Jimmy Uso's shocking betrayal and Iyo Sky's cash-in steal the show at SummerSlam 2023 in a night filled with surprises.
In a shocking turn of events at SummerSlam 2023, the Ford Field was left in awe as Jimmy Uso played a pivotal role in the outcome of the Tribal Combat main event, while Iyo Sky reached the pinnacle of the WWE Women's division. The night kicked off with Logan Paul and Ricochet setting the stage for an action-packed event. Paul once again showcased his skills inside the wrestling ring, delivering incredible counters that left the crowd amazed. However, Paul resorted to underhanded tactics, using brass knuckles to secure a clean shot at Ricochet and claim the victory.
The final showdown between Brock Lesnar and Cody Rhodes, marking the end of their heated feud, was a battle to remember. Rhodes launched an offensive right from the start, but Lesnar made a comeback, displaying a dominant performance reminiscent of his victory over John Cena at SummerSlam 2014. However, Rhodes refused to back down and ultimately secured his redemption by executing a series of Cross Rhodes, earning a clean victory. In a display of great sportsmanship, Lesnar extended his hand in respect, garnering appreciation from the crowd.
The SummerSlam battle royal followed, with Omos emerging as a formidable threat. The giant showcased his strength by eliminating several competitors, but he was ultimately eliminated through a joint effort from the other participants. The fan favorite, LA Knight, emerged victorious by eliminating Sheamus, claiming the well-deserved win.
The grudge match between Ronda Rousey and Shayna Baszler, fought under MMA rules, showcased the former best friends delving deep into their MMA arsenal. Rousey seemed to be inching closer to victory, but Baszler, despite nursing an injured arm, managed to lock in the Khirifuda clutch and secure the win. Speculation has arisen regarding Rousey's potential departure from WWE following this match.
The Intercontinental title match proved to be a thrilling encounter as Gunther faced a formidable challenge from Drew McIntyre. Both competitors delivered incredible shots, pushing each other to their limits. A critical mistake from McIntyre on the top rope opened the door for Gunther, who capitalized on the opportunity and ultimately defeated the Scottish Warrior, continuing his historic reign as champion.
In what can be considered the highlight of the night, Seth Rollins successfully defended his World Heavyweight title against Finn Balor in a match that had been seven years in the making. These two superstars showcased their exceptional skills, solidifying their positions as top talents in the industry. The interference of Mr. Money In The Bank Damian Priest proved to be the decisive factor, causing chaos with his briefcase. While initially appearing to aid Balor, Priest's actions backfired as Rollins used the MITB briefcase to his advantage, stomping Priest and securing the three-count.
The WWE Women's Championship match was filled with surprises, witnessing the title change hands twice. Bianca Belair, Charlotte, and Asuka delivered yet another classic women's match, but a turning point occurred when the EST of WWE seemingly injured her knee. This temporarily transformed the match into a singles showdown between Charlotte and Asuka. However, Belair made a triumphant return despite her injury. The match concluded with Asuka executing the mist on Charlotte while she had the Figure 8 locked in on Belair. Seizing the opportunity, the EST pinned Asuka, capturing the title.
But the excitement didn't end there. Iyo Sky cashed in her Money In The Bank briefcase, delivering a moonsault that sealed her victory and crowned her as the new WWE Women's Champion.
The main event, the highly anticipated Tribal Combat, lived up to its hype. Jey and Reigns engaged in a fierce battle, unleashing incredible offense. Solo Sikoa also played a significant role in the match. However, the most shocking twist occurred when it seemed like Jey was on the verge of victory. Jimmy Uso made a surprising return, betraying his own brother and aiding Reigns in securing the win. This ensured Reigns' retention of the title and solidified his position as the Tribal Chief.
Overall, SummerSlam 2023 delivered a night of unforgettable moments, showcasing the talent, athleticism, and drama that the WWE is renowned for. From surprise betrayals to hard-fought victories, this event left the Ford Field and fans worldwide in awe.
