00:00MJF shoots hard on Vince McMahon! Is Jacob Fatu really injured?

00:04The last WWE SummerSlam as you know it, and more. I'm Oli Davis, and this is the WrestleTalk

00:11News.

00:15WWE SummerSlam took place over the weekend, which didn't just see championships change

00:19hands and storylines reach crescendos. It also had a number of celebrities in attendance.

00:25Like Cleveland rapper Machine Gun Kelly, who accompanied Logan Paul down to the ring. Or

00:29Grammy nominee Jelly Roll, who actually got physical hitting a Five Knuckle Shuffle on

00:34Austin Theory. But we can now confirm an even bigger star

00:37was in the stadium. Huck Tooey girl spit on that thing, who shared

00:42a clip of herself in the crowd watching Liv Morgan and Rhea Ripley.

00:45Fittingly though, for a wrestling show, the biggest cameo was a wrestler.

00:49The returning Roman Reigns now an uber babyface who received one of the loudest pops in recent

00:55Coming out to beat up Solo Sakoa and help Cody Rhodes retain his WWE Championship.

01:00The rest of the Bloodline had already been picked off throughout the match, including

01:04Jacob Fatu, who started selling his leg after doing the top rope dive for the outside onto

01:08Rhodes through the announcers table. Fatu was reportedly helped to the back, and

01:13many were concerned over whether the Bloodline's next breakout star had suffered a legitimate

01:18injury. And we still don't currently know.

01:20Triple H said in the post-SummerSlam press conference, unfortunately, Jacob Fatu got

01:24a little bit banged up in that last match. Hopefully nothing serious, but it was bugging

01:28Fatu a little bit, the leg, so we'll see where he is.

01:31Then he was seen wearing a walking boot in a video posted to the Haroon Twins' Instagram

01:35following the show. And AEW World Champion Swerve Strickland,

01:39who would've worked with Fatu in MLW, posted, Heard the news. Heel up, Jacob. Praying hands

01:45emoji. Double heart emoji. Which does hint that Fatu's injury is

01:49legitimate, as AEW wouldn't want their World Champion helping further a storyline in their

01:54rival company. There is still a possibility, though, that

01:57this is all a good old fashioned Worky McWorkface. Fightful Select is reporting that Fatu was

02:02always supposed to sell his leg following the splash in the main event. This was so

02:06he wasn't around when Roman made his return, and that first confrontation between them

02:10can be held off for another time. However, Fightful don't know if Jacob was

02:14told to sell the ankle to the extent he did, walking boot and Swerve Strickland well wish

02:19So Jacob might've actually work-sold himself into a Shoot Injury Brother Much Love HH Kiss.

02:25Now it's time for a weather update in Hell. It's cold.

02:30Stephanie McMahon was shown at ringside at SummerSlam, and following CM Punk's loss

02:34to Drew McIntyre, he walked over to her and gave her a big embrace.

02:38He's come a long way from calling her and her husband Triple H Vince's daughter, and

02:42he's due for son-in-law. With Stephanie being seen here at ringside,

02:46and her opening up WrestleMania 40 back in April, Paul Levesque was asked about Stephanie's

02:50relationship with WWE right now. She does not have an official role right

02:55now, but I can tell you this, she loves this. Absolutely loves it. Sometimes it's harder

03:00to love it, and sometimes easy to love it. It's easy to love it again for her. She's

03:05enjoying watching it. She's enjoying coming to the show. She's enjoying seeing everybody

03:10in the back. She loves it. If I'm the little kid booking or writing, however you want to

03:14say it, sitting on his couch, she's sitting there, right next to me, a little kid, enjoying

03:20it and loving it. Stephanie hasn't held an official role

03:23in WWE since Vince effectively ousted her in January 2023 during his aggressive takeover

03:29of the board. Please, if any of you happen to see Stephanie and Tony Khan having a meeting

03:33somewhere, do send us a photo. Speaking of, what did people backstage in

03:37WWE have to say about Stephanie's brother Shane this weekend?

03:41Fightful is reporting that a lot of the talent in WWE were talking about Shane's meeting

03:45with Tony Khan, with most believing Shane will end up at least making an appearance

03:50there. Tony might want to have a word with a few of these roster members to make that

03:53happen then, as MJF just shot hard on Shane's dad Vince McMahon.

03:58MJF is set to face Karl Fletcher on Wednesday's episode of Dynamite, as part of his larger

04:03feud with Will Ospreay over the International Championship. To build Wednesday's match,

04:07he told Fletcher on Twitter, cut your hair, you look like Machine Gun Kelly and Ellen

04:11DeGeneres' dumpster baby. Because this was on Twitter, somebody managed

04:15to turn it into a tribalistic debate about AEW vs WWE, replying,

04:19Vinnie Mac would never allow his top guy to say something like this.

04:23Praising Vince McMahon is a bold move right now. So MJF went straight for the nuclear

04:27option, referencing the sexual assault allegations in Janelle Grant's lawsuit against McMahon.

04:32You're right, he'd ask me to f*** his secretary in front of him while he s***s on

04:36her head. Get lost, bot.

04:37MJF wasn't the only wrestler firing shots on Twitter, as Liv Morgan and Dominic Mysterio

04:42have posted about their betrayal of Rhea Ripley at Summerslam, with Liv tweeting,

04:46Everything you love is mine Rhea Ripley. Liv Morgan revenge tour heart emoji flame emoji.

04:52And Dominic himself giving his first explanation of why he did what he did, tweeting,

04:57She gets me. Thank you Liv Morgan. Smiling with tongue out emoji with a photo

05:02of him and a plate of chicken tenders.

05:04Kirk Strickland wasn't the only AEW guy posting about WWE angles, as Rhea's real

05:09life husband, AEW wrestler Buddy Matthews, also tweeted,

05:12Tony Khan can I help mammy real quick? And rounding out the Judgment Day betrayal

05:16tweets, Finn Balor, who turned on Damian Priest in the World Heavyweight Championship match,

05:21evilly posted, I WOKE UP IN A GOOD MOOD.

05:24Another cameo at Summerslam saw wrestling legend, Glock enthusiast and Cody Rhodes'

05:28manager from AEW, Arn Anderson, make his first appearance in WWE since 2019, where

05:34he was released from his backstage agent role when he reportedly let Alicia Fox wrestle

05:39while intoxicated. He signed with AEW several months later, where he was until May, when

05:43his contract expired. Arn told Cody in his pre-main event pep talk

05:47that Cody still has a couple of friends who are on the way, where he was talking about

05:52Kevin Owens and Randy Orton, not Kenny Omega and the Young Bucks as I momentarily got carried

05:56away with. Cody said on the post-show press conference

05:59that Arn is a huge part of his story, where he's been an onscreen surrogate for his

06:03passed away father Dusty. Cody teased that he could be coming in for a more permanent

06:07onscreen role in WWE as his manager. Back to Arn, I hope we see more of him. And I hope

06:13he's next to me. Summerslam 2026 has already been announced

06:17as a two night event, taking place in Minneapolis. Widely suspected to be because WWE moved WrestleMania

06:2241 from there to the much warmer in April Las Vegas following Mania 40's Philadelphia

06:27setting being a bit too cold a point in the open air stadium.

06:31But on the post-show, Triple H said that the two night format will likely start from next

06:35year's show, as he thinks this is the last Summerslam that you see that is one night.

06:41Leveque noted how this weekend's show ran almost four hours with a seven match card,

06:46when there were a lot more matches he wanted to put on, potentially like the tag team title

06:50change on Friday's SmackDown and the Wyatt Sixx's in-ring debut on Raw Tonight. Summerslam

06:552025 currently doesn't have a date or location announced.

06:59The series finale of the biography WWE Legends series aired on A&E on Sunday, which profiled

07:05Becky Lynch, whose WWE contract expired on the 1st June. And following the show, Becky

07:10posted on Instagram. It's been a helluva career. Being the man

07:13for all of you was an honour. Being the mum for her is a privilege.

07:17Thanks for watching my bio on AETV. Yes, you're not the only one. I also thought

07:22she tagged AEW for a moment there too. Becky hasn't been on TV since she lost to

07:26Liv Morgan in a steel cage on Raw, where she posted to be continued and a photo of her

07:31walking out the arena. The Wrestling Observer has previously reported

07:34Becky is taking an extended leave, and PWTorch's sources believe she will eventually return

07:40to WWE. Meanwhile, WWE has also confirmed it will

07:43be overhauling its main roster commentary teams next month.

07:47On the lengthy SummerSlam pre-show, Michael Cole revealed veteran sports commentator Joe

07:51Tessitore will be joining the Raw announce team from 2nd September, while Cole will move

07:56to SmackDown from September 13th. Tessitore will continue to work on ESPN and

08:01ABC, where he's covered football and boxing for over two decades.

08:04There's no official word yet on the status of Pat McAfee, who will be reprising his role

08:09on ESPN's College GameDay show also from September. The last time he did that, he stopped

08:14doing commentary for WWE, so perhaps Tessitore will be getting a new colour commentator to

08:19join him. Now go watch Luke's full review of WWE SummerSlam

08:23and that Roman Reigns return by clicking the video on the left.
