That will feature a panel of familiar faces discussing what happened on the last PLE stop on the road to WrestleMania 42, and talking to guests — which used to always include Chief Content Officer Paul “Triple H” Levesque, but his attendance has been spottier as WWE creative has become less beloved, We’ll certainly see some of the PLE’s big winners, and probably an angle or announcement or two. Night One of SummerSlam opened with Liv Morgan making a statement with a clean win over IYO SKY, followed by LA Knight and my guy Solo “Dolo” Sikoa teaming with Royce Keys to get an upset win over The Bloodline when Knight pinned Jey Uso. Nick Aldis impressed the world, then got an ovation and a moment with his family as he possibly said goodbye. Fatal Influence picked up a big win, then The Bellas broke bad on Paige. The Undisputed WWE title didn’t main event, but it did feature the return of Randall Keith Orton, restarting his feud with Cody Rhodes and helping a seemingly unawares CM Punk retain. Hell in a Cell closed us out, and might have ended Brock Lesnar’s career after Oba Femi pinned him and received the proverbial torch from The Beast Incarnate.
