Logan Paul secured a contentious victory over Ricochet in the opening match at SummerSlam. Fuelled by weeks of trash talk and previous encounters, Paul claimed the win with the aid of brass knucks provided by his «Impaulsive» podcast colleague, Jeff Wittek. The match was a spectacle of high-flying maneuvers and daring stunts, reminiscent of their viral mid-air collision at the Royal Rumble. Paul left a lasting impression by executing a Strowmanesque running powerslam and paying homage to wrestling icon Hulk Hogan with a series of signature moves, including the self-proclaimed «Hogan Paul» leg drop. Ricochet showed remarkable resilience, countering with a tribute to The Rock's People's Elbow and a spectacular moonsault.

Food Bank events. They have been replaced by Gladys Knight. The musical comedy duo, Blues Brothers – Jim Belushi and Dan Aykroyd, have withdrawn from two upcoming fundraisers due to the SAG-AFTRA strike. They were set to headline Oceana’s Rock Under the Stars on August 12 and LA Regional Food Bank’s “A Million Reasons” Celebration on August 13. Aykroyd explained, “We're saddened to step back as Blues Brothers for Oceana and LA Regional Food Bank causes. SAG-AFTRA rules bar characters from TV and films at concerts and conventions. It's disappointing to miss these worthy events, but we stand with the union.” In 1978, Blues Brothers started on Saturday Night Live, later becoming a film by John Landis in 1980. As per SAG’s guidelines, the union’s 160,000 affected members can't do on-camera work or promotional activities like conventions, premieres, interviews, festivals, FYC events, award shows and podcasts. Charity events have largely avoided strike issues, but Blues Brothers, appearing as characters, is an exception. Gladys Knight steps in, headlining both events before her Hollywood Bowl show on August 15. The guests which have been confirmed at Oceana include Ted Danson, Mary Steenburgen, Woody Harrelson and Sam Waterston. The Food Bank event is expected to include Danson, Steenburgen, Waterston, Jeff Goldblum, Dylan McDermott as celebrity sous chefs for the cause.
