Brawl breaks out between fans during WWE SummerSlam in NJ
The chaos erupted early into Night 2 of the highly anticipated event at MetLife Stadium on Sunday, with at least six wrestling fans involved in the ringside melee, the now-viral video shows.
Video shows a woman in a black T-shirt appearing to try to grab and throw elbows at another woman in a white tank top, only to have another woman in a red shirt come up from behind her and yank her by the hair.

The fan in the black shirt then starts to throw a flurry of body blows at the woman in the red skirt, as her hair is still being pulled.
Behind them, a male fan was trying to hold the woman in the red skirt.
However, another man appeared from behind him and pulled him away.
The fight was brought to an end after multiple security guards donning orange shirts punched the brawlers and put a stop to the violence.
The woman in the red skirt is seen kicking at the male fan who had been pulling at her and furiously pointing at him as the clip comes to an end.
It remains unclear how the unscripted madness started.

Aside from WrestleMania, the two-night event held in East Rutherford, NJ, is WWE's largest show of the year — with the average ticket price for SummerSlam starting at over $400.
The two-night beatdown saw its share of action and drama in the ring.
Cordy Rhodes defeated legend John Cena to regain the Undisputed WWE Championship in an epic street fight that capped off an incredible weekend of wrestling in East Rutherford, marking the second title reign for Rhodes after he won the championship at WrestleMania 40.
After the shocking defeat, Cena stood in the center of the ring, when fans were treated to another twist.
Brock Lesnar's music hit for his stunning return after not appearing in the ring since SummerSlam in 2023 and delivered his F5 finisher to a stunned Cena to set up a match later this year during the 'Peacemaker' star's retirement run.
It was Lesnar's first WWE match since being named in the bombshell civil sexual lawsuit against Vince McMahon by ex-employee Janel Grant.
3 It remains unclear how the unscripted madness started.

Lesnar has been persona non grata around WWE since then, with his merchandise being removed from the WWE Shop and his playable character, along with McMahon's, being taken out of the WWE 2K24 video game.
Lesnar was rumored to be returning at the 2024 Royal Rumble, but the appearance was scrapped after the news of the lawsuit broke.
McMahon has denied the allegations against him. His attorney, Jessica Rosenberg, called Grant, naming Lesnar in the suit, a 'publicity stunt' in February.
Earlier in the night, WWE played a video montage on screens at MetLife Stadium honoring Hulk Hogan.
Hogan's 'Real American' theme song played at the end of the tribute, as his son, Nick Hogan, was brought to tears and placed his hands over his heart as fans cheered.
Hogan, whose real name was Terry Bollea, died on July 24 from a heart attack.

WWE Reportedly Changed Winner Of Major SummerSlam Match
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. The outcome of the massive celebrity tag team match at SummerSlam Night One was reportedly not the original plan. According to a new report, WWE made a last-minute change to the finish of the bout. The match saw Drew McIntyre and United States Champion Logan Paul team up to defeat the duo of Randy Orton and country music superstar Jelly Roll. The result was a surprise to many, as the original plan was for the babyface team to get the victory. A Last-Minute WWE SummerSlam Change A new report from Fightful Select ahead of SummerSlam stated that the planned finish "throughout much of the week" was for Randy Orton and Jelly Roll to win the match. However, at some point before bell time, the decision was made to have the heel team of McIntyre and Paul go over instead. The actual finish of the match saw Logan Paul hit his signature frog splash on Jelly Roll to score the pinfall victory. It is not known exactly when or why the creative decision was changed. The result was surprising to many fans due to WWE's long history of booking celebrities to win their debut matches. It is a long-standing creative trope to give the visiting celebrity a feel-good victory to generate positive mainstream press. This has been the case for stars like Lawrence Taylor at WrestleMania XI and, more recently, Bad Bunny at WrestleMania 37, both of whom were victorious in their first outing.

NEW YORK, NY - AUGUST 23: General atmosphere at the WWE SummerSlam 2015 at Barclays Center of Brooklyn on August 23, 2015 in New York City. The decision to have Jelly Roll take the pinfall loss is a significant break from that tradition. However, it also served to further establish Logan Paul, a celebrity in his own right, as a legitimate and credible WWE champion. A WWE Feud Built On Disrespect The entire feud was built around McIntyre and Paul's condescending attitude towards "outsiders" like Jelly Roll. They positioned themselves as protectors of the business against a celebrity who they felt had not earned his spot. The victory for the heel duo ultimately proved their point in the storyline. Despite the loss, Jelly Roll has been highly praised for his performance and his dedication. Previous reports have noted his intensive training at the WWE Performance Center and his incredible physical transformation. It has been reported that WWE is hopeful to have him back for more matches in 2026, so his story in a WWE ring is likely not over.

Fan-Favorite WWE Star Teases Return Of Supernatural Character
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Just one day after winning the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship at SummerSlam, Alexa Bliss is already teasing a potential return to her dark, supernatural roots. In a new interview, she also hinted at a sinister plan for her new tag team partner, Charlotte Flair. Bliss and Flair, the "Allies of Convenience," captured the titles on Night One of SummerSlam, defeating Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez. Now, Bliss's comments suggest their championship reign could be headed down a very strange and twisted path. A Return To The Dark Side For Alexa Bliss? Speaking to Sports Illustrated ahead of SummerSlam, Bliss was asked about revisiting the supernatural character she portrayed while aligned with "The Fiend" Bray Wyatt. She confirmed she is completely open to it. "A hundred percent," Bliss said. "One thing I've always said about my character is that it's always evolving." A Sinister Plan For Charlotte Flair The most intriguing part of her comments came when she discussed her current partnership with Flair. She hinted that she may have found a replacement for her demonic doll, Lilly.

LAS VEGAS, NEVADA - OCTOBER 11: A WWE logo is shown on a screen before a WWE news conference at T-Mobile Arena on October 11, 2019 in Las Vegas, Nevada. It was announced that WWE wrestler Braun Strowman will face heavyweight boxer Tyson Fury and WWE champion Brock Lesnar will take on former UFC heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez at the WWE's Crown Jewel event at Fahd International Stadium in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on October 31. More "Who knows, maybe Charlotte will become the next Lilly," Bliss stated. This is an ominous comment given the history between the two superstars. It suggests that Bliss may be looking to corrupt her new partner and draw her into the darkness. More news: WWE Superstar Announces Retirement Match A History Of Destruction From Alexa Bliss The original Lilly doll was a central part of Alexa Bliss's supernatural persona from 2020 to 2021. Bliss claimed the doll was the source of her power. Their bond came to a dramatic end at the Extreme Rules event in September 2021. After defeating Bliss in a championship match, Charlotte Flair brutally and methodically ripped the Lilly doll to shreds in the middle of the ring, leaving a distraught Bliss wailing over the remains. This moment was the storyline reason for Bliss's character being "reset" and losing her supernatural abilities. Her new comment makes it clear she has not forgotten what Flair did, adding a deeply personal and sinister layer to their current tag team. While Bliss is having "a lot of fun tagging with Charlotte," her underlying motives are now in question. She also noted that a future interaction with the Wyatt Sicks will "probably" happen, keeping fans guessing about her ultimate allegiance. More WWE News: For more on WWE, head to Newsweek Sports.

Nikki Garcia Reveals Breast Implant Got Pushed Down to Her Rib
Originally appeared on E! Online Nikki Garcia had a deflating experience during Monday Night Raw. The WWE star suffered a health scare after an eight-person wrestling match July 28 during which one of her breast implants shifted inside her, leaving her in "a little bit of pain." After sister Brie Garcia asked how she was doing during the August 1 episode of their podcast The Nikki & Brie Show and pointed out that Nikki's implant is "stuck in your ribs," she shared some insight into her injury. "I had to go to the doctor yesterday to get my tit looked at," the 41-year-old said. "I was just telling Brie, I'm having conversations with my shirt off and I'm thinking in my head, like, 'I didn't think I'd be here today on my day off in New York City getting my boobs looked at knowing that my implant has moved.'" Nikki—who shares 4-year-old son Matteo with ex-husband Artem Chigvintsev—added that "it's been hard to laugh and cough" since she sustained the injury after an elbow drop from competitor Piper Niven, but she isn't too worried about it.

"We're going to get it fixed one day. I told the doctor, I go, 'Newly divorced, so the minute the boots are hung up, I'm going to come back to you and we're going to make these girls look real good, because these girls are going to get some action in the future and that can't look like that.'" Bella also playfully pointed out that "there is a little bit of a physical difference now" between Nikki's breasts, but the Dancing With the Stars alum insisted that it's "not that bad of a difference." She continued, "They still look hot." After the reveal about Nikki's implant started to make headlines, the Total Bellas alum started to receive outreach from concerned family and friends. "I literally had told Brie all of this in private and when she said it live about my implant, I was like, 'Are you kidding me?'" she recalled on the August 4 episode of their podcast. "Then yesterday it was everywhere about my implant. I keep getting text messages, I was just backstage and everyone kept coming up, like, 'Is it okay?'" But after Bella insisted that "we're all wondering" if she'll be OK, Nikki shared that she's still waiting on an official answer. "I'll know later," she explained. "I don't know yet if it exploded or not. It still seems intact. It's swollen, it hurts, but I think it might be fine." Nikki added, "I can't believe I'm loudly talking about this, but hey, it's 2025, whatever. Send well wishes to my fake boob, thank you." Keep reading for more celebrity health scares...
