With CM Punk the new WWE Champion, what happens going into SummerSlam now? Does Sami Zayn get a rematch for what happened? Why did WWE opt to go with CM Punk and not Cody Rhodes tonight against Sami Zayn? Also, Seth Rollins is set to address Roman Reigns again this week, after Roman Reigns accepted Seth Rollins challenge for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at SummerSlam.
