Not content with his victory over Cody Rhodes last night (even though Randy Orton helped) CM Punk called out Oba Femi on the SummerSlam post-show.

Speaking of the post-show, Triple H confirmed Brie Bella suffered a shoulder injury at the PLE.

And to the surprise of no one who heard out podcast the Bella Twins turned on Paige.

ICYMI Oba Femi defeated Brock Lesnar in Hell in a Cell at the show, with Brock Lesnar giving him a hug afterward and saying he is “the past” and Femi is “the future.

Dave Meltzer provides more context over why Jacques Rougeau’s video was rejected by AEW: “Number one, there was AI content in the video, and Tony Khan is against AI content. So that’s one. Number two, it was too long. Number three, they did not have musical rights to the music that he had in the video. And number four, there was issue with some of the footage, in particular the footage of Jacques pinning Hulk Hogan, because that was a WCW show, which means that WWE owned the rights to it, which means they couldn’t show it. Every one of those issues was a no. Even if there’s even one of them, I mean, they absolutely could not have put the Hulk Hogan pin. They absolutely could not have put that on. They knew they would get sued by WWE.” (WO)

Adam Copeland will be on Maple Leaf Pro Mayhem (their TV show) this week.
