Opening Match – Women’s World Title Battle:

Rhea Ripley and Liv Morgan went head-to-head for the World Title, with Dom by Liv’s side. Rhea hasn’t lost in 26 months, but Liv kept playing games by getting in and out of the ring. When Liv attempted a dive through the ropes, Dom pushed Rhea out of the way, and it looked like Rhea’s shoulder popped out. The match was intense, with both women giving it their all. Liv focused on Rhea’s shoulder, but Rhea fought back. Dom interfered, preventing Rhea from using a chair, and he helped Liv keep the title. The drama didn’t end there. Dom helped Liv to her feet, kissed her, and they left together, leaving Rhea in the ring. This opens the door for Jey Uso?

Match 2 – Intercontinental Championship Clash:

Sami Zayn and Braun Brekker faced off for the Intercontinental Championship. Braun had strength and speed, but the question was whether his lack of experience at a major event would affect him. I predicted that this match would go either way, and I was right. Braun Brekker emerged victorious, winning his first of many WWE titles. Braun has everything going for him – speed, strength, and heart. The match was short but filled with intense moments.

Match 3: United States Championship

L.A. Knight and Logan Paul are finally going toe-to-toe for the US title. The WWE Universe will lose its mind if Knight doesn’t win this thing. Paul’s been holding onto the belt for over 200 days but has only defended it twice. These two are already going at it, and the bell hasn’t even rung yet. Finally, the bell rings, and the match officially begins. (If you couldn’t tell from my previous blogs, I can’t stand Paul and wish he’d just disappear.) Knight is not holding back. We all knew the brass knuckles would come into play at some point. And boom, there they are. Cole’s yelling at Knight to be careful with those things. In the end, L.A. Knight pulled off the win and is the brand new United States Champion. Congrats to him!

Match 4: Women’s WWE Championship

So, Bayley’s puttin’ her title on the line against the winner of the Queen of the Ring, Nia Jax. (I’ve got a hunch Tiffany Stratton will show up somewhere.) This match is gonna be brutal. Nia’s got speed and strength, while Bayley’s got speed but not the strength to match Nia. Nia’s a bully who doesn’t care if she hurts her opponent to get what she wants.

The match started off kinda slow, but both of ’em got a chance to show off their skills. But Nia kept overpowering Bayley every time she tried to get some momentum. And then it turned into a triple threat when Bayley knocked Tiffany off the ropes.

In the end, it was Nia who finally got the win. But it was all thanks to Tiffany’s distraction that helped Nia win the title.

Match 5: CM Punk versus Drew McIntyre

So, CM Punk and Drew McIntyre are facing off in this match, and guess who’s the guest ref? It’s Seth Rollins! And get this, he’s even wearing a Ref Cam. This match is gonna be crazy intense, like an all-out war.

Seth’s gonna have his hands full with these two, but I don’t think this feud is gonna end today. I mean, Survivor Series is coming up at the end of November, so I’m betting on another match between them then.

Punk hasn’t been in the ring since Drew injured him at the Royal Rumble. And Seth is just letting them go at it, way past the 10-count. In a way, it’s cool to see them go wild, but at some point, you gotta get them back in the ring, right?

This match was anything but by the book. In the end, Punk self-destructed, and Drew took the win. I guess you can call it payback for Clash at the Castle.

Match 6: Men’s World Heavy Weight Title

Gunther’s gonna face off against the champ, Damien Priest. Listen, I ain’t been a fan of Damien as a heel, but he’s playing the part well. Word on the street is that he might turn babyface soon. I think he’s got his work cut out for him, but we’ll see. I hope Finn doesn’t mess anything up, but if he does and costs Damien the match, I can totally see Damien and Rhea getting together to get revenge.

Finally, a solid match! These two are evenly matched in terms of power. I’m glad to see Gunther finally getting a challenge from someone who can go toe-to-toe with him. Finn’s out there trying to rally Damien. Gunther’s good, I’ll give him that. He put his hands on Finn, but that’s what Damien needed to see.

OMG, Finn just screwed Damien over! He helped Gunther with the count. (Damien just saw the replay) Finn just screwed Damien, helping Gunther win the World Heavy Weight Title. (Judgement Day just blew up!

Attendance tonight – 57,791 which is a new Summerslam attendance record

Match 7: Undisputed WWE Championship Title

Cody Rhodes is about to throw down with Solo Sokia in a Bloodline Rules match. This opens the door for Roman and Paul to make a comeback. But will Kevin Owens and Randy Orton come back to help Cody? (The Smackdown tag titles were won by Bloodline on Friday. Are they trying to do the same thing again and take all the gold to control Smackdown?)

Cody just saw Arn Anderson and stopped to chat with him for some last-minute advice. Arn told Cody that he made some calls, and he’s not going into this battle alone. The match was going well until Solo got some help, but here comes Kevin Owens! Randy’s music just hit, and he’s on his way to the ring too. But wait, who’s this? Jacob Fatu has shown up and is taking it to Cody. Cole, Pat, and Corey are trying to run away. Jacob is hurt after putting Cody through a table.

Holy moly! Roman’s music just hit, and he’s on his way to the ring. Roman took out Solo, making sure that Cody went on to win the match. I don’t want to give away too much, but Roman was wearing a T-shirt with three letters on it: O.T.C. (Original Tribal Chief).

**SHOW SUMMARY

I’ll make sure to remember the text you provided. Here’s a clearer version of the text with corrected spelling, grammar, and punctuation:

There were some unexpected twists to the storyline. I was hoping that Rhea would defeat Liv to reclaim her title, but when Dirty Dom, true to his name, turned on Rhea to help Liv win, it became clear that Rhea meant nothing to him.

The United States title change was much needed. Logan Paul deserves credit for learning the basics well, but he is not a WWE Superstar. Now the title is in good hands and will be defended as it should be.

I had heard rumours that the men’s world title would change hands, but I never expected Finn to turn on Damien, signalling the end of Judgement Day.

Roman returned today, without Jey or Paul Heyman, but I think they will join him in time. Roman seemed okay with Cody winning, but his focus is on Solo. He’s coming for Solo.
