All Highlights and Major Happenings from the Show
- The show started with a tribute paid to the iconic Hulk Hogan. A 10-bell salute was given to the Hulkster upon his death, and a special video package was shown featuring his entire journey in the pro wrestling business.
- Logan Paul hosted a special episode of his famous Impulsive Podcast inside the ring, opening the segment by arrogantly claiming credit for Cleveland’s success and distancing himself from the local crowd. Logan announced that his special guest for the day was Jelly Roll, who then entered the ring. The two exchanged heated words, with Jelly Roll criticizing Logan for his privileged upbringing and vowing to stand up for underdogs like himself. Tensions escalated as Drew McIntyre joined Logan, prompting chants for Randy Orton, who then made a surprise entrance. A chaotic brawl ensued, with both sides trading blows, and Jelly Roll ultimately gained the upper hand by hitting Logan Paul with a Spinning Bossman Slam, ending the segment with Randy Orton and Jelly Roll standing tall.
- A vignette featuring Andrade El Idolo and Rey Fenix was shown, in which they talked about knowing each other well and defending lucha libre. They said it’s only a matter of time until the tag titles are around their waists because they are money.
- During a backstage interview, Jade Cargill confidently declares herself a natural-born champion. Chelsea Green interrupts with the Secret Hervice, complaining about being cheated out of Queen of the Ring and insulting Cargill. Unfazed, Jade attacks Chelsea, physically dragging her through backstage and out to the arena, where she throws her down the ramp. This intense confrontation leads to an impromptu match being announced between Jade Cargill and Chelsea Green.
- Following Jade Cargill’s victory over Chelsea Green, the Secret Hervice (Alba Fyre and Piper Niven) ambushed Jade from behind and began assaulting her. Tiffany Stratton then rushed in to make the save. Together, Jade and Tiffany cleared Alba Fyre and Piper Niven from the ring. Jade then grabbed Tiffany’s WWE Women’s Championship, draping it over one shoulder. When Tiffany asked for the title back, Jade smiled and teased returning it but held on tightly, engaging in a brief tug of war.
- Cody Rhodes enters the ring and pays tribute to Hulk Hogan, acknowledging his profound impact on WWE and entertainment. He then shifts focus to SummerSlam, emphasizing that the event is about violence rather than virtue or victory. Cody expresses that he doesn’t want to face the John Cena who reluctantly accepted the match and is counting down the days to leave, but the “Real” John Cena—one who fights with full heart, wearing the title proudly and giving his all. He challenges Cena to prove that their rivalry and story are real, meaningful, and not just legacy or fantasy, promising to see him in the ring next week.
- After Jacob Fatu defeated The Miz, Solo Sikoa’s MFTs attacked him, delivering a brutal beating. Jimmy USO arrived with a chair to make the save and cleared most attackers, but Talla Tonga shrugged off Jimmy, allowing his allies to recover. This moment allowed Jacob Fatu to catch his breath, and after a nod to Rikishi aimed at Solo Sikoa, Fatu picked up the chair and hit a Horsecollar on Sikoa’s neck—only to be met by a devastating lariat from Talla Tonga that took him down.
- Zelina Vega confronts Giulia backstage, but before anything else happens, Kiana James steps in and presents herself as Giulia’s official representative. She tells Zelina that if she wants to speak with Giulia, she needs to go through her. Zelina dismisses Kiana, who then informs her that she has already spoken to Nick Aldis and secured Zelina a title rematch next week. Kiana adds that after that, Zelina can stay out of Giulia’s business for good.
- After the main event tag team championship match concluded, chaos erupted as Fraxiom and Motor City Machine Guns entered the fray. Erick Rowan cleared the way but was quickly met by the Street Profits, with Montez Ford delivering an enzuigiri and Angelo Dawkins following up with a pounce. #DIY then appeared with Nick Aldis, who unleashed a tope con giro into the crowded ring, followed by Montez Ford performing a similar high-flying move over the ring post, escalating the pile-up of wrestlers. Security and referees swarmed the ring as Aldis grabbed a microphone to announce that due to the ongoing chaos, the tag titles will be suspended above the ring at SummerSlam for a Tables, Ladders, and Chairs match featuring Wyatt Sicks, DIY, Fraxiom, Andrade and Rey Fenix, Street Profits, and Motor City Machine Guns. The intense brawl continued as the show went off the air.
