2025 WWE Summer Slam N.1: Rollins Makes Ruse of Century
Rana Atef
The first night of WWE SummerSlam delivered funny moments and a historical twist.
The night was kicked off by Roman Reigns and Jey Uso against Bronson Reed and Bron Breakker.
A BLOODLINE REUNITED.

The match was a physical spectacle, with each team looking to establish dominance. However, Reigns and Uso did a nice harmonious job to get the win.
THIS camera for Roman Reigns entrance, holy shit. 🔥

There were a few nice spots by the four superstars; however, there was a lack of storytelling.
I don't care Jey Uso doing his entrance mid match is such a beast bit😭😭😭😭

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.
Kinda cool seeing

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.

On the other hand, AEW fans celebrated the victory of Rollins over Punk due to the incidents he had before departing the promotion and returning to WWE.
