Key Points:
- Brock Lesnar was moved to the main event of SummerSlam night one by Paul Levesque's decision, shifting from an initially planned opening slot, and Lesnar did not push for this change.
- The Hell in a Cell match involving Lesnar was reportedly created to satisfy ESPN and Lesnar himself, despite no real intention to use the cage in the match.
- Lesnar referred to himself as "the past" after SummerSlam, but WWE insiders expect him to have at least one more match, although no concrete plans exist yet.
- Nick Aldis, recently reinstated as SmackDown General Manager, is believed by WWE insiders to potentially return to in-ring competition.
- There was internal resistance among WWE wrestlers regarding Ryan Garcia's appearance on Raw, and a controversial AEW tribute video by Jacques was rejected due to unauthorized content and WWE footage, causing notable upset.
