According to Deadline, The Recruit star Noah Centineo is locked and loaded for Millennium Media’s John Rambo origins film. The project hails from Sisu director Jalmari Helander, who directs from a script by Rory Haines and Sohrab Noshirvani. There are many details to iron out, but if all goes well, John Rambo could shoot in Thailand in the fall.

Plot details for John Rambo remain a mystery, but the film is likely to focus on the early military career of the legendary Vietnam War veteran made famous by Sylvester Stallone. John Rambo, created by David Morell in his novel First Blood, is one of the most iconic characters in U.S. cinematic history. The tough-as-nails role helped put Stallone on the map and pave the way for other titans of the action genre.

In the 1982 classic First Blood, John Rambo is a Green Beret forced by a corrupt sheriff...

Bron Breakker is on the cusp of taking his WWE career to the next level. It’s not every day someone gets the better of Roman Reigns and leaves him laying at the end of a Raw on Netflix. As the son of Rick Steiner and nephew of Scott Steiner, intensity and greatness from a family of Hall of Famers clearly runs through his veins. The football player turned pro wrestler has also been gaining valuable experience working with the likes of Paul Heyman and World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins. The emerging talent continues to turn heads with some of the most devastating spears. He even went viral after the one he delivered on popular YouTuber IShowSpeed at the Royal Rumble. Breakker came into WWE with athletic ability but has really gained confidence as a performer in recent months. That can arguably be attributed to the onscreen alliance collectively known...

Roman Reigns’ brief appearance in Prime Video’s The Pickup is winning over fans, and it slams harder than any car stunt from the Fast and Furious spinoff, Hobbs & Shaw. Reigns’ cameo appears at the end of the movie. The WWE star delivered a perfectly timed comedic cameo that feels more impactful than his big-screen turn alongside Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.

He plays an unnamed Mma fighter headlining a casino fight night. The scene is a key moment during the movie’s heist sequence, where Russel (Eddie Murphy), Travis (Pete Davidson), and Zoe (Keke Palmer) are trying to rob the casino. Zoe tricks him into thinking his opponent had insulted him. Then he storms off and clears the way for the crew.

The scene is meant to poke fun at the wrestling culture, where the wrestlers usually fight to exaggerate the drama. That’s exactly what makes the sports entertaining,...

Roman Reigns has a net worth of $14 million, per Sports Illustrated. This includes his WWE salary, brand endorsements, and merchandise sales. However, a substantial portion of it also comes from the upcoming movie projects that he is a part of.

Reigns, whose Quentin-Tarantino-style strategy for upcoming movie projects has become a major talking point, is poised to appear in projects where fans get a glimpse of the other side of his persona. In light of his growing acting career, here are the upcoming projects on the big screen with his presence.

Roman Reigns is making significant progress in Hollywood with several well-known and varied projects that showcase his growing popularity outside of the wrestling industry.

The former Universal Champion was recently featured in Tim Story’s heist action-comedy, The Pickup, which stars Eddie Murphy, Keke Palmer,...

LA Knight’s theme song is a rare gem in the WWE. It ticks all boxes in terms of being stylish, has the perfect beat, and packs a memorable punch that few other entrance themes in WWE can match right now. His theme song has provided the Megastar with the right kind of attention during entrances and promo appearances. The crowd knows whenever he arrives in the ring that something big is coming up, and they are rarely wrong.

His theme song carries an important message. It symbolizes that LA Knight is here, and he is going to dominate the helm of affairs in the WWE for a while. A future star of the WWE, with a Shazam-like look and qualities, is in the making. He is destined to be at the center stage for a long time to come.

How is LA Knight’s Theme Song Different From...

Is WrestleMania going to Saudi Arabia? According to exclusive reports from the Wrestling Observer Newsletter (via The Takedown), a potential move might be taken by WWE where the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia will be getting its own WrestleMania from 2027. Thus, staging the same PPV twice a year, once in the United States and the other in Saudi Arabia. The report said,

It’s been well known that Saudi Arabia has been pushing for a WrestleMania for years now, and history shows that they are willing to pay a giant fee to get it. This could also turn into a ‘Super WrestleMania’ situation, akin to the Greatest Royal Rumble, by having two WrestleManias in 2027 instead of one.

The report further emphasized another key event from the possible PPV, where the country is pushing Dwayne Johnson to headline the show. The idea of The Showcase of the Immortals being held twice a...

Last week’s episode of Raw had it all — a wild burn from Becky Lynch to Nikki Bella, Penta rocking Xavier Woods’ giant hat, and a monumental main event as LA Knight faced Seth Rollins for the World Heavyweight Championship. It seemed like Knight’s best shot, as Rollins had no assistance from his squad after Raw General Manager Adam Pearce barred Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed from ringside.

But it was Cm Punk who came from out of nowhere to attack his longtime nemesis Rollins, resulting in Knight being disqualified and ultimately opening the door for Breakker and Reed to pop up and attack Knight and Punk.

Roman Reigns arrived at the ring to assist Knight and Punk, but was ultimately overpowered by Rollins, Reed, Breakker — at the end of the night, it was the latter three, Paul Heyman’s coalition The Vision, who where left standing.

Roman Reigns is Hollywood-bound, and he has adopted the Quentin Tarantino strategy that will make him the next Dwayne Johnson. During an exclusive interview with Vanity Fair, The Tribal Chief spilled the beans on how he decided to be extremely selective about his films, similar to Tarantino, keeping his calendar open for other ventures.

While talking to the media outlet, Reigns shared that his WWE contract is nearing its end, and he thinks that it’s time to take on a less physically intense form of entertainment. Thus, hinting at transitioning to the film industry and doing roles that intrigue him. He said,

After I finish the contract that I’m in, we probably got another year or two max. Then it’s time to take on a less physical form of entertainment. I almost want to model it after Tarantino, where we’re not just doing anything and everything.

After losing to Cody Rhodes at SummerSlam 2025, John Cena was seen whispering something to the American Nightmare, which made him emotional. Cena was asked about those words during an interaction with Adam’s Apple. Choosing discretion, the Cenation leader made it clear that the conversation that took place between them at MetLife Stadium would remain a secret.

Several factors could have contributed to the fact that the 17-time World Champion decided to keep it a secret between him and Rhodes. However, no one denies the fact that emotions were running high for both WWE superstars following a historic clash between them.

WWE has shaken the wrestling community once again, as it has reached an agreement for a billion-dollar deal with ESPN. The agreement has led to some major confusion among the domestic fans, who believe that paying $30 for only PPVs is too hefty a price. However, all their worries will come to an end, as not everyone is bound to pay the massive fee of $30 per month to watch their favorite WWE PLEs.

Following the confusion, CNBC’s Alex Sherman took to X, where he clarified the misleading information around the rise in price for the monthly premium live events by World Wrestling Entertainment. He wrote,

To answer a question I’ve now received several times — there will be no up charge on the WWE PLEs from ESPN. You’ll get them all with your $29.99 per month subscription, I’m told. And cable subs will automatically get the ESPN d-to-c product thru authentication.

The match between John Cena and Cody Rhodes at SummerSlam 2025 was a hot topic, featuring a spectacle of a street fight, marked by Brock Lesnar’s return. However, fans were visibly upset with how poorly the entire match was booked, making the challenger destined to win the Undisputed WWE Championship. Worse than that, Rhodes made the Goat’s finisher look like a joke.

During the match, Cena executed a total of 8 Attitude Adjustments to Cody Rhodes, including one on the announcer’s table, on the ramp, and an Avalanche AA, but to everyone’s surprise, he kicked out. The whole match looked like a joke because this is the same move that has defeated the likes of Aj Styles, Randy Orton, Dwayne Johnson, Big Show, and many more.

What made it frustrating was that the move not only lost its essence, but also how a double Cross Rhodes was enough to put away the champ.

Did the Emmys snub a major performance ahead of their awards ceremony? Well, according to Paul Heyman, they did, by refusing to acknowledge Roman Reigns’ Tribal Chief persona! Despite being The Oracle for Seth Rollins, Heyman could not help but sing praises of the Otc.

Appearing on The Ariel Helwani Show, Paul Heyman acknowledged Reigns as the “most transformative performer” that he has worked with in his entire career, recalling how his contribution has transcended the wrestling business and made him the “most ruthless character on television.” He said,

Joe Anoa’i’s portrayal of the tribal chief, Roman Reigns, was the most compelling villain on television and the most ruthless character I’ve seen to this day. Um, and the fact, and we’ve discussed this before, that the Emmy Awards do not recognize these performances is a blight upon the Emmy Awards. They should be ashamed of themselves for...

John Cena has yet to win one prestigious title in the WWE, the Intercontinental Championship. And since he missed out on this recognition, he is one of the few WWE longtimers to not have a Grand Slam in his career. After winning his record 17th Championship title at WrestleMania 41 this year, Cena would love to add a Grand Slam title to the mix as well.

In WWE, the Grand Slam Championship is an honor bestowed upon wrestlers who have won at least four certain titles in their career. Interestingly, a wrestler must have achieved the Triple Crown Championship by winning three titles to achieve the Grand Slam with the fourth one. However, only winning the WWE Championship would earn you the Triple Crown title.

So, what does he need to become a Grand Slam Champion? According to the modern rules, a WWE wrestler should have held the following titles to...

Prime Video’s The Pickup (2025), directed by Tim Story, puts a fresh spin on the buddy heist comedy formula with a vibrant ensemble and no shortage of surprises. The film centers on two armored truck drivers whose delivery spirals into chaos after a daring ambush by a crew of ruthless—and unexpectedly familiar—criminals. Here’s an in-depth look at the cast and the roles they bring to life.

‘The Pickup’: Complete Cast & Characters Guide 1. Eddie Murphy as Russell Pierce

Russell is a veteran armored truck driver who’s spent decades playing it safe for his wife, Natalie. All he wants is to complete his last shift and celebrate their 25th anniversary, but he’s drawn back into action when his route turns dangerous. Murphy’s signature blend of curmudgeonly humor and world-weary wisdom keeps the team grounded amid escalating tensions. Fans know Murphy from classics like Beverly Hills Cop,...

Just a couple of hours ago, WWE dropped the news of a new collaboration deal struck with the sports broadcast giant ESPN. This will give them the rights to broadcast all major PLEs that WWE will schedule, starting with WrestleMania 42 from 2026.

As stated in the ESPN official press release, WWE will produce the events for all ESPN platforms, serving as exclusive U.S. distributors, while Netflix will still retain the rights to broadcast the collective product internationally. The deal is reported to be worth a whopping $1.6 billion for 5 years starting 2026.

Following the news, stars like John Cena and Triple H took to their socials and talked about this deal in more detail, while Roman Reigns and PatMcAfee also had words to share.

Hulk Hogan’s daughter, Brooke Hogan, recently shattered all our beliefs and debunked all the fan theories about her father’s s*x tape, talking to none other than the man accused of leaking the tape, Bubba the Love Sponge. All these years, we believed that it was Bubba who leaked the tape, but in reality, he had nothing to do with the mishap, and the Hulkster knew that.

However, Hulk Hogan still decided to sue his former best friend and vilify him in front of the world. But it was Brooke Hogan who finally revealed the truth after all these years to Bubba on his podcast.

I wanna tell you that I was down at my dad’s gym with him back when they set up the sting operation at the Sand Pearl, and he and David Houston got wired up because somebody’s gonna try to extort them for the tape,...

Spoiler Alert !!!This article contains major spoilers for 'The Pickup'.

The Pickup on Prime Video is officially here! The heist comedy starring Eddie Murphy, Pete Davidson, Eva Longoria, and Keke Palmer is a wild ride full of twists and turns (literally). The film features Russell (Murphy) and Travis (Davidson), an unlikely armored truck guard/driver duo, who set out on a long shift.

Not too long into their journey, they get hijacked by Zoe, a robber who’s on a mission to rob $60 million from an Atlantic City casino called The Sorrento. The two guards are coerced into the heist by Zoe when she loses her original partners. What follows is a delightful blend of a masterful revenge plan/heist with ample comedic chops in tow.

FandomWire’s The Pickup review positions the film as a “clever and funny heist comedy”. Let’s get into all the dirty details of the heist,...

After John Cena went ahead and became Peacemaker in the Dcu, fans have been wondering which other superstars from the WWE roster can take on a high-profile role in a comic book cinematic universe. While Cena has his Dcu part, what stars should be in what roles in the MCU is a big question.

Therefore, here are the top 5 stars from WWE that will look good as certain characters, from Roman Reigns as Namor to Jade Cargill as Storm; these stars can do wonders in the Marvel Studios franchise if given the chance.

Roman Reigns: Namor

While he may be playing the role of Akuma in the upcoming Street Fighter film, Roman Reigns can also have a busy schedule after his run at WWE comes to an end if he plays Namor in the MCU.

Monday Night Raw at Brooklyn was as nerve-wrecking as it could’ve been. Several prominent WWE superstars clashed with one another after the show went off-air. This particularly involved Cm Punk, who interfered during the main event of the night against Seth Rollins and LA Knight with the World Heavyweight title on the line.

These behind-the-scenes incidents exposed the realities of storylines in the company. While Seth Rollins’s power-packed faction appears to be becoming a dominant force, the babyface faction WWE is trying to position against them simply lacks the synergy required to work as a team. The altercation after the show also points out how Triple H is overcrowding the contenders for the World Heavyweight title.

In light of this consequential development, let’s examine in detail the off-air happenings at the red roster.

Cm Punk, Roman Reigns, and LA Knight Implosion After the Main Event Seth Rollins...

Things took a crazy turn after WWE Raw’s latest episode went off air. If Bronson Reed, Bron Breakker and Seth Rollins destroying Roman Reigns wasn’t enough, Roman Reigns and Cm Punk went flying into berserker rage, hurling unparliamentary words at each other.

The latest episode of WWE Raw saw Roman Reigns, Cm Punk and LA Knight being dismantled by Seth Rollins and his villainous faction. If that wasn’t entertainment enough for the fans, Reigns, Punk and LA Knight all got into a heated exchange of words and barbs that was caught on camera by the WWE fans.

Night 1 of WWE’s first-ever two-night SummerSlam was a spectacle packed with drama, surprises, and a massive twist to close the show! Things kicked off with a high-energy opening segment, and from the jump, it was clear WWE wanted this to feel like a blockbuster event. The crowd was buzzing, and the stadium setting gave everything a larger-than-life feel. But the card itself didn’t always live up to that scale.

Tiffany Stratton vs. Jade Cargill for the Women’s Championship was a short but impactful bout. Stratton dominated more than expected, brushing off Cargill’s power offence and dispatching her in under 10 minutes. It was a definitive win, but arguably too decisive for what was billed as a marquee women’s match.

In tag team action, Randy Orton and Jelly Roll teamed up to face Logan Paul and Drew McIntyre. This was better than it had any right to be.

August 4th’s segment of Raw left Nikki Bella red-faced as she received the most personal insult that included John Cena, as she “can’t see him anymore.” Following the events of SummerSlam 2025, Becky Lynch was in high spirits following her victory against Lyra Valkyria, but Nikki Bella confronted her to express her disappointment towards her for ruining the women’s division.

The exchange started getting personal (via YouTube), where Nikki Bella retorted and called her a “liar just like her husband,” referring to the ruse that ruined Cm Punk’s moment. Lynch was not having it and called themselves “the greatest wrestling couple of all time.” It was then that The Irish Lass Kicker remarked that this spot would have been hers, but she needs to learn a lesson or two about relationships. She said,

Okay, do not talk about me and my hot husband. Me and my hot...

Much to the shock of the fans, as reports go, Roman Reigns might be away from WWE for a prolonged period. SummerSlam saw Seth Rollins dropping a surprise return and cashing in on his Money in the Bank contract and since then the fans have been losing it all over this segment. However, what unfurled on the latest episode of WWE Raw will hurt a few emotions as Roman Reigns, Cm Punk and LA Knight were being destroyed.

This is the second time in the year that Reigns will be off after a significant Ple. Following his defeat at WrestleMania 41, he appeared on the Raw after the Ple, only to be taken apart by Bronson Reed and Bron Breakker. As reported by Wrestling News, Roman Reigns has some serious Hollywood scheduling coming up for him.

John Cena walked out of SummerSlam 2025 with huge chants from fans, with the star even cutting his theme music to hear them cheer for him. Cena lost the championship title to Cody Rhodes and was later attacked by Brock Lesnar, who made a reentry into the ring after two years.

After his appearance at Rutherford, New Jersey, Cena had nine more appearances before his retirement. Cena announced his plans to retire from the WWE in July 2024 at the Money in the Bank event in Canada. While there is no official confirmation from the company, fans have made a good guess about the remaining matches for Cena.

According to Fightful Wrestling on X, WWE is bound to give some major event appearances for Cena in his final four matches.

On September 15, he will be making an appearance on Monday Night Raw held at Springfield, Maryland. In October, he will probably make...

Brock Lesnar just made his big return to WWE after being away for a while, and honestly, we can’t help but notice a pattern in his comebacks always seem to involve John Cena. Over the years, Lesnar’s dipped in and out of WWE, but every time he shows back up, somehow Cena’s right in the middle of it.

The latest example was at SummerSlam 2025, where Lesnar stormed back and went straight after Cena, sending the crowd into a frenzy. And the wild part? This isn’t even the first time something like this has gone down.

Brock Lesnar’s been coming and going from WWE for years now, but there’s always been one constant in his returns: John Cena. It’s almost like a tradition at this point.

The first Monday Night Raw after the epic two-night event, SummerSlam, at the MetLife Stadium. From Naomi successfully retaining her Women’s World Championship to Seth Rollins crashing Cm Punk’s greatest moment with his injury ruse, the aftermath of the PPV has far-reaching effects.

Tonight, the first segment of Raw live from Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, addresses all the doubts that fans had accumulated over the weekend. This piece contains the highlights for August 5, 2025, so let’s get straight to action.

“…a routine cash pickup turns into a deadly pursuit when two mismatched armored truck drivers…

Click the images to enlarge…...

In the final episode of Raw before SummerSlam, there was plenty of good old fashioned in-ring wrestling along with some eye-opening and jaw-dropping moments, from Dominik Mysterio receiving a Nintendo Switch 2 from Roxanne Perez to Roman Reigns getting speared by Bron Breakker, then having his shoes stolen right off his feet by Bronson Reed — an act of disrespect that added to tension ahead of SummerSlam, where Reed teamed with Breakker in a clash against Reigns and Jey Uso.

With SummerSlam 2025 in the books, revisit everything that happened over the epic weekend and prepare for the fallout on tonight’s episode of Raw.

Plot: A routine cash pickup takes a wild turn when two mismatched armored truck drivers, Russell and Travis, are ambushed by ruthless criminals led by a savvy mastermind, Zoe, with plans that go way beyond the cash cargo. As chaos unfolds around them, the unlikely duo must navigate high-risk danger, clashing personalities, and one very bad day that keeps getting worse.

Review: Twenty years ago, a film by director Tim Story and star Eddie Murphy would have been a slam dunk that would have debuted in thousands of movie theaters during the summer blockbuster season. With comedies, especially R-rated ones, not pulling in the exact box office numbers they used to, we find projects like The Pickup on streaming platforms like Prime Video. The Pickup has some solid star power with Murphy leading the cast opposite Pete Davidson, Keke Palmer, and Eva Longoria. Still, the heist comedy is not action-packed...

In just two days, comedy icons Eddie Murphy and Pete Davidson are about to join forces for a heist they never asked for in The Pickup. The new action comedy casts the pair of Saturday Night Live alumni as mismatched armored truck drivers who, during what should have been a routine, if lengthy, job, are ambushed and forced into a high-risk scheme orchestrated by the criminal mastermind Zoe, played by Nope star Keke Palmer. Before their very bad day spins out of control on streaming, though, Collider is partnering with Prime Video to share an exclusive sneak peek introducing the three main characters and their clashing personalities. It serves as a behind-the-scenes preview of how the chaotic film from director Tim Story came together.

After a brief scene showcasing the odd-couple at the center of The Pickup, Murphy teases his character, Russell, the no-nonsense married man who's about to have...

In 1982’s hit action comedy 48 Hours, a young Eddie Murphy plays a wiseacre criminal on parole in order to help a veteran cop, played by Nick Nolte, solve a case. Murphy immediately shot to screen stardom in the role, garnering lots of laughs opposite Nolte’s straight-man partner. Forty-three years later the roles are reversed in Murphy’s latest — and least — streamer movie, The Pickup.

In this one it is basically pedal-to-the-medal action, high on octane and low on comedy at least from Murphy, who now is playing the straight man, an about-to-retire veteran armored truck driver who is paired with a bumbling wannabe cop as his cohort in delivering what starts out to be an ordinary pickup of cash when they are suddenly hijacked. Pete Davidson takes on that role and is responsible for whatever attempts at laughs there are in this thing. Davidson seems to be channeling a new-age Jerry Lewis here,...

SummerSlam 2025 is in the books, and there’s a lot to talk about, but one thing that really stood out was the awesome and unique gear worn by the wrestlers. Cm Punk showed up in a Fantastic Four–themed costume for his match against Gunther, and Jade Cargill paid tribute to her Jamaican roots with an outfit that proudly repped her heritage.

The Judgment Day women rocked cheetah print, and Sami Zayn showed love for Palestine with gear in the colors of the flag. Tons of other stars brought their A-game too. Tiffany Stratton also turned heads with her Sabrina Carpenter-inspired gear, and it definitely caught people’s attention. Fans were loving the look, and it added to her overall standout appearance at the event.

Roman Reigns stuck to his iconic black boots and white gloves, a look that definitely resonated with old-school WWE fans. Alexa Bliss looked great in pink and black,...

WWE SummerSlam 2025 ended on one of the most shocking notes of all time. Following one of the most captivating showdowns in WWE history between John Cena and Cody Rhodes, the audience in MetLife Stadium witnessed the return of Brock Lesnar, exactly two years after his last appearance at WWE SummerSlam.

The Beast Incarnate’s entry sent shockwaves across the entire company. It was a sight no one expected, considering Lesnar’s alleged involvement in the Vince McMahon Janel Grant lawsuit, which was a roadblock for his return. However, after this night, the landscape of the WWE has been drastically altered.

The main event of WWE SummerSlam 2025 saw John Cena defend the Undisputed WWE title against Cody Rhodes in a Street Fight. It was one of the most intriguing and captivating matches of all time that exceeded all expectations.

The MCU could’ve given Seth Rollins a villainous role in one of their films, and he would’ve excelled with his natural heel persona. Unfortunately, he was cut off from the franchise in Captain America: Brave New World. In an interview with Chris Van Vliet, the star opened up about the possible reasons for his role being wiped from the film, saying:

Truth be told, any answer I gave you would only be my opinion on it. The script went through a lot of rewrites and reshoots and so what I was there to do… Essentially my role got either repurposed or completely erased.

The Architect yet again made history at SummerSlam when he played his ruse and cashed in on Cm Punk to win the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. This was a work that truly fooled even industry professionals and pro wrestling gurus. At the same time, it...

WWE SummerSlam 2025 was expected to be a breakout night for Karrion Kross as he was scheduled to face Sami Zayn in a singles showdown. However, at the brink of his current WWE contract expiring, he suffered a major defeat at the hands of the former WWE Intercontinental Champion.

Kross had been experiencing a major resurgence in the global juggernaut and garnering huge fan support. Yet, WWE decided to give it back to him and booked him to lose at the historic SummerSlam 2025 event, amidst his contract and status situation being uncertain.

Karrion Kross’s popularity has been skyrocketing in WWE in recent months. This came even when he was not a regular fixture on WWE television or wrestling on Monday Night Raw very often. Furthermore, fans have been constantly expressing...

As the likes of All Elite Wrestling and World Wrestling Entertainment have become fully fledged entertainment brands, rather than just wrestling promotions, it's become more common to see the in-ring performers make the jump to Hollywood -- and no, not those awful movies like "The Chaperone," "The Marine 6: Close Quarters," or any of Hulk Hogan's questionable straight-to-video offerings. You only need to look at how Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns were cast in major roles as Guile and Akuma respectively in Kitao Sakurai's "Street Fighter" reboot movie. In the past, they may have been credited as Thug #1 and Thug #2 in some random action scene.

Considering how wacky the world of pro wrestling is, it's no surprise to see it cross over much more with comic book movies and TV shows. After all, pro wrestlers are simply superheroes in skimpier tights and with their own catchphrases -- and...

After months of anticipation, Seth Rollins finally dropped the bomb at SummerSlam Night 1, revealing that his knee injury was a scheme. It was anticipated that Seth Rollins was going to return at August’s PPV. Fans had speculated that the star would give an update on the injury that had marred his wrestling career.

But it turns out that it was all a lie orchestrated perfectly to let Cm Punk drop his guard and receive another heartbreak as he put on a fight against Gunther. This made us think how far The Architect had gone to deceive everyone about his knee injury.

Seth Rollins’ Injury Ruse Stripped Cm Punk of His SummerSlam Moment

Earlier this year, Seth Rollins earned a guaranteed match for the WWE title when he won the Money in the Bank ladder match, playing mind games with John Cena and Gunther. However, his plans were spoiled when...

It has been a historic night at the MetLife Stadium for the first-ever two-night SummerSlam. The results for the first day of the high-stakes Ple event were not only consequential but also breathtaking, particularly concerning WWE storylines.

Night 1 of SummerSlam 2025 was not only a scintillating experience for fans around the world but also created several important moments as far as the current major storylines in the WWE are concerned. The match card for Night 1 and 2 is mind-boggling in every sense, and the first day of the event delivered on the hype created around it.

In light of the exciting conclusion to the first night of SummerSlam 2025, here are the major developments from the high-stakes Ple event.

Bron Breakker picked up an injury at SummerSlam 2025 and was spotted limping out after his tag match with Bronson Reed against Roman Reigns and Jey Uso. The bout was absolutely wild, fast-paced, packed with insane moves, and every wrestler tried to outdo themselves in the bout. It was a fast-paced bout that one could miss if they blinked. With so much going on and Bron Breakker pulling off multiple risky spots, it’s tough to pinpoint the exact moment he got hurt. However, he clearly gave it his all, and that ultimately resulted in his injury.

This could be a sign of the bad luck Seth Rollins’ group is dealing with. One by one, the members of the faction keep getting injured at PLEs, and now, Bronson Reed’s the only one left standing without an injury.

How Serious Is Bron Breakker’s Summerslam Injury? Bron Breakker during a bout...

WWE SummerSlam 2025 Night 1 opened up to a remarkable match. The Bloodline members, Roman Reigns and Jey Uso squared off against the young blood of the modern era, Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed. The match saw a different side of Reigns which might have hinted his new direction.

WWE SuperCard is one of the most popular online card games out there right now, especially for wrestling fans. It’s basically a card-battling game where you collect digital cards of WWE Superstars, past, present, and even some Hall of Famers. You’ll find everyone from legends like The Undertaker and Stone Cold to current stars like Roman Reigns and Bianca Belair. But sadly, you can’t play with Brock Lesnar anymore, as he was removed from the game after his alleged involvement in the Janel Grant Lawsuit.

Once you’ve built up your deck, you can throw down in various matches and events.

Your cards go head-to-head based on stats, and you can level them up and craft stronger versions to dominate opponents.
