Though the New Year seems quite far off in the distance, the WWE Universe only has four more premium live events before Day 1 returns. Other highlights from the pay-per-view included Liv Morgan getting her first significant women’s title shot against then-“Raw” Women’s Champion Becky Lynch and The Usos vs. A few first-ever WWE premium live events took place or are scheduled to take place in 2022, including WWE Clash at the Castle this September and WWE Day 1 back in January. WWE announced that the latter of the two, Day 1, will return to the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, GA, for the second year in a row and takes place on — you guessed it — New Year’s Day 2023.

Io Shirai has debuted a brand new name after making her shock main roster debut last night at WWE SummerSlam alongside Bayley.

You can watch all of the fallout to SummerSlam tomorrow night on WWE Raw live in the UK on BT Sport. If you manage to catch the show last night, you can watch the event in full, including the one-hour pre-show, right now on-demand on the WWE Network. The segment was rather exciting, with many fans feeling it was Triple H’s way of signifying that things are going to be different now that he’s running WWE creative.

An update on Bayley's return to WWE at SummerSlam where the former Raw & Smackdown Women's Champion was joined by Dakota Kai and IO SKY.

SKY had her contract expire recently and it was believed that she would stay in the company if there was a role for her on Raw or Smackdown. Once again it’s likely that Triple H being in charge played a factor in her return. However, now that there’s a new regime in WWE with Stephanie McMahon as the Chairwoman and Triple H as the Head of Creative, Kai is back in WWE. She has been part of the company on the NXT brand for the last seven years. Other women who were believed to be pitched for a group like this were Kay Lee Ray (now Alba Fyre in NXT) and Raquel Rodriguez.

After coming up short against Raw Women's Champion Bianca Belair, it seems Becky Lynch has now turned babyface. Post-match, Big Time Becks shared a handshake ...

With her SmackDown Women's Title match ending controversially, Rousey attacked Liv Morgan after the bout, putting her in an armbar before then doing the same to the referee. As for that controversial finish, Morgan retained her prize after countering an armbar into a pinning combination and getting the three count. Coming out of WWE SummerSlam 2022, it appears that two of the company's top female talents have undergone character changes.

With SummerSlam in the books, we now have more information on the behind-the-scenes machinations of the event's booking decisions.

Listen to Ring Rust Radio for all of the hot wrestling topics. Lynch to the chaotic closing bell of Reigns vs. The mistake was, perhaps, on the part of the production team—or simply an oversight behind the scenes in not updating Sky's tron for her debut.

Marvel studios and "Two Broke Girls" star Kat Dennings watched some WWE SummerSlam last night and might consider herself a fan now.

As noted, she would find her most tremendous Hollywood success so far by landing the role of Max Black in the CBS sitcom “2 Broke Girls” and Darcy Lewis in the Marvel cinematic universe. You’ve watched her in Marvel productions like the Thor films and WandaVision, as well as the CBS sitcom “2 Broke Girls,” but what does Kat Dennings enjoy watching? After a fun, memorable show like last night’s premium live event, it’s understandable she felt that sense of passion that brought her to social media.

The original "CONTROL" tweet was retweeted by the official WWE account. As noted earlier, it looks like Bayley's faction will feud with Lynch, Belair and possibly one other woman but an injury may force WWE to change their plans. Control of what I do

Vince McMahon retired from WWE last week, so SummerSlam was the first pay-per-view that the wrestling giant has ever put on without the 76-year-old in charge.

If you manage to catch the show last night, you can watch the event in full, including the one-hour pre-show, right now on-demand on the WWE Network. In another interesting update, Fightful Select is reporting that the idea for Bayley to lead a faction was actually made several months under, while Vince McMahon was running the show.

Logan Paul defeated The Miz; United States champion Bobby Lashley defeated Theory by submission; Rey and Dominik Mysterio defeated The Judgment Day's Finn Balor ...

A highlight of the night came during the Ronda Rousey heel-turn. A.J. Styles also made an appearance, and the narrative from the broadcast team was that Styles will be introduced as the one training and preparing Paul for WWE. Realistically, Styles should be in the mix for the world title, but just like with everything else he does, Styles will certainly add value to this program, which is set to continue. Despite multiple opportunities, Rousey failed to connect with the crowd as a babyface. The new faction, which has the potential to be one of the most exciting groups in wrestling, was ready to attack Belair until Lynch came to her defense. Pat McAfee also returned to the ring, defeating Happy Corbin. This didn’t quite meet the standard McAfee set at WrestleMania 38, but he was his usual athletic marvel in the match, though the finish was never in doubt. But couldn’t The Judgment Day be presented in a more realistic, less cartoonish manner? Following a post-match handshake, with Lynch shifting back to a babyface, it was clear a new villain needed. Belair kicked out of a Mandhandle Slam, but Lynch could not kick out of the KOD. It served as another important victory for Belair, making last year’s 27-second loss to Lynch at SummerSlam a distant memory. The Usos also defeated the Street Profits, a solid match that lacked any fireworks. The card also saw Bianca Belair and Liv Morgan retain their respective titles, and overall, it was a very successful pay-per-view. Lesnar was certainly in his element, working a tractor, hitting F5s, and maximizing all of his strengths. There was added intrigue when Theory made his sprint to the ring during the match and a cash-in was teased, but ultimately the story was Reigns teaming up with Jimmy and Jey Uso to ensure The Bloodline remained atop WWE. Finishes to Last Man Standing matches are notoriously predictable, and this was no exception, but the match itself was compelling.

They actually give a shit about the women talent.— Cassie (@RheaRipley4Evr) July 31, 2022 As others have pointed out already — go read this Trevor Dame thread of tweets about it — Triple H has been put into the enviable position of being gifted a mansion that just needs cleaned up a bit. Combine the two and you get this:

Becky Lynch Is A Face Now · Ronda Rousey Is A Heel Now · Logan Paul Is A Potential Future WWE Champion · The Miz Is Really Freaking Good And People Need To Put ...

He would need that level of repetition to improve enough in the ring and get over with fans enough to be a possible world champion, but the ceiling is so high with this dude. I have no idea if WWE will be able to fix its issues with Sasha Banks and Naomi. I really hope they do, but I don’t think any of us know the full story of what’s going on behind the scenes there. This match doesn’t work without The Miz being one of the few performers in all of wrestling with a strong enough heel background to get boos against Logan Paul. This guy is a first ballot Hall of Famer, and he does a great job with whatever material he has to work with. I hope a ton of other things, but mostly, I’m going to shut my mouth and trust Triple H to do this division justice. Because of all the injuries on WWE’s roster, Brock Lesnar was one of the few people who could have main evented SummerSlam with Roman Reigns and gotten fans excited. I’m not saying he’s going to be WWE Champion, but if he decides this is something he wants to do and commits, he’ll get there. The match ended with the crowd giving him a huge pop thanks in part to a giant frog splash from the top ropes to the announcer’s table. Last night seemed to be implying we’ll be getting Becky and Bianca working together against this new heel stable, but I’m not entirely convinced that’ll happen over the long haul. Sometimes that story is self-contained within the match, but more often than not, the match is simply a portion of a larger story being told. I think a lot of fans are in the same place too. I am here for it, and if the live crowd and Twitter’s reactions are any indication, most fans are here for it too. She was an unhinged mess, and she played the role without any reservations.

Bianca Belair wins in her home state. Becky turns babyface. Bayley is back. Dakota Kai has been rehired. Io Shirai makes her main roster debut. And the ...

It would be absolutely brilliant to reignite a storyline with Zayn as babyface and Kevin Owens as a heel and let the two Canadian’s work a storyline where they wrestle for a major championship. It felt as though any time a star in NXT arrived on either Raw or SmackDown, the shine they had gained on the black and gold brand was washed away and replaced with a new coat of paint. At the heart of WWE is the word wrestling, and that is both literal and metaphorical. Triple H was in charge of NXT when Owens and Zayn first encountered each other with Zayn as champion. However, if there’s no payoff in the ring, there is little to no memory of the multiple weeks of work prior to it. Fans are drawn to WWE not for the cheesy backstage segments or sometimes eye-rolling promo segments, but for the art of pro wrestling. If there is a group of friends behind the scenes dying to do something together, let them do it. It was top heavy with the likes of Charlotte Flair, Sasha Banks, Bayley and Lynch, with only Belair breaking through to the upper echelon of star power. The foursome was so good together due in large part to their friendship and natural camaraderie on and off camera. It will be extremely refreshing to see new challengers for the Raw and SmackDown women’s championships. There is plenty of reason for optimism for the jaded WWE fan. The first WWE premium live event of the post-Vince McMahon era has officially passed with SummerSlam having come and gone.

Last night's WWE SummerSlam premium live event saw the return of former multi-time women's champion Bayley, as well as Dakota Kai and Iyo Sky (Io Shirai),

Control of what I do. Control of what I say. Control of what I do

The opening match of SummerSlam, we saw Bianca Belair successfully defend her RAW Women's Championship against Becky Lynch following an intense physical bout.

However, Lynch promptly jumped back inside the squared circle as a backup for her long-term rival. Bayley walked out to a defeating pop as she made her first appearance in a year, but that was not all. Control of what I say, control of what I do.

Brock Lesnar is still trending across social media and YouTube for his incredible performance at Saturday's WWE SummerSlam.

A poster for the event can be seen here. Besides WWE’s official footage, fans at the stadium recorded videos of the epic moment from their vantage point with unique camera angles. But there was a post-match moment that viewers watching on Peacock and WWE Network did not get a glimpse of, but over 48,000 fans at Nissan Stadium paid witness to.

WWE SummerSlam saw an incredible night and a mind-blowing finish to a fight between Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns.
