Cody Rhodes retained the Undisputed WWE Title in front of a record crowd in Cleveland, though re received assistance after the dramatic return of Roman Reigns.

In an action packed 'Bloodline Rules' match, both Rhodes and his challenger Solo Sikoa were joined at various times in the ring by multiple other wrestlers, including The Bloodline to assist Sikoa, as well as Kevin Owens and Randy Orton coming into bat for Rhodes.

Both men were close to pinning down each other in sometimes scarcely believable circumstances, but it would be the return of Reigns, who has been away since Wrestlemania, that would ultimately be the deciding factor in the match.

Reigns, after slowly making his way towards the ring, would hit Sikoa firstly with a Superman punch, followed by a spear; this gave Rhodes the chance to use his Cross Rhodes to finally put Sikoa to bed and successfully pinning him down.

It was a thrilling end to a great night of wrestling action. as over 54,000 fans piled in to Cleveland Browns Stadium, a record for Summerslam.

Four Titles changed hands, including Gunther winning the World Heavyweight Title off Damian Priest after the latter was betrayed by Finn Balor.

It was not the only instance of betrayal in Cleveland, as earlier in the night, as in the Women's World Championship fight, as Dominik Mysterio betrayed Lea Ripley by causing a distraction, allowing Liv Morgan to retain her title; Mysterio and Morgan shared a kiss post-match, confirming Mysterio's new alligegiance.

Nia Jax was able to gain the WWE Women's Title against Bayley, with a little help from a Tiffany Stratton, whilst Bron Breakker and LA Knight were able to defeat Sami Zayn and local hero Logan Paul to win the WWE Intercontinental Title and WWE United States Championship respectively.

The only match without a title on the line was still an eagerly awaited one, as the feud between CM Punk and Drew McIntyre reached its peak in their match with special guest referee Seth "Freakin" Rollins.

There were arguments within the match between all three main men, and though Punk looked like he was about to steal a notable victory, some lapses in concentration allowed McIntyre to get the win via pinfall, though we doubt it is the end of the feud at all.
