SummerSlam Results: Universal Championship
With Ronda Rousey winning the RAW Women’s Title in dominating fashion, it was now time for the main event at SummerSlam as Roman Reigns once again had his sights set on Brock Lesnar’s Universal Championship.
With the time for talking and heinous tactics involving pepper spray finally over, ‘The Big Dog’ seemed more focused than ever before after numerous failed attempts to defeat Lesnar this year and in year’s past. Just as the bell was about to ring though, Braun Strowman would march down to the ring and calling for a mic to announce that he would be cashing in his Money In The Bank contract after the match is over to face the winner.
As the bell rang, Reigns would connect with a trifecta of Superman Punches, quickly following with two straight Spears before measuring for a third. Lesnar would catch ‘The Big Dog’ with a guillotine on the third attempt trying for a tap-out, Roman powering to his feet and delivering a spinebuster to break it, but getting caught back in the guillotine again. Reigns would muscle up once again to break out with a spinebuster and with both men struggling back to their feet, ‘The Beast Incarnate’ would plant the challenger with multiple German suplexes.
The champion would go for an F5 that Roman would slip out of and measure for a Spear, Brock with a side-step to send Reigns to the outside, taking out Strowman in the process. Lesnar would look to damage Braun while retrieving the challenger, dropping him with an F5 on the floor, tossing the briefcase up the ramp and decimating ‘The Monster Among Men’ with a steel chair. As Brock slid back inside, Reigns would catch him with a Spear, hook the leg and win the Universal Title.

TKO president Mark Shapiro confirmed the company is employing artificial intelligence as part of WWE’s creative and analytics process, using it to gauge which superstars resonate, where they connect with fans, and to inform content, touring and revenue decisions. Shapiro framed AI as a tool to help map editorial and creative strategies, though he did not specify the scope or specific systems being used.
Industry critics caution that commercially available large language models have significant limitations — they’re trained on existing internet data, prone to hallucinations, and often fail to produce genuinely new creative ideas. Studies also cast doubt on large productivity gains from AI and raise concerns about over-reliance on automated analysis driving billion-dollar booking decisions, with commentators warning that unchecked use could skew creative outcomes and require rigorous human verification.

TKO president Mark Shapiro recently confirmed that Nick Khan and Triple H have incorporated AI into WWE’s creative process, and wrestling fans are now spotting the technology in vignettes and promo packages. An earlier El Grande Americano clip raised eyebrows last year, but this week’s NXT vignette allegedly featuring Sol Ruca and Zaria has prompted even stronger accusations that AI is being used in broadcast production.
Viewers highlighted uncanny-valley close-ups and likeness issues—most notably that Sol Ruca’s on-screen appearance didn’t match her real-life features—as signs the segment may have been AI-generated. Social media backlash suggests many fans feel WWE is rushing AI into television content before the tech can convincingly replicate talent.
