• Roman Reigns was absent from WWE programming since losing the WWE Championship to Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 40, but he made a surprising comeback at the end of SummerSlam. Meanwhile, Damian Priest also had a notable match for the World Title at SummerSlam, which ended in a major betrayal, revealing the current internal status of both WWE Superstars.
At SummerSlam, Gunther faced Damian Priest for the World Heavyweight Championship. Finn Balor’s interference ultimately led to Priest’s defeat, crowning Gunther as the new top champion of the red brand.
To conclude the event, Roman Reigns returned and attacked Solo Sikoa, allowing Cody Rhodes to decisively retain his Undisputed WWE Championship.
According to PWInsider, following these events, WWE has now internally listed Roman Reigns and Damian Priest as babyfaces for SmackDown and RAW, respectively.
