Logan Paul Impaulsive TV: Jelly Roll
Logan Paul told Jelly Roll you are getting in the ring with two of WWE’s finest. Jelly told Logan you have been a silver spoon kid your whole life. I’m getting in this ring to represent every poor kid who had a dream and got pissed on by high school jocks like you. My story has inspired millions of people. You’re soft and you’re nothing but a Prime pedaling punk ass bitch.
Drew McIntyre got in the ring. Randy Orton made his way to the ring. Orton looked like he was going to start speaking, dropped the mic and punched McIntyre while Jelly charged after Logan.

Orton grabbed McIntyre and threw him into the guard rail. Jelly punched Logan and gave him a few shoulder tackles. Logan kicked Jelly in the stomach. Logan went for the knockout punch, but Jelly ducked and hit him with a Black Hole Slam.

Cody Rhodes interview:
Cody Rhodes said WWE lost one of its giants in Hulk Hogan. I know emotions and feelings regarding it are complicated, but what is not complicated are his accomplishments and contributions to WWE, to sports entertainment, to pro wrestling, and entertainment as a whole. They are staggering and indisputable. I want to take a moment to say, thank you, Hulk Hogan.
At SummerSlam, I want to fight the real John Cena. If this is your last SummerSlam, come to it like it is your first. I want all the hustle, loyalty and respect. I want the real John Cena so I know this story we’ve been on is real and the only person who has the answer to that question is John Cena.
The Miz – Jacob Fatu confrontation
Jacob Fatu said Solo Sikoa tried to send me to jail last week. At SummerSlam, I’m going to dog walk his ass inside the steel cage. The Miz showed up. He told Jacob that he put him on the shelf six weeks ago, just enough time to figure out who I am. Solo reminded me there’s a bigger game at play and you’re just a pawn. I’m not the victim, I’m not the target, I’m the main character. I went to Nick Aldis and got a match with you right now. You got the wrong guy on the wrong date in the wrong city because Cleveland is my hometown. He then slapped Jacob in the face.
