SEATTLE, WA - MAY 27: Starter Luis Castillo #58 of the Seattle Mariners celebrates after a striking out Carlos Santana #41 of the Pittsburgh Pirates to end the top half of the sixth inning of a game at T-Mobile Park on May 27, 2023 in Seattle, Washington. (Photo by Stephen Brashear/Getty Images) | Getty ImagesWhen Castillo was brought in at the 2022 trade deadline, my whole perspective on this franchise shifted. Riding a 14-game winning streak, the Mariners found themselves in a playoff spot at the deadline. It was time. A top-10 prospect and a top-50 prospect plus two depth pieces was a high price, but I was sure Castillo was worth it. And for as good as Castillo was, its hard to overstate how much that trade meant. It was a signal about who the Mariners were as a franchise. They were in it for real.And as for the man himself, I was smitten right away. Meeting up with the team in New York, Castillo dyed the end of his hair teal and blue to replace the Cincinnati Red. He was all in. He struck out 8 Yankees over 6.2 innings, picking up the first of his 43 wins in a Mariners uniform. The fact that the Mariners had outbid the Yankees to get Castillo only sweetened the moment, underlining Castillos meaning. He followed that up in his first home start at T-Mobile by facing the Yankees again, pitching eight shutout innings in the best game Ive ever seen. Those were the first two of 11 starts he ripped off to close out 2022 with a 3.17 ERA and a strikeout rate of 28.9%.On a team that lacked a frontline starter, he was the obvious choice to start Game 1 of the Wild Card Round. The only swear word in the Sun Hat Award record book refers to why he won the award that day: for kicking the shit out of the Blue Jays in Seattles first postseason game in 21 years. His final line that day? 7.1 IP, 0 R, 6 H, 5 K, 0 BB, 19 whiffs. He averagedaveraged100 mph on both his four-seamer and his two-seamer. Luis Castillo was the proof. The Mariners had arrived.He followed that up with an All-Star 2023. His final numbers belie how elite that season was. He pitched at least five innings in 32 of his 33 starts, living up to his La Piedra nickname. His 3.01 ERA and K-BB% of 21.8% through August had him entering the seasons final month in the pole position for the Cy Young Award.Along the way, he was always the showman, even helping keep things light through the teams struggles, using his signature flex to joke around with Shohei Ohtani. And he fought to keep the team in the running, collecting 22 whiffs in the game that saw his 1,000th career strikeout. It was a season that saw the MLB debuts of Bryce Miller, Bryan Woo, and Emerson Hancock. Certainly each of them was impressive as a rookie, but its easy to forget in retrospect how much they struggled and how much it mattered that Castillo was there to keep the ship steady.As the team scuffled through 2024, Castillo was a shining beacon of competence. He was a key part of the rotations stretch of 21 consecutive games allowing 2 runs or fewer. One of those starts was his nine-strikeout dismantling of the Rockies as the snow fell in the Denver night, smacking down all the talk about how hes a hot-weather pitcher.It was the first year of his decline, but he was making adjustments to keep making it work, including a mid-game adjustment in a game against Anaheim to complete a sweep. That was one of several games when his fastest pitch of the night was his last one. Emptying the tank at the end is just one of many stratagems he shared with his rotationmates that helped them ascend to their own stardom.Castillos arrival really signaled something about the franchise. And if all he did was anchor the 2022 stretch run, that would have been enough. But as the years passed by, his legacy came into clearer focus. From the time Bryan Woo replaced Marco Gonzales in June 2023, this rotation belonged to Castillo. Yesterday, Logan Gilbert told Angie Mentink, Luis [always] told me after a bad outing, dont change anything. You dont need to change anything. La Piedra was such a steady, level-headed presence that he could even get that message through to his most neurotic teammate. Gilbert reports that after one particularly bad bullpen outing, He told me, Dont think too much, dont change too much, dont try too hard. . . . He knew the right words to say at the right time. He was always that way.Last year, the Mariners entered the season with the rotation as the unquestioned strength of the team, practically its whole identity. But while it was a strength, the starters struggled to stay on the field. Castillo was the only pitcher to make each and every one of his scheduled starts. Though he was no longer the front man of the rotation, he remained the rock. In that way, he was the man who led this franchise to its first division title in a quarter century. Its no wonder he was on the mound the night they clinched that title, striking out 10 over 7.1 innings of one-hit ball.Age comes for us all, and rosters turn over. Luis Castillo was the veteran who steadied the young team, and now the time has come for him to help shepherd another young team. The Mariners rotation is five home-grown grown-ups now. But they grew up under Luis Castillo, and thats a mark that wont be forgotten. When the Mariners celebrate their 100th season, hell be in the video highlights.Before todays game, Andrs Muoz said, Today is a sad day. I couldnt agree more. Castillo was a giant, and he gets a rare off-recap Sun Hat Award, his fifth and final one, in honor of his four years of exceptional service to the franchise, to the fan base, and to me. Gracias, La Piedra. La Piedra Para Siempre.

The Golden State Warriors have put together their teams through a variety of ways over the years, yet few approaches have proven as successful as the NBA draft. More than anything else, the most talented players to represent the Warriors have arrived in Golden State either by being selected directly in the annual draft or through trades executed on that same night.The Golden State Warriors have taken many of their top stars through the draft, but have also landed a number of notable players over the years as well. From tiny colleges to blue blood programs, these alumni have contributed significantly to the team's roster over the years. So, we chose to take a closer look at which Dubs came from which schools over the years.So without further ado, let's take a look at every player who has been drafted by the Warriors out of San Francisco State University.Joe Galbo - forwardDraft year and position: 10th round (7th pick, 109th overall), 1967 NBA DraftSeasons at San Francisco State University: unknownSeasons played with Warriors: did not make the teamJoe Callaghan - forwardDraft year and position: 12th round (6th pick, 161st overall), 1969 NBA DraftSeasons at San Francisco State University: unknownSeasons played with Warriors: did not make the teamGirard Chatman - forwardDraft year and position: 10th round (7th pick, 134th overall), 1969 NBA DraftSeasons at San Francisco State University: unknownSeasons played with Warriors: did not make the teamAll stats and data courtesy of Basketball Reference.This article originally appeared on Warriors Wire: Every San Francisco State University player drafted by the Golden State Warriors

With less than 24 hours remaining before Mondays MLB trade deadline, Jacob Misiorowski was not in the mood on Sunday to talk about it.The flame-throwing Milwaukee Brewers ace was likewise uninterested in talking about the rival Los Angeles Dodgers and their blockbuster acquisition of two-time Cy Young winner Tarik Skubal.This is all per Misiorowski, who was asked in Milwaukees clubhouse Sunday afternoon about all of the above. Heres his response when asked about the trade deadline in general:Im good, Im good, Misiorowski said while shaking his head. I dont want to answer it.When pressed specifically about the Dodgers, who acquired Skubal on Saturday, Misiorowski maintained his stance. Im good, you can just stop the question.You can just stop the question. -Jacob Misiorowski when asked about the Brewers and Dodgers trade deadlines(via @AdamMcCalvy) pic.twitter.com/FaTGIU1oPS Talkin' Baseball (@TalkinBaseball_) August 3, 2026Misiorowski and the reporters at his locker then shared an awkward chuckle.Why so quiet?While Misiorowski declined to directly answer the questions, his lack of a response spoke to the state of the trade deadlines impact on the race in the National League so far.The Dodgers and Brewers are the two best teams in the NL, and they left their respective losses Sunday tied with the best records in baseball at 69-42. The acquisition of Skubal was a dramatic game-changer for the Dodgers that significantly strenghtened their status as favorites to win the World Series.It also meant that the Brewers, who were reportedly actively seeking Skubal, didnt get the two-time Cy Young winner. And an NL race that most believed already favored a Dodgers team that swept the Brewers in last seasons NLCS is tilted further in Los Angeles favor.Its understandably not a pleasant topic of conversation for Misiorowski, especially considering that he was fresh off of being credited with Sundays loss after allowing two earned runs in a 3-0 defeat to the Los Angeles Angels. Can Milwaukee recover with a trade-deadline win?Does this mean that the trade deadline is a bust for Milwaukee? Not yet. The Brewers have so far added depth pieces in catcher Bo Naylor and reliever Codi Heuer, neither of whom is a game-changer or even a lock to make the postseason roster. They previously acquired pitcher Lance McCullers Jr., only to designate him for assignment after two appearances. Teams have until 6 p.m. ET Monday to make deals, plenty of time for the Brewers to make one or more game-changing moves. But as of Sunday, they had ceded advantageous ground to their top rival in the NL. And rather than saying something not nice on the topic, Misiorowski opted to say nothing at all.

The San Diego Padres rejected the Yankees' trade offer of right-handed starting pitcher Will Warren for left-handed reliever Adrian Morejon, according to a report Sunday evening by MLB.com's Bob Nightengale.Warren, 27, is under team control through the 2030 season. He is 8-5 with a 4.14 ERA and 1.36 WHIP in 108.2 IP over 22 games (21 starts) this season. His latest outing saw him allow four hits and stuck out seven batters in 6.2 scoreless IP of Friday's 2-0 win at the Chicago Cubs."He was awesome," Yankees manager Aaron Boone said of Warren after Friday's game. "... He was just super efficient, and that right there is what he's capable of when he's on his game."The 27-year-old Morejon, meanwhile, is a free agent after the 2026 season. In 60 frames through 52 games this season, the Padres' setup man has a 1.07 WHIP."At the end of the day, control what you can control," Warren said after Friday's game when asked about trade noise. "Like I said, whatever's going to happen is going to happen. So, that's never really been on my mind."I feel like, ever since I've been with the Yankees, that's been a thing, so I'm kind of used to it by now. But just taking it day by day and, again, whatever happens is going to happen."

Trying to crown a single "Greatest of All Time" in a country home to more than 1.4 billion people, one with a sporting story that stretches from colonial-era triumphs through mid-century Olympic glory to modern professional success, is no small task.To compare athletes across different generations, with varying equipment, training methods, and levels of global competition, means weighing not just numbers but also cultural weight, staying power, international standing, and how many barriers each individual actually broke.Below is a detailed ranking of India's five greatest male sportspersons, followed by five honourable mentions whose careers helped define the country's sporting journey just as powerfully.MAKE YOUR BET WITH DAFABET AND GET UP TO 200% WELCOME BONUSAdd The Sporting News as a preferred news source1. Major Dhyan Chand (Field Hockey)When it comes to sheer, sustained global dominance over an entire era, nobody in Indian sport sits above Major Dhyan Chand. Known everywhere as "The Wizard," he turned field hockey from a tactical game into something closer to performance art. Competing while India remained under British rule, Dhyan Chand and his teammates gave a colonised nation a rare taste of global pride.Dhyan Chand anchored India's first three Olympic hockey gold medals. At the 1928 Amsterdam Games, the team swept through the entire tournament without conceding a single goal, with Dhyan Chand personally scoring 14 goals across five matches, including a hat-trick in the final against the Netherlands despite playing through a fever.By Los Angeles 1932, his partnership with younger brother Roop Singh proved unstoppable, as India thrashed the United States 24-1 in the final. It was a scoreline that stood as a world record for 71 years, with Dhyan Chand contributing 8 goals and Roop Singh 10. As captain at the 1936 Berlin Olympics, playing under the shadow of Nazi propaganda, he led India through an unbeaten campaign that ended with an 8-1 demolition of Germany in the final.His Olympic scoring tally of 33 goals in 12 matches, nearly three per game, remains unmatched on that stage. Under his watch, India won every single Olympic match played between 1928 and 1936, scoring 102 goals while conceding just three. His birthday, August 29, is now marked as India's National Sports Day, and the country's top sporting honour carries his name.We're reliving Indian hockey's glorious past as @TheHockeyIndia inches closer to creating history in #HWC2018! First up is a #throwback to when Dhyan Chand led India to its maiden Olympic ! #DilHockeypic.twitter.com/kutXztRvt6 Star Sports (@StarSportsIndia) December 13, 20182.Sachin Tendulkar (Cricket)Australian batter Matthew Hayden once said watching him bat felt like witnessing something divine. For almost 25 years, Sachin Tendulkar didn't just play cricket for India; he carried the hopes and anxieties of a nation stepping onto the world stage. He debuted at 16 against a fearsome Pakistani pace attack in 1989 and did not look back.He remains the only batter in history to reach 100 international centuries, 51 in Tests and 49 in ODIs. His combined tally of 34,357 international runs, including the individual world records in both Tests (15,921) and ODIs (18,426), stands unmatched. He's also the only cricketer to have played 200 Test matches, alongside 463 ODI appearances. In February 2010, he became the first male batter to score a double century in a single ODI innings, an unbeaten 200 against South Africa in Gwalior. He remains the leading run-scorer in World Cup history with 2,278 runs at an average of 56.95.During the 1998 "Desert Storm" innings in Sharjah, he faced a world-class Australian attack that included Shane Warne and Glenn McGrath.Nonetheless, Tendulkar produced back-to-back masterclasses. In the first match, he played through an actual sandstorm that halted proceedings. Nonetheless, he scored 143 off 131 balls to drag India into the final. Two days later, on his 25th birthday, he made 134 to win the tournament, and Warne later admitted that Tendulkar haunted him in his dreams.Getty Images3. Viswanathan Anand (Chess)Chess great Garry Kasparov once called him a genius who single-handedly sparked a chess revolution across a nation of over a billion people. Before Viswanathan "Vishy" Anand arrived on the scene, India, despite being the birthplace of chess in its earliest form as Chaturanga, had never produced a single Grandmaster.By the height of his career, Anand had turned the country into a genuine chess powerhouse. He won world titles in every format the game offers, and broke through Western and Soviet dominance to inspire a whole new generation of Indian grandmasters.He won world titles across knockout format in 2000, tournament format in 2007, and match play in 2008, 2010, and 2012. He remains the only player in chess history to hold world titles in knockout, tournament, match, rapid, and blitz formats. He also held the World No. 1 ranking continuously for 21 months between 2007 and 2008.In 2007, he became the first Indian sportsperson to receive the Padma Vibhushan, the country's second-highest civilian honour, having already been the first-ever recipient of the Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna back in 1991-92.Early in his career, Anand earned the nickname "Lightning Kid" for how quickly he calculated moves. While rivals spent hours dissecting positions, Anand would produce grandmaster-level moves within seconds, and even sometimes finished four-hour games using only 15 to 20 minutes of his own clock.Perhaps his most dramatic test came in 2010, en route to defending his title against Veselin Topalov in Sofia, Bulgaria, when the eruption of Iceland's Eyjafjallajokull volcano grounded flights across Europe. Rather than forfeiting, Anand and his team endured a gruelling 40-hour, 2,000-kilometre road journey by van across the continent. Naturally, he was exhausted on arrival; lost the opening game but fought back to win on the very last day, on Bulgarian soil.4. Neeraj Chopra (Track & Field - Javelin)There's a saying that when Neeraj Chopra throws, the entire country holds its breath before erupting in celebration. Chopra broke through a barrier that had stood for over a century in Indian Olympic sport.Before him, India had never won a single Olympic medal in track and field. His gold medal shattered a psychological wall among Indian athletes and instilled a belief that Indians could outclass the world's best in track and field events.Neeraj wonOlympic gold, throwing 87.58m in Tokyo. He followed that up with silver at Paris 2024 with a throw of 89.45m, which made him one of only five Indian individual multi-medal Olympians.He has repeatedly broken his own national record and pushed his personal best to 90.23m. In fact, he put together a run of finishing in the top two at 26 straight major international meets between 2021 and 2025, until a lower back injury stopped his juggernaut.Recently, he won the silver medal at the Commonwealth Games 2026 in Glasgow.(getty)5. Abhinav Bindra (Shooting - 10m Air Rifle)Abhinav Bindra once said that failure is a constant companion in elite sport, and success is only ever a fleeting moment. Until August 11, 2008, India, despite competing at the Olympics for over a century, had never won an individual gold medal, as every gold the country owned belonged to the field hockey team.Bindra changed that permanently on a Monday morning in Beijing. He became one of the few shooters in history to simultaneously hold world and Olympic titles, having won both the 2006 World Championship and 2008 Olympic gold. He represented India across five consecutive Olympics from 2000 to 2016. He finished fourth in his final appearance in Rio. In 2018, he received the ISSF Blue Cross, the sport's highest honour.It was reported that just 45 minutes before the qualification round in Beijing in 2008, an official accidentally knocked over Bindra's rifle. Rather than panic, he recalibrated the sight himself under intense time pressure, still qualified for the final, and went on to shoot the best series of his career.In his pursuit of controlling his heart rate and nerves during high-pressure finals, he even trained with Swiss Special Forces commandos. He would climb tall logs and balance on elevated platforms to condition his mind to stay focused through physical fear.Honourable mentions who shaped Indian sportWhile the following five athletes narrowly missed the top five, their statistics, cultural influence, and historic breakthroughs make them essential figures in India's sporting story.Sunil Chhetri (Football)Sunil Chhetri anchored Indian football for over two decades, after taking over the mantle from Bhaichung Bhutia. He set new standards of professionalism and fitness that helped him push boundaries despite India's modest FIFA ranking.He finished his international career with 94 goals from 151 caps, which placed him fourth on the all-time men's international scoring list, behind only Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Ali Daei. He won the national Player of the Year award a record seven times and captained India to the 2008 AFC Challenge Cup title.In June 2018, after a poorly attended Intercontinental Cup match against Kenya, he posted an emotional video urging fans to fill the stadium, even if it meant coming just to criticise the team. The video went viral, and the stadium sold out completely for his 100th cap, in which he scored twice in a 3-0 win.Getty ImagesKapil Dev (Cricket)Kapil Dev brought express pace ability to a cricketing nation that had traditionally leaned on spin. He played all 131 of his Test matches without missing a single game to injury. In short, his all-round capabilities redefined what Indian cricket could expect from its players.As a 24-year-old captain, he led India to a stunning 1983 World Cup win over two-time defending champions West Indies in the Lord's final. That result transformed India into cricket's commercial powerhouse and brought a renaissance to the sport.He remains the only player in history to combine 4,000 Test runs with 400 Test wickets, and briefly held the record for most Test wickets ever, passing Richard Hadlee's tally in 1994 with 434 scalps.During that 1983 World Cup, facing near-elimination at 17 for 5 against Zimbabwe, Kapil Dev played a counter-attacking unbeaten 175 off 138 balls that single-handedly rescued India's campaign.Pankaj Advani (Cue Sports - Billiards & Snooker)Pankaj Advani has sustained a level of international dominance in cue sports that few athletes anywhere have matched across multiple decades. He excelled in both billiards and snooker. He has racked up 27 world titles across formats and remains the only cueist ever to hold World, Asian, and National titles in both disciplines at once.He also competed successfully on the professional English snooker circuit before returning home to represent India at the amateur level. In 2003, at just 18, he travelled to Jiangyin, China, and won his first World Snooker title, to become the youngest Indian to do so. That victory began an unbroken streak of winning at least one major title nearly every year for over twenty years.Leander Paes (Tennis)Leander Paes' bronze medal in men's singles at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics ended a 44-year individual Olympic medal drought for India dating back to KD Jadhav in 1952.He completed a career grand slam in both men's doubles and mixed doubles. He shared the court alongside legends including Mahesh Bhupathi, Martina Navratilova, and Martina Hingis, and became the first tennis player in history to compete at seven consecutive Olympics, from Barcelona 1992 through Rio 2016.He also holds the all-time Davis Cup record for doubles wins with 44 victories. One must remember that he headed into Atlanta 1996 unseeded. Moreover, he suffered a wrist injury against Andre Agassi in the semi-final. Despite the physical setback, Paes fought back from a set down to beat Brazil's Fernando Meligeni in the bronze medal match.Getty ImagesMilkha Singh (Track & Field - Sprinting)Milkha Singh, famously known as 'The Flying Sikh', overcame the trauma of Partition, during which he lost family members and fled as an orphaned refugee, to become independent India's first track and field star. After joining the Indian Army, he discovered his talent for sprinting and thereby built his stamina through gruelling routines that included racing against steam trains.He won gold in the 440 yards at the 1958 Commonwealth Games in Cardiff, to become the first athlete from independent India to win a Commonwealth Games track and field gold. He swept the 200m and 400m at the 1958 Asian Games in Tokyo, then added the 400m and 4x400m relay golds at the 1962 Jakarta Games.At the 1960 Rome Olympics, he finished fourth in a now-famous photo-finish 400m final. However, in that race he set a national record of 45.73 seconds that stood for nearly 40 years. His iconic nickname 'The Flying Sikh'came from Pakistan's General Ayub Khan in 1960. He was initially reluctant to compete in Pakistan given his painful memories of Partition. However, Singh was persuaded by Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru to race Pakistani sprint champion Abdul Khaliq in Lahore. He beat Khaliq comfortably, prompting Ayub Khan to tell him during the medal ceremony that"Milkha, you didn't run in Pakistan; you flew."DafabetMAKE YOUR BET WITH DAFABET AND GET UP TO 200% WELCOME BONUSCLICK TO BET

Reigns and Rollins hit their infamous Shield pose one final time.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.Lets 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 ChampionshipAfter the amazing opening match between Iyo Sky and Liv Morgan last night, the WWE understood the assignment for tonights 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.Baron Corbin defeats Trick Williams (c) to win the United States ChampionshipSince Baron Corbin returned to the WWE a few weeks ago, it is clear that the creative team is trying to market him as a beast who is better than ever and is now a serious threat to everyone. Corbin dominated the early goings with his ruthless aggression. Lil Yachty got involved, before being slammed into the barricade by Corbin. After more back and forth in which Trick got off some offense but was mostly being overpowered, Corbin again caught Yachty on the ring apron, before Trick punched Corbin, causing him to push Yachty off the ring apron into a table that had earlier been set up. Corbin capitalized on the distracted referee, clocking Trick with the custom U.S. title and hitting the End of Days, pinning Trick to become the new champion. The crowd doesnt seem convinced of Corbin, but with this quick push, Im intrigued to see where they go next. As for Trick, he is extremely over with the crowd, and maybe not having the title could allow him to move up in the SmackDown rankings.5-Way Interim WWE Women's Championship Ladder Match: Charlotte Flair vs. Jade Cargill vs. Tiffany Stratton vs. Chelsea Green vs. Lash LegendLadder matches and big WWE PLEs are like strawberries and bananas, they just go together beautifully, and they hit every time. This time around was no different, as these women came out and put on a hard-hitting show for the electric Minnesota crowd. Lash Legend, who just earned her spot in this match on Friday, shined in this grueling style of match. At one point, she was on the top with Stratton and threw her into the air before power slamming her down into the ladder. After more action in which every woman nearly won this match, the electric finishing sequence began. Chelsea Green first ran up to her recent best friend Stratton who was alone on the ladder, and pushed her off to the outside. Green then scaled the ladder and had the title won, before Cargills goons Michin and B-Fab attacked her, leaving her feet hanging from the ladder and her head parallel to the floor. After the other women came back and all took each other out, Green opened her eyes, and at the same time as the crowd, realized she was all alone. They stood up and screamed as she pulled herself up and scaled the ladder as quickly as she could and grabbed the title, sending the place into a frenzy. Chelsea Green is the interim WWE Womens Champion.Danhousen vs Dominik Mysterio - Human Monies on a PoleIn a night full of championship and contendership matches, the Danhausen vs Dirty Dom Mysterio Human Monies on a Pole match survived as the outlier. Any match that has Danhausen in it is going to be the entertainment part of the night, and it was no different this time around. JD McDonaugh came out to help Mysterio, before the Minihausens came out and wreaked havoc on the Judgement Day. When it seemed like Mysterio would claim the money, Joe Hendry came out and clobbered JD with a guitar, before helping Danhousen topple Mysterio, on his way to claiming the Monies and winning the match.Chad Gable defeats Penta (c) to win the Intercontinental ChampionshipSome stories are too perfect not to tell. Chad Gable has been one of the best wrestlers in the WWE for years, but had never held a singles title coming into SummerSlam Sunday. He lost to Penta and then went on a journey to mock Luchador wrestling. He ended up respecting the art of Lucha Libre and having one of the greatest matches in WWE history in the El Grande Americano Mask vs Mask match on May 30th. He has since earned the forgiveness of the Luchadors and people he offended, and earned the number one contendership for the IC title. It just so happens that the IC champion is Penta, the man who sent Gable down a spiral, and it just so happens that SummerSlam 2026 is in Gables hometown. The opportunity was right there for the WWE, the story too perfect not to tell. Gable came down to ringside and hugged his family, before he and Penta exchanged words of respect, and the action began. Both superstars played to their strengths, with Penta moving early and often, and Gable relying on the slower more methodical route, hitting a flurry of German suplexes. Gable hurt his shoulder in the middle part of the match, and was nursing it throughout the remainder, which Penta tried to take advantage of. Both wrestlers loved using the ring apron, as Gable hit Penta with a German on the apron, when Penta responded with a Mexican Destroyer there as well. Just when all looked bad for Gable, he was able to counter Pentas destroyer attempt inside the ring, when he grabbed hold of his ankle, and synched in the ankle lock. Poetically, Penta just barely got his fingers on the bottom rope when Gable pulled back, sat down and locked it in even deeper in the middle of the ring, forcing Penta to tap out. The story was too perfect not to tell, and the WWE told it. Gable then cried as he accepted his title from the referee, and was shown respect by Penta. His family entered the ring to celebrate, and he cut a promo similar to the one he did after the Mask vs Mask match, stating his name, acknowledging his raucous home fans, and realizing he had accomplished his dream. Well done WWE.Roman Rollins defeats Seth Rollins to retain the WWE World Heavyweight ChampionshipIf I take you through everything that happened in this match, youd be reading for an hour. Allow me to try my best to paint the picture of this SummerSlam main event. It was brilliant. It was transcendent. It was five stars. It lived up to the expectations that come with this stage, while also shattering all of them into pieces. These two titans of the industry, after coming into the game together, finally got their payoff match, and wow, did it deliver. Both men stood and just took in the big match feel even after the bell rang, further drilling the importance of this into everyone's minds. The early goings were aggressive as youd imagine, including a few minutes outside the ring where the referee gave Seth and Roman leeway to destroy each other. Roman hit his shield-style powerbomb to Seth through one announce table, while Seth then countered him and returned the favor through the other table. Back inside the ring, the storytelling and the action was just getting started. We saw Roman hit a spear and Seth hit a stomp. Kickouts. We saw Seth hit Roman with a spear, and Roman reply with a buckle bomb and a stomp. Kickouts. We saw Roman lock in the guillotine for over a minute. Seth found a way out. Seth hit Roman with a Dean Ambrose-style rebound clothesline, and Roman hit him back with Ambroses signature Dirty-Deeds. Both answered by kickouts. Shortly after came the bulk of the story. Roman accidentally knocked the referee out of the ring, when Seth hit him with a stomp, and went to grab a steel chair, the weapon that ended the Shield 12 years ago. Roman countered and took the chair from Seth, when he thought about everything. He thought first about the betrayal Seth caused to him 12 years ago when he put the chair through his back. He then thought about how he hit Seth with the chair at WrestleMania 40, but it cost him. He threw the chair down this time, he and Seth came together in the middle of the ring, a mutual agreement that they would end this fair and square. You could feel the tension in the ring and the anticipation in the building. Seth countered a Roman spear attempt with a pedigree which he has done many times, before going for a super stomp, which Roman countered, and turned into a pair of spears. After the second, Roman knew it was over. While the referee was getting back into the ring, Roman said to Seth its always been me and you, before hitting one last spear and finally beating Seth, putting an end to this lifetime feud between the two. After celebrating, Roman made the gesture of putting his fist into the middle of the ring, as the Shield used to do, before Seth got up and joined fists with him, acknowledging the history and the storytelling between the two.Overall Show ReviewIn my opinion, SummerSlam nights one and two amounted to the best PLE product of the year. Honestly, both night one and two individually have an argument to be called better than any other night of PLE this year. The stories that the WWE was able to tell, the returns, the drama, the 2.99 kickouts, the turning of new pages, the respect between superstars, all of it was special. All of it felt worthy of an event that the WWE is trying to put on par with WrestleMania. Funny enough, the times WWE creative has seemed to struggle the most this year has been between PLE cycles, with not featuring certain superstars enough or repeating storylines. But at the PLEs themselves, since WrestleMania night two especially, things have been top tier and delivering on all cylinders. Tune back in tomorrow to see more on the aftermath of SummerSlam, and new stories beginning on Raw.
