SummerSlam: Seth Rollins Snaps Title from CM Punk in Shocking Night 1

CM Punk Wins Championship, Seth Rollins Steals the Show at SummerSlam

In a night full of surprises and unexpected twists, SummerSlam 2024, held at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, gave us unforgettable moments. CM Punk achieved an epic victory over Gunther to be crowned the new WWE World Heavyweight Champion, but the joy was short-lived. After Punk’s victory, Seth Rollins took advantage of his Money in the Bank contract and cashed in his title opportunity, defeating Punk to snatch the championship in an instant. The audience was stunned by this unexpected change of hands. Punk’s path to the championship began last month on “Raw”, where he won a gauntlet match to secure his opportunity to face Gunther.

Other Notable Results of the Night

The first night of SummerSlam also offered other memorable matches:

• Former champions Roman Reigns and Jey Uso teamed up to defeat Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed in a tag team match.
• Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss defeated Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez.
• Tiffany Stratton successfully defended her WWE Women’s Championship against Jade Cargill.

In addition, the event featured the debut of country music artist Jelly Roll, who teamed up with Randy Orton. Drew McIntyre and Logan Paul prevailed in a match where Jelly Roll suffered the ravages of professional wrestling.
