Last week we speculated that Sami Zayn’s WWE title reign was not long for this world– that it may end as soon as Friday Night Smackdown. It turns out that prediction was off by a few days; it actually ended on Monday Night RAW!
CM Punk returned to a raucous reaction in Chicago to win the WWE championship. What does this mean for SummerSlam? And where does Sami go from here?
The Main Event: Sheamus departs WWE
Sheamus has been a WWE mainstay for nearly two decades now. He’s a multiple time world champion, tag champion, King of the Ring, Money in the Bank Winner, Royal Rumble winner and one IC Title short of being a grand slam champion. And now he’s decided to leave WWE for the first time in his career.
The Three Count:
Danielle put over comedians barely understanding wrestling.
Lindsey put over CM Punk’s fridge 2.0.
Hal put over Sami’s natural reaction.
Keep up with this show all week long on instagram, tiktok and bluesky.
