There were a few nice spots by the four superstars; however, there was a lack of storytelling.

After that, there was another tag team match, but this time it was a women's match. Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair continued their enjoyable teamwork and defeated Roxanne Perez and Raquel Rodriguez to become the new WWE Women's Tag Team Champions.
Alexa Bliss has now held the women's tag title with three different partners!

Next came the first single men's match in the card. Sami Zayn faced Karrion Cross in their third match. The game was good but short, and the ending of the match raised a lot of questions about Kross' future in WWE.
Karrion Kross and Scarlett finally get their moment!

The Women's Championship match was another good but short contest, as Tiffany Stratton faced off against the undefeated powerhouse Jade Cargill. The two women fought tooth-and-nail, with both showing their athleticism and grit.

After that came one of the worst matches ever in the history of Summer Slam, the tag team match between Jelly Roll and Randy Orton against Logan Paul and Drew McIntyre. Paul carried the majority of the game's hard work and risky spots.
Fair fucks to Jelly. Dude took it like a champ.

I think it's time people stop considering Logan Paul a "celebrity wrestler."
He has proved, every time he's stepped in the ring, that he is a full-blown professional wrestler.

Finally, the night was main evented by the historic clash for the World Heavyweight Championship between the reigning champion, Gunther, and the challenger, CM Punk. The storytelling of the match and the performance of Punk were the core of a long night debate between fans.
IT'S CLOBBERIN TIME

CM Punk pulled off the unexpected and defeated Gunther to become the new World Heavyweight Champion. The match was strong and more into pro wrestling technqiues.
CM Punk vs GUNTHER was an absolutely phenomenal main event that will go down as one of the best matches in the event's history.
Physically intense, superb pacing and tremendous storytelling leading to a brilliant closing stretch. Loved that match.

Just as CM Punk celebrated his hard-fought victory, the arena was hit by a shocking turn of events. Seth Rollins, the architect, the visionary, and 2025 Mr. Money in the Bank, made his way down to the ring, carrying his Money in the Bank briefcase. With the crowd buzzing, Rollins showed no hesitation and cashed in his contract.
The stealthy heist was reminiscent of Rollins' infamous Money in the Bank cash-in from 10 years ago, and once again, he pulled off a brilliant move.
Rollins swiftly pinned CM Punk after a series of high-impact maneuvers to become the new World Heavyweight Champion.
The audience was stunned, as Rollins stole the title right from under Punk's nose in a move that many are already calling the "Ruse of the century." They recalled Rollins' 2015 "Heist of the Century."
2015 - HEIST OF THE CENTURY
2025 - TWIST OF THE CENTURY
2025 - RUSE OF THE CENTURY
Seth Rollins runs this Shit. 🔥

Rollins' cashing in was the trend of the global wrestling scene, as this action was called back when Punk cashed his Money in the Bank briefcase against Jeff Hardy in 2009. Punk cashed the briefcase after a short-lived victory of Hardy with the World Heavyweight title.

More Details on Hulk Hogan's Death Revealed
Rana Atef On Friday, new medical reports revealed further details about the death of global wrestling legend and reality TV star Hulk Hogan, who passed away last week at the age of 71. According to documents reviewed by the Los Angeles Times, Hogan died from an acute myocardial infarction (heart attack). The Clearwater Police Department in Florida confirmed it had responded to a cardiac arrest call on the morning of July 24, after which Hogan was transported to the hospital, where he was later pronounced dead. The report also noted that Hogan had been suffering from atrial fibrillation as well as chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL)—a type of cancer that affects the blood and bone marrow. Authorities confirmed he had received formal approval for cremation. Hogan rose to superstardom in the 1980s after signing with WWE, becoming not just a wrestling icon but a pop culture phenomenon. His legacy extended to film and television, with notable appearances in The A-Team, Walker, Texas Ranger, and his hit reality series Hogan Knows Best. In later years, Hogan became a political figure, emerging as a vocal supporter of the US President Donald Trump. He delivered a headline-making speech at the 2024 Republican National Convention. Trump mourned the loss on his social media platform, writing: 'Today we lost a great friend... The Hulkster was strong, brave, and brilliant—but also had a big heart. His cultural impact will remain immense.' WWE, US Vice President J.D. Vance, and several veteran wrestlers also paid tribute. Hogan's children, Nick and Brooke, shared heartfelt messages. Nick called him 'the best father and friend in the world,' while Brooke wrote, 'My bond with my father never broke—even in his final moments. He believed meeting God would be the greatest championship of all.' read more Japan Stun Spain 2-1 to Qualify for World Cup Last 16 World Cup 2022: Get to Know Confirmed Line-ups of Japan and Spain Group E Decider Saudi Arabia Bid Farewell to World Cup after 2-1 Loss to Mexico Tunisia Achieve Historic Win over France but Fail to Qualify Tunisia to Clash against France in World Cup Sports Get to Know Squad of Group D Teams in World Cup Sports Al Ahly Gift EGP 70,000 to Players After Claiming Egyptian Super Cup Title Sports Bencharki Hits First 2 Goals with Al Jazira Since Leaving Zamalek Sports Arsenal Possible Line-up for Nottingham Forest News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Arts & Culture Lebanese Media: Fayrouz Collapses after Death of Ziad Rahbani Sports Get to Know 2025 WWE Evolution Results
