Randy Orton returns at SummerSlam, attacks Cody Rhodes

There’s a Viper lurking again in WWE.

Former multi-time champion Randy Orton returned to the company last night at SummerSlam, interfering in the WWE Championship match attacking Cody Rhodes.

The referee took a bad bump, receiving a Cody Cutter by mistake after Punk moved out of the way. Punk hit a GTS but then Cody countered with a Cross Rhodes before a second attempt at a GTS failed. With the ref and Punk out of the ring, Orton sneaked in from the crowd and hit an RKO on his former tag team partner to a big pop from the crowd.

Orton looked straight at the hard cam, winked, and left the ring as quickly as he came in. That was followed by another GTS from Punk and a three count from the referee.

The Viper has not been seen on WWE television since WrestleMania 42 Sunday, where he lost his match against Rhodes in the main event. Orton brutally attacked Rhodes following the match but Orton disappeared from TV, due to an injury, and the attack was never followed up.

SummerSlam 2026 Saturday pick’em report

Hey, everybody! It’s @TheMagnumDA LIVE in downtown Minneapolis for SummerSlam 2026!! I’m here with Brother Bull, and we’re joined in spirit by the fearless Colin Vassallo for Night One of the Pick’em report! This is going to be a straight up pick’em for tonight – the two night journey to the WOPC championship starts now! What are we waiting for?

ON WITH THE PICKS!

Women’s World Championship: Liv Morgan (c) vs. Iyo Sky

Magnum: Continuing with the story that the Judgment Day is CURSED, I think this is truly the beginning of the end for this stable. Something catastrophic means Liv is going down. Iyo Sky wins the title.

Colin: Over 100 days as champion, zero title defenses. Nothing great about Liv’s title reign, but not her fault, of course. I feel like Iyo should win tonight, but I will not be shocked if Liv walks out of there with the title. In fact, Liv is my pick. Trouble trouble.

Bull: Should be a tremendous match. Iyo wins or we riot!! Kudos to Liv for her record amount of title defenses. Tonight, Iyo will win the title.

Hell in a Cell Match: Oba Femi vs. Brock Lesnar

Magnum: Oooooo doggie. This is going to be an absolute dogfight. They’re going to go places that we are not ready for. In the end, the torch will be passed, and Obi Femi will be victorious.

Colin: Ready for this. Should be explosive. I want to see blood. I want to see sweat, which is guaranteed after a few minutes with Brock Lesnar. And I want to see carnage. If this is the end of their feud, then Oba should go on top. I don’t think any other future match can top this gimmick, so probably this is the end of the road for these two together. Oba Oba Oba!

Bull: A career defining moment, and the end of an era for another. Oba wins in a bloodbath.

Gunther vs. Nick Aldis

Magnum: A lot of fans are unhappy about Gunther being put in this position, but I think we’re going to see a technical marvel. The former NWA champion will have a chance to show the world exactly what he can do. This will be great! Ultimately, I think there could be a rematch. So I’ll take Aldis to win tonight!

Colin: I am really looking forward to see Aldis back in a ring wrestling. The dude was really good before transitioning to an on-screen GM role. I’m glad he’s getting a chance to showcase his talent on WWE television, but there’s no way he is winning here. Gunther winning is the only logical outcome.

Bull: Gunther and Aldis are going to have a mat classic. For the finish, Gunther is going to get the win, but Aldis will get his appreciation from the crowd.

The Bloodline (The Usos & Jacob Fatu) vs. LA Knight, Solo Sikoa & Royce Keys

Magnum: I am loving this version of Solo. He looks like he’s being himself and getting the crowd behind him along the way. This could turn into a wild tornado brawl. I like the family staying strong here. Give me The Usos and Jacob Fatu to win here.

Colin: Who knew Solo could be a face? LOL! I’m actually enjoying him as a babyface. This could be a fun match as all six can work. Having said that, I’m pretty sure The Bloodline is going over.

Bull: Should be a crazy match. The Bloodline gotta stay strong, though. I’ll take The Bloodline for the win.

Fatal Influence vs. The Bella Twins & Paige

Magnum: Bull and I are looking forward to this one – expect him to be caught on camera singing their theme song tonight. I love the push Fatal Influence is getting, and I think it continues tonight. Fatal Influence steals a win.

Colin: Paige now needs to move away from this whole Bella Twins love-fest and go in a different direction. I would not be surprised if The Bellas turn on Paige and turn heel. Fatal Influence are being pushed nicely and I like that to continue, so Fatal Influence for the W.

Bull: Magnum is right. I freaking can’t wait for Fatal Influence, and YES I will be singing their theme song as they come out. This is gonna be so much better than people think. I’ll take my ladies from Fatal Influence.

Undisputed WWE Championship: CM Punk (c) vs. Cody Rhodes

Magnum: FINALLY these guys threw some blows last night. Took you long enough! I actually like the slow build to this story, and I think we’re for a big swerve. I think there is more juice in this orange, so I will take Punk to retain tonight.

Colin: Cody as champion is a bit “old” for now, so I do not think they will revisit that scenario for the time being. Punk just came back and surely they won’t take the title away from him just yet. It will be close, but Punk retains.

Bull: This match is going to kick ass. Last night’s promo was fantastic. Who will win? I think Punk retains and the Cody Rhodes we knew and loved…starts to slowly unravel. You read it here first.

That’s gonna do it for all of us here at Wrestling-Online! Enjoy the show and we’ll see you tomorrow for Night 2!! this is @TheMagnumDA signing off.

The Lucha Bros reunite after Smackdown goes off the air

The Lucha Bros, featuring Penta and Rey Fenix, tag teamed last night in the post-Smackdown dark match, defeating JD McDonagh and Dominik Mysterio.

This is the first time that the WWE Intercontinental champion and the AAA Cruiserweight champion teamed up together since July 2014 when they were still part of AEW.

The two were supposed to wrestle together for an AAA show months ago but that changed after Penta got injured.

The Lucha Bros are former AEW, AAA, TNA, MLW, HOG, and ROH Tag Team champions.

Ric Flair receives another custom Rolex watch from WrestleMania 24 which he had lost

Ric Flair received a huge surprise at The National Sports Collectors Convention in Chicago, with Roman Sharf, CEO of Luxury Bazaar, gifting him a Rolex which Shawn Michaels had given to Flair after WrestleMania 24.

Flair was no longer in possession of the custom-made Rolex President watch which had the numbers 24 with diamonds on the face. Flair had apparently “misplaced” the watch and did not have it anymore, with Sharf going on a mission to recreate the watch.

In a video published on his Instagram, Sharf is seen approaching Flair at the autograph table and ask him to sign something different, removing a Rolex box from his bag. Flair signed the box, not knowing what was about to happen next.

“One more thing if you don’t mind, if you could open it,” Sharf tells Flair. “This is a gift to you.”

Flair’s mouth drops to the floor and looks over to his assistant in disbelief.

Sharf tells Flair that it’s only right if he had it and Flair started to cry, thanking Sharf.

“Don’t lose it again,” Sharf jokingly tells Flair.

“I won’t,” Flair replies.

Report states Jacques Rougeau was almost kicked out of the Redemption pay-per-view

Redemption 2026

Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer is reporting that Jacques Rougeau was almost kicked out of Centre Bell last weekend prior to the Redemption pay-per-view.

AEW honored the legacy of the Rougeaus during the Buy In show in a segment that nearly never made it because of a “temper tantrum” which happened backstage.

Meltzer notes that Jacques gave AEW a tribute video that he wanted them to play during the show, but the video was apparently too long, featured footage which AEW had no rights to rebroadcast, music which was not licensed, and some AI-generated graphics.

The story goes that the powers that be did not like the video and were not ready to green-light it for the show, resulting in Jacques complaining big time about it.

Enough noise was created by the man formerly known as The Mountie that he was threatened that security would eject him from the arena if he does not calm down.

However, Rougeau rejected Meltzer’s report in a post on social media today, saying that Meltzer was slandering him “on all American sites with false information.”

“I am amazed to see keyboard warriors having the right to spread false news without being sanctioned or getting their fingers slapped,” he wrote, adding a photo of Meltzer with a long nose.

The educational importance of invoice templates in modern business communication

Introduction

Business documentation plays a crucial role in maintaining organized financial records, promoting professional communication, and supporting successful commercial activities. Every organization, whether it is a multinational corporation, a small business, or an independent freelancer, relies on structured documents to record transactions and communicate with clients.
