The planning for Punk's championship victory and his appearance at SummerSlam has reportedly been in place for over a month, according to False Finish. Initial plans had reportedly called for a match between CM Punk and Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 43 in Saudi Arabia. However, that match was reportedly moved to SummerSlam this year in Minnesota with the aim of making it an even more significant event than WrestleMania 42.
The report also mentions other ongoing rumors, including Sami Zayn not being part of WWE's original plans for SummerSlam and continuing storylines involving The Bloodline. Road Dogg is also noted to be in TNA, and other rumors suggest Sami Zayn's title win was kept a secret. Additionally, there are rumors about AEW changes to the Omega vs. MJF plan and whether WWE is punishing independent promotions on AEW's new streaming service.
