WWE SummerSlam Aftermath: Champions React To Their Wins

The WWE SummerSlam hangover is upon us after seeing numerous title changes and surprise victories from Brooklyn’s Barclays Center. WWE published new video interviews with most of the champions on Sunday night. First, new WWE Cruiserweight Champion Neville commenced his second title reign after defeating Akira Tozawa during the SummerSlam Kickoff show. He was interviewed by Mike Rome but he would command the interview instead.

The Kickoff also saw a second title change with The Usos winning their second SmackDown Tag Team Championship after defeating The New Day.

Another SmackDown Live title change occurred in the main SummerSlam card when SmackDown Women’s Champion Naomi tapped out to Natalya’s Sharpshooter. Natalya spoke about her title victory, her first championship since 2010.

The RAW Women’s Championship also changed hands when Sasha Banks clinched her fourth women’s title on the main roster by defeating Alexa Bliss. It was a special win for Banks as it was her first title win on pay per view and her first victory on a special event program at Barclays (i.e. at SummerSlam and the first NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn in 2015).

Sheamus and Cesaro lost the RAW Tag Team Championship to the newly reunited Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins. With the RAW Tag Team Championship win, Ambrose enters his first tag team championship reign, while Rollins starts his second reign. Ambrose also becomes the latest WWE Grand Slam champion, having previously won the primary championship (WWE Championship in June 2016) and secondary championship (Intercontinental Championship in 2015 and United States Championship in 2013).

WWE Champion Jinder Mahal retained his title, defeating Shinsuke Nakamura with another interference from The Singh Brothers. He and the Singhs spoke to Dasha Fuentes after the match.
