In the night’s main event, Roman Reigns defeated Jey Uso, with Jimmy Uso interfering and super-kicking his brother in a divisive nod to the ongoing Bloodline feud.
Jimmy’s actions will probably not be explained until Friday’s SmackDown, which will almost certainly result in a Uso vs. Uso matchup at a future PLE. Reigns is preparing for a protracted break after defeating Jey Uso and keeping the title of Tribal Chief, based on his social media statements.
Cody Rhodes’ response to his victory over Brock Lesnar, which resulted in the Beast Incarnate raising Rhodes’ hand in front of the Ford Field crowd, will certainly be shown on Monday’s Raw. The American Nightmare and Lesnar have been at odds for several months, but Rhodes could start his quest for the championship gold if he wins the rubber battle.

The consequences of Finn Balor’s defeat by Seth Rollins in their World Heavyweight Championship match may cause The Judgement Day stable to continue to split apart. Recent tensions between Balor and Damian Priest, the winner of Money in the Bank, will undoubtedly be increased by Rollins finishing Balor by stomping on top of the briefcase Priest brought into the ring.
Jed I. Goodman too posted about the WWE SummerSlam recording a gate of $8.5M through his Twitter account, he wrote “SummerSlam generated a record gate of $8.5M, the largest gate for any non-WrestleMania event ever. It was the most-watched SummerSlam in company history and among the top three audiences in the history of WWE on Peacock.”
The only championship that has changed hands on Saturday did it twice. Asuka and Charlotte Flair were defeated by Bianca Belair to win the WWE Women’s Championship, but Iyo Sky quickly ended her reign by cashing in her Money in the Bank contract.
Logan Paul defeated Ricochet in a thrilling opening match at SummerSlam, and the video of Samantha Irvin announcing Paul’s victory received 30 million views on social media in less than a day.
