Cody Rhodes retained his Universal WWE Championship over Solo Sikoa on Saturday night in Cleveland, but the biggest moment of the night belonged to Roman Reigns.
Reigns, the former Universal champion, returned from four months off to handle some business with Sikoa, as the “Original Tribal Chief” delivered a Superman Punch and spear to his cousin to hand the victory to Rhodes.
What does this mean for The Bloodline? Is Reigns all the way back? We’ll have to find out in the coming weeks following Saturday’s festivities.
Five other titles were up for grabs in Cleveland Stadium, and four of them changed hands. Here’s everything that went down on the seven-match fight card in the 2024 edition of SummerSlam.
