🔥 WWE SummerSlam 2026 is in the books, and the aftermath has completely changed the landscape of WWE!

On this episode of Ringside Renaissance, Kombat Jones and Very Deadly Jesse break down all the biggest moments, surprises, returns, and controversies coming out of SummerSlam — and look ahead at what’s next on RAW and SmackDown.

CM Punk and Cody Rhodes delivered an old-school classic, but now Kevin Owens is back — could KO be Punk’s next major challenger?

Meanwhile, Randy Orton has returned with Cody Rhodes in his sights, potentially setting the stage for another chapter between two men with years of history together.

We also break down Roman Reigns vs. Seth Rollins and what could be the final battle between the former Shield brothers, along with Roman’s story coming out of SummerSlam and his involvement with LA Knight on RAW.

Plus, we discuss Brock Lesnar and Oba Femi, and whether we’re watching Lesnar begin to pass the torch to WWE’s next monster.

Also on the show: Chad Gable’s huge hometown Intercontinental Championship victory, Chelsea Green becoming Interim WWE Women’s Champion, Liv Morgan and Iyo Sky, Solo Sikoa’s babyface turn, Nick Aldis’ emotional WWE in-ring debut, Paige and The Bellas, Becky Lynch, Danhausen and much more.

Was SummerSlam 2026 better than last year? Did CM Punk and Cody Rhodes steal the show? Is Kevin Owens next for Punk? What does Randy Orton’s return mean for Cody? And where do Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins go after their latest battle?
