Previously reported on eWn had indicated that Cody Rhodes successfully defended his Undisputed WWE Universal Championship against Solo Sikoa. This significant event took place during SummerSlam 2024’s paramount matchup.
Throughout the bout, Jacob Fatu seemed to have a mishap while executing a top-rope splash move onto Cody Rhodes which involved crashing through the commentary desk.
Secured insights from Fightful Select tell us that Fatu’s subsequent leg ailment was actually a part of the act. It is still uncertain to what extent he was meant to have dramatized the injury.
It was reported earlier that Fatu was seen sporting a therapeutic boot after the spectacle. This added to the drama surrounding the match’s aftermath.
Meanwhile, the anticipated re-entry of Roman Reigns into WWE Universe was a well-guarded secret all day. The superstar remained unseen until just prior to his appearance for his distinct segment.
In preceding news, we reported that Seth Rollins had to prematurely retire his “Referee Cam” during the standoff between CM Punk and Drew McIntyre at WWE SummerSlam 2024. The abrupt halt was due to the disconnection of a battery pack.
Regarding the Referee Cam, the concept was initially trialed at WWE’s Training hub in Orlando, FL. After successful testing and appropriate fine-tuning, it made its premiere on that fateful Saturday evening.
