Wrestling fans have reacted to a surprising photograph featuring Michael Cole and the live crowd from WWE SummerSlam 2024. The show took place on August 3, 2024, in the Cleveland Browns Stadium in Cleveland, Ohio.
SummerSlam 2024 featured an action-packed, star-studded card, including matches such as Liv Morgan vs Rhea Ripley for the Women's World Title, Bron Breakker vs Sami Zayn for the Intercontinental Title, LA Knight vs Logan Paul for the United States Title, and Bayley vs Nia Jax for the WWE Women's Title.
The PLE also presented Damian Priest vs Gunther for the World Heavyweight Title, Cody Rhodes vs Solo Sikoa for the Undisputed WWE Title, and a blockbuster grudge match between CM Punk and Drew McIntyre with Seth Rollins serving as the special guest referee.

Fans drowned out a popular wrestler with 'She's a racist' chants recently
Fans flocked to X/Twitter to share their reactions to the tweet. A number of users echoed the original poster's sense of humor in their comments, taking aim at AEW and President Tony Khan for the promotion's low live audience figures.
A report from the Wrestling Observer Newsletter last month revealed that AEW has supposedly sold at least around 40,000 tickets for its upcoming pay-per-view All In 2024. It remains to be seen what the figures will look like over the following weeks.
AEW's Buddy Matthews commented on Dominik Mysterio turning on Rhea Ripley at WWE SummerSlam
In a shocking turn of events, the Women's World Title match between Rhea Ripley and Liv Morgan at WWE SummerSlam 2024 saw the champion retain her title against The Eradicator with an assist from Dominik Mysterio. The latter turned on his Mami, ending their nearly two-year-long alliance, and was seen leaving to the back along with Morgan after sharing a kiss.
The development elicited a comment from Ripley's real-life husband, AEW star Buddy Matthews. The House of Black member and former AEW World Trios Champion took to X/Twitter to request Tony Khan's permission to aid The Nightmare, writing:
"TK can I help Mami real quick?"
Matthews made his return to AEW programming on the August 3, 2024 episode of Collision, reuniting with Malakai Black and Brody King to confront The Patriarchy, who had taken him out in a backstage assault several weeks ago.
