• After Dominik Mysterio screwed Rhea Ripley and Finn Balor screwed Damian Priest at SummerSlam, World Tag Team Champion JD McDonagh hinted that he has left Judgment Day.
He took to Instagram to post photos of him tearing The Judgment Day T-Shirt and wrote:
“Never liked this shirt anyway.”
• WWE SummerSlam 2024 introduced a new feature called the “Ref Cam,” which offered a unique perspective by providing a feed from the referee’s shirt. However, the results were mixed, as the footage wasn’t always clear or well-timed for key moments.
During the CM Punk vs. Drew McIntyre match, Special Guest Referee Seth Rollins was seen removing and discarding the referee camera.
According to Fightful Select, the battery pack for the Ref Cam fell off during the match, prompting Rollins to remove it. There was no backlash against Rollins, as technical issues with the Ref Cam were expected.
“Told that the battery pack fell off of the ref cam during McIntyre vs Punk and Rollins made the decision to take the camera off.
No heat on Seth, as it was seen as a possibility beforehand.”
