Can’t Spell P*dophile Without “Phil”

WWE returns to Saudi Arabia for the third time this year with an event synonymous with the country. It pits the top champions against each other to determine the best of the best and winner of the Crown Jewel Championship. On the men's side, old foes meet again in Roman Reigns and Sami Zayn, while the women will feature established star Liv Morgan going up against the rising Chelsea Green.

After going to BOTH, Billi breaks down last Sunday’s All In PPV and last night’s edition of Sunday Night’s Main Event.  The All In clash between Will Ospreay and Kenny Omega has been widely considered an all-time classic main event. Other reviewers highlighted the intense, bloody-nosed physical drama, Ospreay's brutal Tiger Driver, and the emotional weight of Ospreay winning the title in front of his home-country crowd. Other notable matches included Adam Copeland and Christian Cage retaining against the Young Bucks in a hard-hitting tag team bout, and Kazuchika Okada defeating Kyle Fletcher and Konosuke Takeshita for the International Championship.   WWE’s Sunday Night’s Main Event was headlined by a deeply personal rematch from WrestleMania 42, as Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton put on a highly aggressive showcase. The finish strongly implies that a third rubber match with a major stipulation is on the horizon. One of the most praised segments of the night was the heavyweight clash between Oba Femi and Bron Breakker. Introduced by Paul Heyman, both powerhouses put on a physical masterclass before the match ended in a disqualification, when a returning Bronson Reed —out for over six months with a torn biceps— stormed the ring, reunited with The Vision faction. 

Billi deep delves into what was a very good week of wrestling, but not before he runs through some topics of interests that landed on his radar via wrestling social media, including CM Punk’s fascination with young girls on the roster, Russo’s continuous lies and Conrad Thompson’s continued hatred of Roman Reigns. 

Billi exposes 4 of the biggest agenda driven hypocritical frauds in the wrestling content space. 

SummerSlam is officially in the history books, as WWE took over the U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, Minnesota for SummerSlam Sunday. The show featured some blockbuster matche, including Roman Reigns vs. Seth Rollins for the World Heavyweight Championship, which main evented the Sunday card. Billi breaks down both nights, giving his star ratings for all 12 matches. 

The biggest party of the summer is back and will once again be in the two-night format. The first night of action will be held Saturday, Aug. 1, at US Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and will be followed by another night of action on Sunday, Aug. 2.

SummerSlam has been a WWE staple event since 1988. Some of WWE's most iconic matches have occurred at SummerSlam, including Bret Hart vs. his brother, Owen, in a classic steel cage match (1994), the first TLC match (2000), Shawn Michaels' in-ring return against Triple H (2002) and CM Punk vs. Brock Lesnar (2013). With 38 years of SummerSlam PPV’s to take to account, Billi tries to formulate his list of all-time top 10 SummerSlam matches.

SummerSlam 2021 brought in 51,000, 2022 had over 48,000, 2023’s event 51,000, 2024 had a massive 57,000, and 2025’s two-night event saw 53,000 and 60,000 respectively. However, SummerSlam 2026 is struggling to even get over 30,000 on either night thus far, with things looking like they’re heading towards the lowest attendance since 2020 (when there were zero fans in attendance), even though tickets are being priced up as low as $25 each. It was only 10 months ago when Mark Shapiro said: ”Vince McMahon was primarily pricing tickets for families and wasn’t totally focused on maxing the opportunity there. We see what we can do with the UFC and we’re replicating that in terms of ticket yield and advance sales when it comes to OnLocation on the WWE side. It’s really working out well.”   Looking at the SummerSlam situation, that comment doesn’t seem to he aging very well, and it begs the question, “are the WWE getting their karma” for their unrealistic expectations and extortionate greed? 

Billi provides a live in-person report on WWE’s Clash in Italy PLE. The show emanated from Turin, Italy and saw Cody Rhodes, Roman Reigns and Rhea Ripley all successfully retained their titles, while Sol Ruca defeated Becky Lynch for the Intercontinental Championship. However, the show was arguably stolen by Brock Lesnar evening the score against Oba Femi, in an unforgettable and perfectly booked 7 minute booking masterpiece.
