Kevin Owens, who has been out of action for over a year due to injury, was added to the No. 1 contender's match between Sami Zayn and Finn Balor. The bout was turned into a Fatal 4-Way by SmackDown general manager Nick Aldis, who also added Gunther into the mix.

MINNEAPOLIS, MN. -- SummerSlam Sunday has ended, bringing the 2026 edition of the 'Biggest Party of the Summer' to a close. After an incredible night one, the WWE somehow matched its effort from a night ago and surpassed it in some regards.
Let's not waste any time, and get straight into the results from SummerSlam Sunday.
Kevin Owens defeats Sami Zayn, Finn Balor and Gunther to become the No. 1 contender for the WWE Championship
After the amazing opening match between Iyo Sky and Liv Morgan last night, the WWE understood the ******* ignment for tonight's opener. It was supposed to be a singles match between Finn Balor and Sami Zayn, but right before the bell rang, reinstated SmackDown GM Nick Aldis announced he'd be adding a competitor. It was Gunther, the man who defeated Aldis last night. Aldis then let Gunther enter the ring, before he announced one more addition to the match, a returning Kevin Owens. U.S. Bank Stadium absolutely erupted, as the crowd favorite was finally back after over 15 months of dealing with a neck injury.
That energy they gave KO remained for the entirety of this fun match. Owens came out of the gates hot, hitting swanton bombs all over the place, inside the ring and out. The match also saw the long awaited face-off between Sami and Owens who have a long history. The two hugged it out before mutually agreeing it was time to tear each other apart. Possibly the best spot of this match came when Gunther had Sami in the sleeper, and Finn Balor went up and simultaneously hit the Coup de Grace on Sami. Later, after giving stunners out to Balor and Gunther, Kevin and Sami battled it out one last time, when KO delivered a super kick, followed it up with a stunner, and pinned his best friend to earn the number one contendership, much to the delight of the crowd. Michael Cole said it best post match, "Welcome to the KO Show." The upcoming feud between him and CM Punk should be great.

WWE SummerSlam 2026 delivered arguably the biggest bout WWE could possibly do in CM Punk vs. Cody Rhodes.
A true dream match that was once set for WrestleMania 43, Punk vs. Rhodes pinned two WWE cornerstones against one another a few years after their infamous departures from AEW. In the weeks leading up to SummerSlam, Rhodes and Punk kept things relatively civil, but inside U.S. Bank Stadium, the gloves came off.
Punk and Rhodes went head-to-head for WWE's biggest prize, the Undisputed WWE Championship, on Night One of SummerSlam 2026.

MINNEAPOLIS, MN —The WWE's 'Biggest Party of the Summer' is now less than 24 hours away, as SummerSlam 2026 will take place Saturday and Sunday live from U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
SummerSlam has something to offer for every WWE fan. From the two dream matches, one of which will be the main event each night, to the matches with crazy stipulations to some longtime feuds coming to a potential end.
As a way to preview the second biggest PLE of the year, I have put together a list of the five matches I am most excited for.
5. Gunther vs. Nick Aldis
WWE has been teasing SmackDown GM Nick Aldis' in-ring return for some time now after his mini-feuds with Drew McIntyre and Randy Orton, and are now finally cashing in, giving Aldis a tall task against the 'Ring General' Gunther. I am excited for this match for one main reason. Nick Aldis has been a professional wrestler for over 20 years. He started in the UK, before moving over to TNA and NWA where he held world championships in both. He has flourished in his GM role, but seeing him back in the ring, and for many fans seeing him in the ring for the first time, will do much more for him than continuing as GM would. For one, the WWE is putting him back in the ring at SummerSlam, which tells me they trust him. Also, having him feud with Gunther, in a rivalry that has been very entertaining, especially seeing Aldis absolutely lose it and be 'forced' to get back in the ring, gives him breathing room. Even if he loses the match, which he should and probably will because Gunther needs this win, he can certainly 'win' the WWE Universe over by putting up a stellar and exciting performance. I can't wait to see how Aldis does.

July 10 (Reuters) - Spanish biologist and soccer fan Jesus Ortea has named a newly discovered species of sea snail in honour of Vozinha, the Cape Verde goalkeeper who stunned fans by denying all goal attempts by Spain in his World Cup debut.
Ortea discovered the tiny, bright red mollusc, now named Aldisa vozinha, in the Caribbean and timed his announcement to coincide with the World Cup.
"We have chosen the name vozinha in honour of Vozinha ... who played a prominent role in his country's World Cup debut against The Reds (Spain)," Ortea said in his paper.
"The colouration of the species is intended as a tribute to that achievement."
Vozinha, 40, became one of the breakout stars of the tournament, helping his country reach the Round of 32, where he again distinguished himself in a dramatic extra-time loss to world champions Argentina.
