Wrestling World Reacts To Surprise SummerSlam Ending

[Kemo]

The wrestling world is in shock at the ending of SummerSlam.

The main event of night one of the WWE PLE featured Gunther defending his World Heavyweight Championship against CM Punk.

Punk managed to defeat the Ring General to win his first WWE championship in over a decade, after the defending champion got busted open from a spot.

The celebration didn’t last for long, however, as Seth Rollins showed up with his MITB briefcase. The architect who had been selling a knee injury in recent weeks, shed all signs of it and cashed in his contract on Punk to become the new champion.

Multiple wrestling personalities reacted to this surprise turn of events after the show went off air. Becky Lynch posted a backstage video of herself reacting to her husband’s win and advised fans not to believe everything they read on the internet:
