Charlotte and Alexa cracked me up tonight. Charlotte: “I have to admit she’s been there for me, even if she _is_ super annoying.” Alexa: "I’m sorry… is that a _compliment?"_ Charlotte: “Take it or leave it.” Alexa: “I guess I’ll take it.” ---

Charlotte and Alexa won the women’s tag titles. Tiffany retained against Jade. In the main event, CM Punk defeated Gunther to win the World Title - and then Seth Rollins cashed in on him. ---

Was the Rollins knee injury a work? ---

Dunno. Seems that way. Punk probably feels stupid right now. This motherfucker literally waited 3 minutes for Rollins to come out, pose, drop his crutches and _walk_ to the ring to cash in on him. ---

I was debating if it was a work, or a shoot-work. Rollins could have tweaked his knee, but when it wasn’t bad, they went with this story. Or it could have been planned from the start. Both lead to the same place. As for Punk, yeah, wrestlers in the ring are always, ALWAYS stupid. Have Breakker and Reed come through the audience cutting off escape. But they rarely do this. At least Rollins really whaled on Punk with the case. Maybe they learned from Naomi, who should have gone to town on both Iyo and Rhea with the case, then cashed it in. That they constantly mess up these little things (Punk in ring, Naomi not taking advantage of the case, wrestlers in the ring when someone’s music hits, especially in the middle of a match) is annoying. ---

Remember when Vince McMahon telegraphed getting Alberto del Rio out to cash in on Punk at MITB 2011, and when Alberto got there, Punk kicked him in the head and escaped through the crowd? ---

Cody Rhodes regained the WWE Title from John Cena in the main event of SummerSlam Night 2. Post-match, Brock Lesnar came out, making his return to WWE after two years, and hit an F-5 on Cena. ---

HEADS UP! Tonight on RAW in the main event, Seth Rollins will defend the World Heavyweight Title against LA Knight, and Bron and Bronson are banned from ringside. ---

there’s a cute story where it was all an angle and Orton explained it somewhat to his preschool age daughter but explained it was a big secret and the only one who knew on the outside was the daughters preschool teacher because the 4 or 5 year old told her like 20 minutes later ---

Rollins, not Orton. And yeah, I read that story too. Is that the same child whom Becky was pregnant with when she went on sabbatical and told Asuka that the Women’s Championship belt was inside the Money in the Bank briefcase? ---

Apparently the ESPN streaming service will be included for free for _some_ people who already have cable. But not all. In other news, former ROH World Champion Jonathan Gresham announced that he recently suffered two strokes while he was home alone. It took him 30 minutes to be able to call 911, but he got to a hospital. Apparently it’s a complication from a bout of COVID he had a little while ago. > **[Jonathan Gresham suffers multiple strokes, is taking a few weeks off from...](https://www.cagesideseats.com/indies-independent-wrestling-indy-promotions/355239/jonathan-gresham-reveals-suffered-two-strokes-health-scare-story-hospital-time-off-recovery)** > > Gresham expects to be back in the ring soon after being hospitalized by multiple strokes. ---

We’ve got John Cena vs. Logan Paul at Clash in Paris, and quite possibly Cody Rhodes vs. Drew McIntyre for the WWE Title, if Drew hitting the Claymore on Cody through the front of the announce desk tonight on SmackDown is any indication. ---

Paul’s been in a _lot_ of high-profile matches. He even main-evented a Saudi show against Roman Reigns for the Universal Title in, like, his third match. ---
