Below are some post-SummerSlam updates, involving Roman Reigns, Cody Rhodes, CM Punk, Triple H, Stephanie McMahon & more.
• During the post-show, Triple H gave the following update on his wife, Stephanie McMahon:
“She does not have an official role (in WWE) right now, but I can tell you this, she loves this, she absolutely loves it. Sometimes it’s harder for her to love it, and sometimes it’s easier. It’s easy for her to love it again for her. She’s enjoying watching it, you know she’s enjoying coming to shows, she’s enjoying seeing everyone in the back, she loves it. So, if I’m the little kid booking, she’s sitting there right next to me enjoying it and loving it. She’s been in it her whole life. She is staying at home and watching our kids grow too old too fast. We’ll see what the future holds.”
WATCH: Stephanie McMahon Forcefully Kissed:
• Roman Reigns finally returned to WWE programming at SummerSlam 2024 and laid out Solo Sikoa, thus helping Cody Rhodes retain the Undisputed WWE Championship in the Bloodline Rules Match.
During the post-show press conference, Cody said he’s happy for the fans that Roman is back because they were asking for The Tribal Chief to come back for so long.
Rhodes then said a title rematch against Reigns must happen:
“Roman Reigns, certainly, he’s entitled to a rematch, because he held the title for so long. That match, it has to happen.”
• CM Punk had his first televised singles match in WWE in over 10 years tonight at SummerSlam 2024.
However, he wasn’t victorious. After special guest referee Seth Rollins was accidentally knocked out, Drew McIntyre low-blowed Punk and hit a Claymore Kick for the win.
Punk reunited with Stephanie McMahon after the match. This wasn’t shown on camera. You can watch the fan footage of this below:
