam,” North Jersey reports. The money is part of the American Rescue Plan; funding that the state received from the federal government during the COVID-19 pandemic. The money can be used to “respond to the negative economic impacts of the public health emergency by providing aid to impacted industries such as tourism, travel, and hospitality.”

The resolution expects WWE SummerSlam to generate over $80 million in “total economic impact for the region,” making the initial $7.125 million a sound investment. The state was given $6.24 billion in federal pandemic relief funding back in May 2021.

WWE SummerSlam won’t be New Jersey’s first event to see funding from the American Rescue Plan. Last year, UFC 288 took place in Newark’s Prudential Center with $3.5 million in pandemic relief funds being used to secure the event. In 2026, MetLife Stadium will play host the the FIFA World Cup Finals, with the entire tournament set to take place across the United States.

As for SummerSlam, it’ll be up to Paul ‘Triple H’ Levesque and his creative team to fill the show’s two nights and Liv Morgan already has a dream mixed tag-team match planned for her home state. Stay tuned to SEScoops for all the latest in the build to the Biggest Party of the Summer on August 2, and August 3, next year.

As WWE Women’s World Champion, Liv Morgan is one of WWE’s most featured performers and appears each week with Dominik Mysterio by her side. Next year, WWE SummerSlam 2025 will come to Morgan’s homestate of New Jersey, and the Judgment Day member has a dream match in mind.

While speaking during a Fanatics Fest autograph session over WWE Bad Blood weekend, Liv was about her dream match for SummerSlam and hopes to step in the ring with AJ Lee.

”My dream match for SummerSlam in New Jersey is myself and Daddy Dom vs. CM Punk and AJ Lee. We’re two Jersey girls, Dominik hates CM Punk and I think that could be [a great match.]”

Dominik certainly has his reasons for being opposed to CM Punk, as the Best in the World defeated Mysterio twice in December 2023, the first WWE matches for Punk since returning to the promotion. Punk recently put Mysterio’s name forward as one of the stars he plans to face after his feud with Drew McIntyre is finished.

WWE’s Roster Wants AJ Lee

Morgan isn’t the only Superstar eager to see AJ Lee return as Cora Jade and Bayley recently shared their support for the idea on X. Lee, who hasn’t competed since the March 30, 2015, edition of WWE Raw, had the following to say.

CM Punk has said he’d love to see his wife return to WWE, but he would not force the idea on her as such a choice will be her decision alone. With WWE SummerSlam 2025 set to be a two-night event in East Rutherford, the promotion will be needing a stacked card to fill both nights of the show. Stay tuned to SEScoops to see whether AJ Lee is part of that card as Liv Morgan hopes.

For the rest of the NFL season, I’ll be doing a pro football round-up and how the pro wrestling world collides with the stars and teams of the National Football league. 

Unlike Week 4,  Seth Rollins is very happy with his Chicago Bears after being “eliminated” from Lucas Oil Field courtesy of TY Hilton and Sheamus actually remembered to bring his “Luck of The Irish” for the football team he tried to hype (albiet collegiate football). Let’s get to it!

Seth Rollins’ Bears Get The Win, Set To Appear On NBC Sunday Night Football

More often than not, Seth Rollins has found himself on the losing end as a Bears fan, but this week his favorite team recorded a solid W against the Los Angeles Rams. Seth was quick to celebrate on social media and reveal that he’d be a special guest on tonight’s NBC Sunday Night Football to celebrate.

Seth Rollins did appear and was on the sidelines for the Ravens and The Visionary was indeed on the winning side!

Sheamus Sees His “Fightin’ Irish” Win

Sheamus has been making his way all across the football hash marks and although this particular moment isn’t tied to the NFL, it’s tough to not feel the “Luck of the Irish” for “The Celtic Warrior.” Sheamus was in South Bend, IN to motivate Notre Dame as they clashed with the Louisville Cardinals. His hyping the Tennessee Titans fans last week didn’t get anything going, but Notre Dame sure was feeling a “fight night” as they handled Louisville 31-24.

Izzy Moreno Wrestles At Houston Texans Game

“Bayley’s Biggest Fan” decided to follow in her hero’s footsteps by actually getting into the wrestling ring, and Izzy Moreno did just that on Sunday. Before the Houston Texans took on Tony Khan’s Jacksonville Jaguars, Izzy had her own kind of competition outside Houston Stadium. Moreno successfully defined her Mission Pro Championship Title in a singles match before kickoff.

Thunder Rosa Officiated A Match Between Simon Miller & Texan’s Mascot Toro

Moreno was not alone in Houston. One of her mentors. Thunder Rosa also happened to be in attendance for the big game as CJ Stroud and his Texans got the W against The Jaguars. However, Rosa made sure “Toro The Bull,” the Texans mascot, also got the W against Simon Miller in a match before the game.

Drew McIntyre & Liv Morgan Head To Indianapolis

Drew McIntyre didn’t endear himself anymore to Seth Rollins as he and Liv Morgan tagged up to hang with the Indianapolis Colts before they battled the Pittsburgh Steelers. McIntyre and Morgan joined Pat McAfee to hype the Royal Rumble coming to the city in 2025.

MJF Wants Some Royalties From Washington

Someone on the Washington Commanders social media team is a wrestling fan, but MJF would like some residuals. In hype for their Monday Night Football game against the Bengals for week three, a video was posted on TikTok of MJF referring to the Midwest as “Mid”, but the team logo was superimposed over Max’s face. In classic heel fashion MJF took exception to the Commanders using his likeness.

New York Jets Owner Hypes WWE SummerSlam

New York Jets owner Woody Johnson has garnered a polarizing reputation among Jets fans, but one decision that was certainly good for wrestling fans is that WWE SummerSlam will be coming to MetLife Stadium early August of 2025. Johnson took to his X account to express his excitement for the two-night rendezvous with WWE as the Jets prepped to take on the Denver Broncos this Sunday. However, the Jets didn’t ride that moment and lost to Denver 10-9.

Wrestling Related Games Win-Loss Record

Quite the rebound for pro wrestling related NFL stories as the teams tied to stars came out of week mostly unscathed except those darn Jets! With Seth both representing the Bears and the Ravens the pro wrestling NFL connection stands at 5-1 for week three

After two weeks, wrestling related NFL stories stand at 6-5.

AEW may have had New York City last night as the host of Grand Slam, but WWE will take a bite out of the Big Apple next summer. On Thursday, WWE announced that the company will have a full weekened residence at MetLife Stadium on August 2 and August 3.

WWE released a press release breaking the news, but they also put together a promotional spot featuring Bianca Belair and hip-hop sensation Cardi B. In the video, Bianca gets a phone call and it’s Cardi on the other line and the package features one of her songs. Cardi B posted on X to share her excitement for the news and offered the following comment.

“Here’s to the Streets.. and to my girl Bianca Belair! SummerSlam. 2Nights. MetLife Stadium. August 2nd and 3rd”

WWE has been making the most of their wrestlers and their ties to rap artists who are also wrestling fans. Just two weeks ago, Megan Thee Stallion was revealed to be the new musical voice of the WWE SmackDown intro. Stallion even took to social media to tease a potential debut for WWE down the line.

The ironic aspect of these specific artists hitching their wagon to WWE is that both stars are admirers of Mercedes Mone who is neck deep in a massive contract with AEW. While on The Breakfast Club earlier this week, Mone revealed that there were match plans with Stallion, but now that she’s with AEW those plans are off. Surprisingly enough, Mone was not a presence on AEW Grand Slam.

Machine Gun Kelly had some choice words for Randy Orton, and made his views perfectly clear about the Viper at WWE SummerSlam in Cleveland. For the August PLE, Kelly accompanied Logan Paul for his U.S. title match that saw the Maverick lose the gold to current champion LA Knight. Speaking on Paul’s ImPaulsive podcast, Kelly recalled seeing Orton backstage at the event.

“I saw Randy Orton, and I remember seeing Randy Orton talk s*** about me. And there’s a point where I’m going to practice a new version of myself. 3-2-1, I’m like ‘F*** that! Hey man, f*** you!’ I don’t know where you [Paul] were but all my boys were ‘Is this real? Is this part of the script?’ The amount of people that pinned me as the aggressor in every situation I’m in are so wrong.”

Orton didn’t compete at SummerSlam, but appeared on the following episode of Monday Night RAW where he confronted GUNTHER. Orton will challenge the WWE World Heavyweight Champion this Saturday at the first WWE Bash In Berlin PLE.

Machine Gun Kelly in WWE

Machine Gun Kelly is no stranger to appearing in WWE. In 2015, Kelly performed on WWE RAW, but ate a powerbomb on the stage by Kevin Owen for his troubles. Despite doing nothing to rile up the crowd other than perform his music, the fans cheered when Owens delivered the move and gave the former Universal Champion a ‘Thank You Owens’ chant.

Kelly also appeared at the December 4, 2017 edition of Monday Night RAW and would appear again that same month as part of Tribute to the Troops. In 2022, MGK served as the Executive Producer of the soundtrack for the WWE 2K22 video game. He would be included as a playable character in the game.

The landscape of WWE champions has reached a feat not seen in close to five years following the title changes that unfolded at SummerSlam 2024. The Biggest Party of the Summer saw four titles change hands, as Bron Breakker, LA Knight, Nia Jax, and GUNTHER left Cleveland, Ohio with gold.

With these title changes, WWE is currently in a period where all reigning champions across both the main roster and WWE NXT won their titles this year. The United States Championship was the last title to join the list as Logan Paul had held the gold since WWE Crown Jewel 2023.

The last time all WWE champions held titles they’d won in the same year was all the way back in late 2009. The champions at the time were:

• WWE Champion: Sheamus (Won in December 2009)
• World Heavyweight Champion: The Undertaker (Won in October 2009)
• ECW World Champion: Christian (Won in July 2009)
• United States Champion: The Miz (Won in October 2009)
• Intercontinental Champion: Drew McIntyre (Won in December 2009)
• Unified WWE Tag Team Champions: DX (Won in December 2009)
• WWE Divas Champion: Melina (Won in October 2009)
• WWE Women’s Champion: Michelle McCool (Won in May 2009)

H/T to @WWEStats for uncovering this stat. Stay tuned to SEScoops for more interesting wrestling facts and statistics.

The question now is which of WWE’s current champions will be able to keep their gold the longest, and who will be the first to drop their gold. Coming out of SummerSlam, only one title match has been confirmed as new World Heavyweight Champion GUNTHER will take on Randy Orton at WWE Bash In Berlin on August 31.

Zilla Fatu, who is the son of late WWE star Umaga, was recently spotted at last Saturday’s WWE SummerSlam PLE in Cleveland. Zilla was promoted for a UPW Wrestling show in Michigan on Saturday and GCW’s New Jersey show on Sunday. However, he missed both the shows which led to speculation that he officially signed with WWE during the SummerSlam weekend. Well, that is not the case.

Fightful Select has reported that Zilla Fatu ended up having travel delays and cancelations that would put him at the show on time. The report suggested that WWE “naturally has their eyes on him”, but he is still expected to make appearances for GCW in the future.

The real-life Bloodline member trained at Booker T’s Reality of Wrestling school and made his pro-wrestling debut at ROW Summer Of Champions IX in July last year. He has also competed for GCW and HOG. Fatu also won the HOG Crown Jewel Title during the promotion’s event on July 26.

WWE SummerSlam proved to be an important event for the Bloodline storyline. Solo Sikoa failed to dethrone the Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes in a Bloodline Rules Match. Jacob Fatu, Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa interfered in the match but things didn’t work for them. Roman Reigns made his blockbuster return wearing the “Original Tribal Chief” (OTC) shirt. ‘The Head of The Table’ then laid out his cousin Solo Sikoa with a Superman Punch before hitting a Spear. This helped Cody Rhodes to capitalize and retain the title.

• Roman Reigns Set for SmackDown

Bron Breakker has made a very interesting proposition for John Cena’s retirement tour after winning the Intercontinental Championship from Sami Zayn at SummerSlam.

SEScoops correspondent MuscleManMalcolm caught up with the former NXT Champion at the WWE SummerSlam media day. They discussed things such as Breakker’s time in the NFL, his unique way of hyping himself, and more.

When asked about challenging Sami Zayn for the Intercontinental Championship at the PLE tonight, Bron mentioned his Money In The Bank loss against Zayn. The WWE superstar claimed that Sami caught him unprepared the first time, but now he is ready for everything:

“You know what, I’m prepared for everything. Anything and everything this weekend. Because, you know, I think we gotta give credit where credit’s due. Sami Zayn caught me sleeping per say at Money In The Bank, but I’m locked and loaded man. Focused like shit. Effort, attitude, toughness, gonna be on full display this weekend. I’m taking it to him. So I’m ready for everything.”

• Sami Zayn Believes Bron Breakker Has A Bright Future

Bron Breakker Wants To Face John Cena

Bron Breakker also put forward a very interesting proposition when asked who he would like to defend the Championship against. The 26-year-old mentioned how John Cena has never held the IC title in his career, and challenged the 16-time world champion to come take the belt from him:

“John Cena. He has never won the Intercontinental Championship before. So I say come take it from me. Come take the Championship from me. Grow some balls, come take the Championship from me. Let’s go. Let’s do it.”

The Cenation Leader has confirmed that he will be active throughout 2025 and he is planning to make around 25-30 appearances for the company.

The Hollywood star chasing the IC title to become a Grand Slam Champion before his official retirement would certainly make for a very interesting story in his final year.

Logan Paul has been reflecting on his time as WWE United States Champion after his reign came to an end at SummerSlam 2024. To Wiz Khalifa’s See You Again, the Maverick looked back on some moments from his reign, including his victory over Rey Mysterio, and sharing a bed with the star-spangled strap.

Paul captured the title at WWE Crown Jewel in November 2023 and would go on to have the longest reign as United States Champion of the past ten years. Paul’s reign would see him defend against Kevin Owens at the Royal Rumble and against Owens and Randy Orton at WWE WrestleMania 40.

The Maverick’s reign as champion ended at the hands of LA Knight in Paul’s hometown of Cleveland, Ohio. This win marks Knight’s first major title since arriving in WWE, a victory many fans believe was long overdue. Knight held the Million Dollar championship in WWE NXT though that is not a sanctioned title by the promotion.

At the post-show media scrum, Knight told SE Scoops’ own Malcolm that he intends to build a legacy in WWE as United States Champion. That legacy-building will start this Friday as Paul is being advertised for the upcoming episode of SmackDown in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Logan Paul isn’t advertised to be at the show but has said he’ll be in touch with Paul regarding the PRIME truck the new U.S. Champion damaged. Stay tuned to SE Scoops for all the latest from the United States Championship and Logan Paul.

WWE SummerSlam 2024 is in the books with a lot of interesting storyline developments coming out of the latest Premium Live Event.

Fightful Select has provided some backstage updates on topics such as the top merch sellers coming out of the PPV and more.

According to the reports, the Intercontinental Championship match between Sami Zayn and Bron Breakker was allotted 10 minutes.

The bout in which Breakker defeated the wrestling veteran to win his first title on the main roster ended after only 5 minutes and 42 seconds.

Cody Rhodes was the top merch seller for the company at the WWE Superstore in Cleveland and the merch stand at the Cleveland Browns Stadium.

Roman Reigns reportedly didn’t crack the top three but that’s expected to change with his return. The $600 custom WWE Championship belt for Reigns on the company’s online store did end up selling out within 24 hours.

A very interesting new addition to WWE programming was the ref cam. It was first tested at the performance center and they tried to fine-tune it before Saturday.

Though everything did not go as planned for the company as the battery pack of the camera fell out during the CM Punk vs Drew McIntyre match. Seth Rollins ended up making the decision to remove the camera afterward. The concept is expected to continue.

There were multiple spots at the event which made fans worried about the health of the participating wrestlers. The most notable was Jacob Fatu’s leg injury during the main event which was said to be preplanned.

The spot with Rhea Ripley’s shoulder during her match with Liv Morgan was also planned in advance. The nasty landing of Logan Paul during the superplex spot with LA Knight was the one thing that wasn’t expected, but the YouTube star was said to be okay afterward.

• WWE SummerSlam 2024 Complete Results: Roman Reigns Returns, Multiple Title Changes

The SummerSlam spot with Jacob Fatu that has been a matter of discussion among fans was something WWE had reportedly planned in advance.

The Bloodline member had seemingly hurt his foot while delivering a top rope splash to Cody Rhodes through the announce table during the main event of the show.

A video that surfaced online on Sunday morning saw the 32-year-old wearing a walking boot, further pointing to his injury being real.

Fightful Select has since provided some more updates on Fatu. According to them, the spot with Jacob selling his leg following the move was pre-planned.

Contrary to popular belief, no audible was called during the bout. Neither Jimmy Uso nor Jey Uso was planned to be a part of the main event in any capacity. Talent and staff believed Jacob Fatu to be okay following the match.

What’s Next For The Bloodline?

Roman Reigns has already been making a big impact for WWE since his return. The YouTube video of his comeback has garnered over 2.5 million views in less than 24 hours, and the $600 custom WWE Championship belt announced after his appearance has already sold out.

The Original Tribal Chief, however, will need some help if he wants to take back his spot from Solo Sikoa and all the new members of The Bloodline.

The big thing to see will be if Reigns finds new allies in his fight against his own cousin or if old friends return to help The Head of The Table in his new quest.

WWE SummerSlam 2024 didn’t go as Logan Paul had hoped, but the Maverick is honored to have been part of this year’s event in Cleveland. After the show, Paul reflected on the end of his United States Championship reign and being able to perform in his hometown. Paul shared his congratulations to LA Knight but made clear that he hasn’t forgotten Knight destroying his PRIME truck.

Paul lost the U.S. Title to LA Knight, ending the Maverick’s reign with the gold that had begun at WWE Crown Jewel 2023. Paul’s reign had been the longest of the past decade, hardly a surprising feat considering he’d only defended twice before his loss to Knight. The match also marked the first SummerSlam loss of Paul, who defeated The Miz in 2022, and Ricochet at the Biggest Party of the Summer last year.

Paul’s part-time schedule with WWE will have fans wondering when he will next compete though he has suggested he’s not finished with LA Knight. As for the new United States Champion, fans can expect to see him this Friday on SmackDown. The post-SummerSlam fallout show will take place from Tulsa, Oklahoma’s BOK Center and Knight is one of the stars advertised for the event.

After a long time, one many fans feel was too long, LA Knight is a champion and ready to build a legacy in WWE. Stay tuned to SE Scoops for the latest on LA Knight and his future as the WWE U.S. Champion.

Jacob Fatu’s SummerSlam foot injury has seemingly been confirmed with a new video of the WWE star that has surfaced online.

Social media influencers and YouTube creators The Haroon Twins posted a video with The Bloodline star on their Instagram account this morning.

In the video as seen below, Fatu was spotted wearing a walking boot, seemingly confirming that the WWE star was legitimately hurt at the PLE last night:

Just went back and rewatched this and fuck man… my nigga Jacob Fatu is really hurt.. you can see the anger in his eyes.. this really sucks man.. fuck. #SummerSlam pic.twitter.com/GRsOLT5BdM

— Steez (@ChrisSteez_) August 4, 2024

AEW World Champion Swerve Strickland took on his Twitter to send wishes to the Bloodline star after hearing about his injury:

Jacob Fatu’s Injury

Last night’s WWE event saw Solo Sikoa challenging Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship in the main event of the show in a Bloodline Rules match.

The members of Sikoa’s Bloodline all tried to help their Tribal Chief win this match. Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa both came out first but Kevin Owens and Randy Orton brawled them out of the arena.

Jacob Fatu was next in line and he appeared as Cody was looking to deliver a series of Cross Rhodes on Solo to win the match.

Fatu attacked the American Nightmare and took him out of the ring. He then delivered a top rope splash on Rhodes through the announce table.

The Wolf of The Bloodline seemed to have suffered an injury in this spot, however, as he clutched his foot immediately afterwards and looked to be in pain. He was taken out of the match after the spot and didn’t participate in the bout any further.

The post-show video also saw Fatu trying to avoid putting any strain on the injured foot while being helped to the back and Triple H confirmed that he was ‘banged up’ at the post show press conference.

The new video further supports the belief that Jacob Fatu was legitimately hurt from the spot. Stay tuned with SEScoops for more updates on his injury.

• WWE SummerSlam Complete Results: Roman Reigns Returns

Bron Breakker gave Sami Zayn his proverbial flowers after capturing the Intercontinental Championship at SummerSlam from the Canadian. Speaking on the WWE SummerSlam post-show, Breakker acknowledged the work of Zayn and his title reign.

“Sami has been on top for quite some time. He’s main evented WrestleMania. He’s had the Intercontinental Championship multiple times, [he is a former] World Tag Team Champion. He’s had a Hall of Fame career, there’s no doubt he will be in the Hall of Fame one day.”

Breakker’s victory was celebrated by his father Rick Steiner and his uncle Scott Steiner. Speaking about his own aspirations for the Intercontinental Championship, the second-generation wrestler vowed to defend the gold with pride.

“I’m going to carry this championship with the most prestige and honor that I can hold it, to the highest standard and the highest level that we can do it on Monday Night RAW.”

Breakker’s vow to defend his title with prestige and honor could see the new Intercontinental Champion share the ring with a WWE icon. Speaking exclusively to SE Scoops this week, Breakker said he plans on facing John Cena with the Intercontinental title on the line.

Cena will retire from in-ring competition in 2025 and the Intercontinental Championship is the one title keeping Big Match John from completing WWE’s Triple Crown and its Grand Slam. Cena is expected to make around 25-30 appearances for WWE before hanging up his jorts for good.

Cody Rhodes has revealed something WWE did during the SummerSlam PPV for the legends in attendance that warmed his heart.

The big WWE shows usually attract many superstars from past and present who are not part of the regular WWE programming or do not have a backstage role with the company.

One such name was Arn Anderson who made an appearance on tonight’s show to support Cody Rhodes. The American Nightmare was asked about Arn’s presence during the post-show media scrum.

The Undisputed WWE Champion mentioned how Arn has been a part of his journey since his AEW days. He explained the significance the wrestling veteran has for him:

“I had made that decision. When I was with AEW, I’d made the decision that, ‘Hey, I can’t have my dad for this stuff. He’s not here physically. I want someone who was with him.’ They didn’t have to be an ally, they could have been an adversary. He came in and he was such a piece of sanity for me during a really chaotic time.”

Cody Rhodes Reveals WWE’s Gesture For Legends

Cody Rhodes said that getting the moment with Arn Anderson was really special for him and he hopes to see more of the former champion. He then revealed an incredible gesture from WWE top brass to make sure the visiting legends all got the respect they deserved from young stars:

“This is an internal thing, it’s inside baseball, if I get in trouble for sharing this, I apologize. But something that WWE did today that I thought was incredible. I’ve never seen this before, was all the wrestlers got a text. All of us, Byron you got it. We all got it about the legends that were going to be here tonight.

Not just ‘Hey the legends will be here tonight. Go say hello. Go say thank you.’ There was a one sheeter with each of their pictures and a biography because we got a lot of young guns. Tiffany Stratton, for example they may not know everybody, probably does.

But just the idea that the legends are going to be treated that way here, as WWE’s entered its greatest era ever. Really hats off to Chris Legentil, Matt Altman, Nick Khan. Triple H, Bruce [Prichard], whoever came up with it. I thought it was a really brilliant thing.”

Cody Rhodes defeated Solo Sikoa with help from Roman Reigns to retain his championship at the latest WWE PPV. You can check out what happened with Sikoa after the show went off air here.

Triple H has confirmed Stephanie McMahon’s status with WWE.

The former WWE Chief Brand Officer was present at the ringside for the company’s latest PPV. She was seen hugging CM Punk after his match in a fan made video.

The WWE Creative Head was asked about Stephanie’s status with the company during the SummerSlam 2024 post-show. He confirmed that the daughter of the former WWE chairman currently does not have an official role with the company:

“She does not have an official role right now, but I can tell you this, she loves this, absolutely loves it. Sometimes harder to love it, sometimes easy to love it. It’s easy to love it again for her. She’s enjoying watching it. She’s enjoying coming to the shows, seeing everybody in the back, she loves it.

She’s Enjoying It: Triple H

Triple H explained that Stephanie McMahon is just enjoying being a fan at the moment and she is busy taking care of their kids:

“If I’m the little kid booking or writing or however you want to say it, but she’s sitting next to me, a little kid, enjoying it and loving it. It’s been her whole life, since she was little. No official role right now. Right now, her official role is enjoying our kids getting too old too fast, but we’ll see what the future holds. I would expect to see her around, because she loves it and she’s enjoying being around it again.”

Triple H also commented on WWE’s partnership with companies like TNA and NOAH saying that they’re open for business. He mentioned how territories do not exist anymore and the partnerships helps young talents get the reps they require to get good.

• WWE SummerSlam Results: Multiple Title Changes

Drew McIntyre is finally done with CM Punk after defeating the Straight Edge Star at the SummerSlam 2024 PPV, or so he thinks.

The bitter rivals faced each other in a singles match with Seth Rollins as special guest referee at the latest WWE PLE. Punk, who was returning from an injury delivered a great performance alongside the other WWE stars.

At the end, however, the Straight Edge Star let his emotions take over. He had the match won on two occasions but trying to get his named bracelet back and getting physical with Seth Rollins cost him the opportunities. At the end, McIntyre won the match with a Claymore Kick.

The former NXT Champion appeared on the SummerSlam post-show to gloat about his victory. When asked if he’s done with CM Punk, Drew McIntyre said that he did exactly what he had promised:

“Of course, this is over. I did exactly what I said I was going to do. I defeated CM Punk. I humiliated CM Punk, and I took everything from CM Punk. I should have taken more, but [the bracelet with Larry and AJ Lee’s name] is going to be a nice reminder of when punk tried McIntyre and failed.

• CM Punk & Drew McIntyre Pay Tribute to Iconic WWE Match at SummerSlam 2024

Drew McIntyre Gives CM Punk Credit

Drew McIntyre gave CM Punk credit for bringing a fight he wasn’t expecting from the wrestling veteran, but explained that he is better than the former AEW star:

“I’ll give CM Punk credit. I didn’t expect him to bring the fight like he brought it, but realistically in 2024, Drew McIntyre is the absolute best in the world, the total package in every way. Who is Punk going to blame?

I know he’s probably going to come out on Raw; maybe he’ll post a little social media promo, ‘It was Seth’s fault,’ maybe it was the cameraman’s fault, or he’ll make some kind of excuse. In the end, not just CM Punk, nobody on this planet is as good as Drew McIntyre, and Punk found that in that ring, on this microphone, Drew McIntyre is the man.”

It’s unknown what McIntyre is planning for his future but it seems likely that he will be going after the new World Heavyweight Champion Gunther on Raw.

• WWE SummerSlam Results: Multiple Title Changes

The new WWE World Heavyweight Champion Gunther does not feel that his victory at SummerSlam 2024 was undeserved in any way.

The Ring General challenged Damian Priest for the title at the show in a hard-hitting match everyone expected. Finn Balor showed up at the ringside halfway through the bout to cheer up his teammate.

The ending of the bout saw Priest delivering a Razor’s Edge and South of Heaven to his opponent. As he went for the pin, however, Balor put Gunther’s foot on the rope.

Damian tried to go after the former Universal Champion after he saw the replay but Gunther didn’t allow him to do so. The challenger then took out the Judgement Day star with a sleeper hold to win his first world title in WWE.

The new champion was interviewed backstage during the SummerSlam post-show and he said that the win felt ‘deserved.’ When asked if the victory was tainted in any way due to Balor’s interferences, Gunther proclaimed that he is not ashamed of the way he won:

“Nothing’s tainted, no reservations. Nothing to be ashamed of. From this day forth, Monday Night Raw and the legacy of the World Heavyweight Championship belong to me. If anybody out there thinks I don’t deserve this, they know where to find me,”

The Dissolution of Judgement Day?

Damian Priest wasn’t the only Judgement Day member who had to face betrayal from his own teammate at tonight’s Premium Live Event.

Rhea Ripley who was challenging Liv Morgan for the Women’s World Championship had Dominik Mysterio on her side. Dirty Dom, however, ended up helping Morgan in the end, causing Rhea to lose the bout.

With the latest developments, it seems likely that we have seen the last of The Judgement Day as a group and the WWE stars will be pursuing individual rivalries in the coming time.

• WWE SummerSlam Results: Multiple Title Changes

The deeply personal match between Drew McIntyre & CM Punk at WWE SummerSlam 2024 paid tribute to a match at the same event from 1997. For the match, McIntyre arrived wearing a dark, spiked attire while Punk wore a pink and black get-up that fans may have found familiar.

The pair’s choice of wardrobe was a nod to the SummerSlam 1997 main event between Bret Hart & The Undertaker. For that match, the Phenom arrived in a dark, spiked attire while the Hitman wore his signature pink and black. While it was Bret who won on that night (winning his fifth WWF World Championship in the process), Punk would not have the same luck as his role model and he’d come up short against the Scottish Warrior.

The attires worn for the Punk-McIntyre showdown wasn’t the only nod to 1997. Both matches featured a charismatic guest referee with Shawn Michaels officiating in 1997 and Seth Rollins in charge this week. During the Punk-McIntyre match, Rollins took a chair from McIntyre and swung for the Scotsman who ducked and Seth nearly hit Punk. This spot was also a tribute to the previous match, as Shawn would swing for Bret’s head but would accidentally hit The Undertaker.

McIntyre emerged victorious at SummerSlam and said after the show that he is ready to move on from CM Punk, who shared a similar sentiment before SummerSlam. Stay tuned to SE Scoops for all the latest coming out of an explosive WWE SummerSlam.

Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes is ready to put his title on the line against Roman Reigns following the latter’s return at SummerSlam 2024. Speaking on the post-show press conference, Rhodes was asked about the man he vanquished at WrestleMania 40.

“Roman Reigns, certainly, he’s entitled to a rematch, because he held the title for so long. That match, it has to happen.

“I’ve been in there twice with him, brother hits hard. So the idea of that, it’s there, to do, I don’t know if anyone saw, I was tapping the title like this, because I know there is a third one somewhere down the line.”

Reigns returned during the main event of WWE SummerSlam that saw Rhodes face Solo Sikoa under Bloodline Rules. After appearances by Jacob Fatu, Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa, Randy Orton, and Kevin Owens, Reigns appeared to the delight of the Cleveland crowd.

After weeks of Solo Sikoa insulting Reigns, including calling him “weak” on the go-home SmackDown, Roman fired back with a Superman punch and spear to the self-appointed Bloodline leader. Reigns and Rhodes shared a look before Cody hit Cross Rhodes to retain his title.

A rematch between Rhodes & Reigns would be the third chapter in the epic saga between the two men that has dominated WWE for close to two years. At WrestleMania 39, Reigns defeated Rhodes to retain the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion, but Cody would finish the story at WrestleMania 40 this past April. Stay tuned to SE Scoops for all the latest from WWE SummerSlam and a possible Cody Rhodes Vs. Roman Reigns rematch.

Jacob Fatu was helped to the back by Solo Sikoa and the referee once SummerSlam 2024 went off air following an exploding main event.

The self-proclaimed Tribal Chief tried everything he could to defeat Cody Rhodes and win the Undisputed WWE Championship in the main event of the latest PLE.

This included taking advantage of the Bloodline Rules stipulation and having his family members interface. Tonga Loa and Tama Tonga were the first to cause a distraction but they were taken out by Kevin Owens and Randy Orton respectively.

Jacob Fatu was the last to come out just as Cody was looking to win the match. He took Rhodes out of the ring and delivered a top rope splash, crashing both himself and the WWE Champion through the announce table.

Fatu stayed on the outside after this spot and it appeared that he had injured his leg. Though a video shows Fatu walking to the back with some help after the show went off air, suggesting that he was just selling the spot:

What’s Next For The Bloodline

The ending of the main event match saw the long-anticipated return of the original Tribal Chief Roman Reigns. Reigns delivered a Superman punch and a spear to Solo. This allowed Cody Rhodes to pin him for the win.

It’s likely that the former World Champion will be focusing on taking back his throne from Sikoa in the coming weeks, but he will need some help.

It’s expected that we will see the original Bloodline reuniting under Roman Reigns to take on the challenge of Solo and his disciples.

The wise man Paul Heyman was missing from the PPV tonight and one interesting thing to see would be which side he chooses in the upcoming Bloodline civil war.

• WWE SummerSlam 2024 Results: Multiple Title Changes

New WWE United States Champion LA Knight is ready to build a legacy following his title victory at WWE SummerSlam 2024 in Cleveland. During the post-show press conference, SE Scoops’ own Malcolm asked Knight what this title win means to him at this stage in his wrestling journey.

“It doesn’t matter if it was Logan Paul or anybody else, walking around with it [the U.S. Championship.] I wanted it, now I’ve got it.

“At this point now, for me, I’ve talked about 2023 being the foundation. 2024 now is the time to start building that legacy, building that– we’ll call it the legend of LA Knight. Why don’t we call it that?”

Knight captured the title from Logan Paul in the Maverick’s hometown of Cleveland, Ohio. This match marked just the third title defense for the former champion who won the gold back at WWE Crown Jewel in November 2023. The win also marks Paul’s first major championship since arriving in WWE.

During the press conference, Knight also addressed those who felt he’d lost his moment after failing to become Undisputed WWE Universal Champion against Roman Reigns last year.

“A lot of people, especially you look into the winter time [When Crown Jewel happened]. I see the talk from people. ‘Oh I think LA Knight has fallen off.’ Am I falling off now?!”

This win is indeed a long time coming for LA Knight and his fans, especially as many expected bigger things for him in 2023. Stay tuned to SE Scoops for all the latest from WWE SummerSlam 2024 and the reign of U.S. Champion LA Knight.

New WWE Women’s Champion Nia Jax has shared her gratitude to Triple H following her title victory at WWE SummerSlam in Cleveland. On the post-show press conference, Jax reflected on becoming champion after not being with WWE this time last year

“It’s pretty incredible. A year ago, it was a different position for me. But I am so grateful to Triple H for taking a chance on me. Not just a year ago but ten years ago when he hired me here. So, it’s been an incredible journey and I’m grateful for the opportunity.”

Jax captured the title from Bayley at WWE SummerSlam 2024. The win marks the Queen of the Ring’s first taste of singles gold in WWE since 2018 when she held the RAW Women’s Title. Though Tiffany Stratton teased cashing in her contract, this proved to be a distraction that would play a role in Bayley losing the title she had held since WrestleMania 40. Stratton appeared on the post-show press conference with Jax and was excited for the Queen of the Ring’s championship victory.

As a leading voice in WWE’s creative team, Triple H is certainly putting his faith in Jax as the premier woman on WWE SmackDown. Stay tuned to SE Scoops for all the latest from WWE SummerSlam and the reign of the brand-new WWE Women’s Champion.

Roman Reigns has made his return to WWE programming as part of the Bloodline Rules main event that took place at SummerSlam 2024.

The return of the Original Tribal Chief had been expected by the WWE Universe for weeks in the run-up towards SummerSlam. Reigns hadn’t been seen in WWE since his loss to Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 40: Sunday.

Roman Reigns Returns

In the Undisputed WWE Title match between Cody Rhodes and Solo Sikoa, The Bloodline (Jacob Fatu, Tama Tonga, and Tonga Loa) came to the aid of Sikoa. As promised by Arn Anderson, Rhodes had backup of his own in the form of Randy Orton and Kevin Owens.

In the ring, Rhodes leveled Solo Sikoa with a spear and a Superman punch. Donned in an OTC shirt (Original Tribal Chief), Reigns shared a look with Rhodes, but opted not to attack the man who beat him at WrestleMania 40. Rhodes would then hit a Cross Rhodes to get the win and retain his title.
