Report: Plans For This Year's WWE SummerSlam Revealed
The first-ever two-night SummerSlam is quickly approaching. And we now have a lot more information regarding WWE's plans for this very important event.
According to Dave Meltzer in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, the proposed card for the event three weeks ago had a match between Roman Reigns and Bron Breakker scheduled. Either as a singles match, or a potential tag match which would see Reigns team up with Jey Uso to take on Breakker and Bronson Reed.
At one point, a potential singles match between Jey and Bronson had also been pitched.
But with these being the proposed matches three weeks ago. Which was well before Seth Rollins' supposed injury at Saturday Night's Main Event. This certainly builds the case that Rollins' injury at the event was a work.
As for what match is scheduled to main event each night, as of three weeks ago, the Undisputed WWE Championship match between John Cena and Cody Rhodes is scheduled to headline night two, with a potential unnamed stipulation being added to the bout.
The World Heavyweight Championship match between CM Punk and Gunther was set to headline night one.
Stay tuned to WrestleZone for more information on the WWE SummerSlam card as it becomes available.

Taylor Swift to 'take the high road' over Denise Welch jibes
Taylor Swift plans to 'take the high road' after being slammed by ex-boyfriend Matt Healy's mother Denise Welch. The 35-year-old superstar and the 36-year-old 1975 frontman briefly dated following her split from actor Joe Alwyn, in April 2023 and Taylor went on to reference their relationship in her album The Tortured Poets Department. During a recent appearance on Watch What Happens Live, Matt's mother Denise insisted it was unfair that Matt couldn't talk about the relationship. She said: 'Obviously, on pain of death can I talk about that episode, but being her mother-in-law is a role that I am glad I lost. 'Not that I have anything against [Taylor] at all! It was just – it was tricky. 'Listen, you're not allowed to say anything, and then she [Taylor] writes a whole album about it.' However, Taylor – who has been happily dating NFL star Travis Kelce for the past few years - plans to ignore Denise's jibes. A source told 'It's a bit obnoxious in Taylor's eyes, but she has to take the high road. 'If there was anything that would be in a future song of Taylor's – if she were ever to respond – she would respond that way. But as of right now, she might just let it slide. She is not going to let Denise ruin her day. 'Taylor respected Denise and will continue to do so, as this will go away very quickly. 'But if Denise continues to talk about it and bash Taylor, then Taylor would say something. The ball is still in Denise's court to see if she wants to continue the narrative she brought upon herself.'

‘Fantastic Four: First Steps': Marvel finally made a movie you don't need a guide to follow
MoviesFacebookTweetLink Follow Maybe 'superhero fatigue' is a thing of the past – with DC's 'Superman' still soaring in theaters, Marvel's 'Fantastic Four' reboot is set to join the fun this weekend, with positive momentum. The new movie featuring Marvel's First Family, as they're known, is not a sequel, prequel, spinoff or crossover, but a fresh take on a historic group of superheroes. No prior Marvelpedia knowledge is required to enjoy. That might sound like no big deal, but after 2023's 'The Marvels,' this spring's fourth 'Captain America' movie and 'Thunderbolts*' all underperformed by Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) standards, the new 'Fantastic Four' may offer broader audience appeal by not pulling from other franchises. And while there are definite Easter eggs (this is a comic book movie based on characters dating back to 1961, after all), the movie is what you'd call no-strings-attached fun. Most of that has to do with a welcome course-correction after the last two attempts at 'Fantastic Four' (there was the suite of Chris Evans/Jessica Alba-starring movies from the aughts, followed by a largely forgettable attempt featuring Miles Teller a decade ago). This go-round is highly stylized as a retro-futuristic world a la The Jetsons (where is that movie, by the way?) that honors the 1960s-era origins of the titular foursome. There's also a game cast, including Pedro Pascal, whose three films out this season – oh wait, make that four – still feel like not enough Pedro. Add to that Vanessa Kirby, 'Stranger Things' breakout Joseph Quinn – plus 'The Bear's' Ebon-Moss Bachrach as perhaps the most charming of the quartet, even though he's covered in a rocky mug – and the result is an engaging movie that focuses on family (in addition to some intergalactic baddies). 'First Steps' doesn't even refer to the Four by their decidedly silly superhero names (the Human Torch does sound like an obsolete infomercial product, if we're being honest), but rather introduces them as a man, his wife, his best friend and his brother-in-law. They exhibit their superpowers, but their collective expertise as scientists and astronauts prove equally valuable. After a busy and tumultuous few years in the ever-sprawling MCU, fans and casual viewers alike will have a breather after this weekend's release, since 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day,' the studio's next major theatrical tentpole, isn't coming out for another full calendar year and change. With any luck, that will be just enough time for everyone to get another round of zzz's before another dizzying superhero superstorm commences. 'The Fantastic Four: First Steps' is out in theaters Friday. 'Superman' is distributed by Warner Bros., which is owned by CNN's parent company.

Is ‘The View' going on hiatus? What to know after Joy Behar's comments
As President Donald Trump continues to feud with the entertainment industry, of which he was once a part, speculations have emerged that another fan-favorite show is being slashed. ABC Network's "The View" has found itself in dispute with the Trump administration, with a White House spokesperson suggesting the long-time talk show could be coming to an end. During a July 23 episode, co-host Joy Behar remarked that Trump is jealous of former President Barack Obama because 'Obama is everything that he is not.' She added that, unlike Trump, Obama is 'trim, smart, handsome, happily married, and can sing Al Green's song 'Let's Stay Together' better than Al Green. And Trump cannot stand it." "It's driving him crazy,' she added. Earlier this month, CBS announced the cancellation of the late-night comedy 'The Late Show with Stephen Colbert' after 33 years, a decision Trump celebrated on social media. White House responds White House Assistant Press Secretary Taylor Rogers responded to Behar's comments by referring to the comedian as 'an irrelevant loser suffering from a severe case of Trump Derangement Syndrome.' 'It's no surprise that The View's ratings hit an all-time low last year. She should self-reflect on her own jealousy of President Trump's historic popularity before her show is the next to be pulled off air,' Rogers said in a statement. 'I'm allowed to say that, right?' The following day, Thursday, July 24, Behar revealed the daytime talk show was getting ready to go on summer break. 'Before we go on hiatus, we only have one more show after this,' Behar, 82, announced at the top of the program before looking off-camera and asking colleagues, 'I'm allowed to say that, right?' While co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin joked, "Too late now," Joy continued, saying: "Before we go, I wanted to tell people that the tide is tide is turning, and things are changing. I mean, the ultimate irony would be that Rupert Murdoch will take him down." Need a break? Play the USA TODAY Daily Crossword Puzzle. Is 'The View' being cancelled? ABC Network declined to comment on the exchange. Behar's manager, Bill Stankey, said, 'On behalf of me……..Release the Epstein files' when asked for a comment. In May, Attorney General Pam Bondi reportedly told Trump that his name appears several times throughout the criminal case files on the late financier and convicted sex offender Epstein, according to CNN and the Wall Street Journal. Co-host Whoopi Goldberg, in the July 24 episode, announced the show is going on a break and will return in September 2025 for the new season. "Here's what's going on," Goldberg said. "We will see you all tomorrow (July 25) for another new show, and we'll be back for our new season in September." "The View" takes about a month-long break in August every summer, and it appears the "hiatus" Behar was referring to was not unusual for the show, which just wrapped up its 28th season. How did this start? The latest tension between the White House and 'The View' began after an Oval Office meeting with Philippines President Ferdinand Marcos Jr on July 22, when Trump accused Obama of treason. Later that day, Obama addressed a July 18 report from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence that claimed the former president 'manufactured and politicized intelligence" to undermine Trump's presidential victory over former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in 2016. Obama dismissed the allegations against him, calling them the typical 'nonsense and misinformation' emerging from the Trump administration. He noted the U.S. intelligence community's conclusion that Russia tried to influence the 2016 election. On the next morning's episode of 'The View,' Behar defended Obama with a sly remark about Trump and the overrunning of the US Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. 'First of all, who tried to overthrow the government on Jan. 6? Who was that again? That was not Obama,' she quipped. Who are the hosts of 'The View'? The daytime talk show is co-hosted by: Whoopi Goldberg Joy Behar Sunny Hostin Sara Haines Alyssa Farah Griffin Ana Navarro When does 'The View' air? 'The View' airs Monday through Friday from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. ET on ABC. Episodes are also available to stream on Hulu.
