The real ‘Tribal Chief’ is back.

Roman Reigns made his emphatic return back to WWE at SummerSlam on Saturday night during the Undisputed WWE Championship match between Cody Rhodes and Solo Sikoa.

The crowd erupted when his music hit and he emerged from the tunnel and made his way down the ramp. The former WWE champion then ran into the ring and delivered a Superman punch to Sikoa, who appointed himself as the ‘Tribal Chief’ and leader of The Bloodline during Reigns’ absence, and then a spear to his former enforcer before leaving the ring. Rhodes was stunned watching it happen, but Reigns did what he needed to remind people of his position in The Bloodline. The two rivals stared at each other for a lengthy time period before Reigns left the ring, leaving Rhodes to hit the Cross Rhodes and get the pin on Sikoa to retain the title.

It was Reigns first appearance in WWE since he lost the Undisputed WWE Championship to Rhodes at WrestleMania 40 in April. Fans speculated he would make his return on Saturday, and now that he is back, the battle to be the ‘Tribal Chief’ begins.

And if people have a hunch of who is in charge, Reigns’ shirt said OTC, which means original tribal chief.

Outside of WrestleMania, SummerSlam is one of the grandest premium live events on WWE’s calendar, and after Saturday night, the course of WWE has drastically changed.

Seven matches took place at the home of the NFL’s Cleveland Browns, six of which were for championship gold. CM Punk and Drew McIntyre finally got in the ring months after the hottest rivalry in wrestling began, and the main event featured Cody Rhodes defending the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship against Solo Sikoa. But a remarkable return happened during the Bloodline rules match, and now the fight to be the true ‘Tribal Chief’ begins.

Here is a recap of all the action at SummerSlam 2024:

Roman Reigns returns

Undisputed WWE Championship match (Bloodline rules): Cody Rhodes (c) vs. Solo Sikoa

The aura inside Cleveland Browns Stadium was immaculate to start this match, and the crowd made its distaste for Solo Sikoa known early. The first minutes of the match were spent feeling each other out, but it was Sikoa that got some of the best shots in to start. He tried going for quick pins and a Samoan spike, but the champion is a seasoned star that won’t go down easy.

Sikoa was still aggressive in his approach, paying homage to his family with several moves they made famous. Rhodes would counter some opportunities only for Sikoa to regain the advantage. Rhodes finally got the upper hand when he executed a Cross Rhodes, but since it was Bloodline rules, Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa came out to punish the champion. Sikoa went for a pin, only for Rhodes to kick out. That’s when Kevin Owens came out to aid Rhodes and deal with the siblings. When The Bloodline began to gang up on him, Randy Orton came out to help. Owens and Orton took out Tonga and Loa, and Rhodes got a Cross Rhodes on Sikoa, but he kicked out.

Understanding it takes more to win, Rhodes used the steel steps on Sikoa. He was surprised by a spear from Sikoa, which resulted in an unsuccessful pin. When Sikoa tried to use the steel steps, it backfired and led to two Cross Rhodes from the champion. That’s when the unpredictable Jacob Fatu emerged and unleashed a ruthless assault on Rhodes. He helped Sikoa attempt a pin, but Rhodes kicked out. Fatu continued the onslaught with a dive onto the announcer’s table, and he appeared to hurt his leg off the jump. Sikoa brought Rhodes into the ring to finish it, and somehow, Rhodes kicked out.

That’s when Roman Reigns emerged. The former WWE champion delivered a Superman punch to Sikoa and then a spear to his former enforcer before leaving the ring. Rhodes was stunned watching it happen, but he did what he needed to do. He hit the Cross Rhodes and got the pin on Sikoa as Reigns and him locked eyes. The title is retained.

Analysis: It finally happened. Roman Reigns has made his emphatic return to WWE and he made a statement. Yes, this was a match for the WWE title, but this result means so much more for The Bloodline. Cody Rhodes will be dealt with later.

Now the serious battle for the right to be the ‘Tribal Chief’ begins. Solo Sikoa has self-appointed himself to the head of the table, but Reigns is back to remind him who is in charge. How everything unfolds after this will be captivating television that every fan will be excited to watch. One year ago, Paul Heyman said The Bloodline storyline was in the bottom of the third inning, and people thought he was crazy for thinking this story could continue on. Flash forward to now, and it’s again the top story in WWE. The ‘Wiseman’ was indeed wise.

Pharaoh. Arn Anderson. What an entrance for the Undisputed WWE Champion.

Jelly Roll delivers chokeslam, five-knuckle shuffle to Austin Theory

Not only is he the artist of the official song of SummerSlam, he also can put some moves on in the ring.

When The Miz and R-Truth announced the crowd attendance, Austin Theory and Grayson Waller came out to bash Cleveland. Jelly Roll didn’t like that, so he showed up in the ring with a steel chair and hit both Theory and Waller with it. Afterward, he delivered a chokeslam to Theory, and he, The Miz and R-Truth hit the five-knuckle shuffle to take him out.

World Heavyweight Championship match: Damian Priest (c) vs. Gunther

Damian Priest knew the challenge he had ahead of him, and he wasted no time going on the attack, surprising Gunther. Once the fury settled, that’s when Gunther displayed his prowess and started his game. The champion wasn’t going to down easy, responding to anything thrown at him. Gunther is known for his ruthless chops, but it was Priest who landed merciless slaps that were so strong, it cut open the challenger.

Gunther executed his dropkick-powerbomb combo but was unsuccessful in securing the pin. Preist responded with a South of Heaven slam that was also kicked out of. Once Gunther recovered, he started to launch blow after blow to Priest, each hit more punishing than the last. Finn Balor came out and tried to rally his champion, but Gunther was having none of it, even as he had blood running down his body. He kicked Balor in the head, only it added some fuel to Priest. He responded with some vicious clotheslines, landed a Razor’s Edge and a South of Heaven slam to get the pin, but chaos ensued.

Balor put Gunther’s foot on the rope to end the pin. Priest saw the replay on the Jumbotron and was baffled to see what happened. With Priest distracted, Gunther put the champion in a sleeper hold, only for him to get out. Priest tried to retaliate on Balor, but Gunther went back to the sleeper, and this time the champion was out for good. ‘The Ring General’ is the new World Heavyweight Champion.

Analysis: Well, there goes The Judgment Day. With Dominik Mysterio betraying Rhea Ripley and Finn Balor backstabbing Damian Priest, the faction that has controlled ‘Monday Night Raw’ for more than a year is basically in shambles.

Gunther is among the best in the business and he didn’t need help to keep his hopes of winning the title alive, but it was necessary for story purposes. The World Heavyweight Championship is still young and needs to be held in high regard, and Gunther is the perfect person to take it to the next level. There’s a chance he holds this title for a lengthy time period and solidifies his position as the unstoppable force of WWE.

On the other side, a feud between Priest and Finn Balor has been brewing for months and now it’ll finally take place. Priest’s title reign helped him become a more respectable wrestler, and now he’ll look more legit when he takes on a veteran in Balor. The demise of The Judgement Day will be something worth watching.

Drew McIntyre vs. CM Punk (with Seth Rollins as special guest referee)

The most highly-anticipated match of the night started off with tremendous hype, and Seth Rollins helped the crowd get even more wound up before he rang the bell and the two stars teed off on each other.

Issues with Rollins started early when CM Punk and McIntyre both got upset with him going with five-counts off the turnbuckles. CM Punk got the first advantage and took the action out of the ring, and Rollins didn’t even bother with the count − or care. When McIntyre got on offense, he bounced Punk off the steel frame of the ring and all Rollins did was laugh.

McIntyre tried pushing Rollins’ boundaries with a steel chair, and Rollins looked to allow it, but ultimately grabbed it from McIntyre before he could hit Punk. McIntyre shoved Rollins, who tried to hit McIntyre with the chair in retaliation but almost took out Punk instead. Rollins held back, and got rid of the chair. When he wasn’t looking, he missed a roll-up pin from Punk. Punk responded with three high knee kicks and an elbow drop off the top rope, but it wasn’t enough for a pin.

Punk had McIntyre ready to submit, but he saw the bracelet that had his wife’s and dog’s name on it, and he let go to get the bracelet back. It cost Punk. McIntyre landed a Claymore. However, Punk kicked out.

Punk recovered and was going to go for a GTS, only to see Rollins with the bracelet on. Distracted, it gave McIntyre enough time to hit Punk and inadvertently take out Rollins. Punk was able to get the GTS, but since Rollins was out, he wasn’t able to get the pin. Punk and Rollins argued, and it ended with Punk delivering a GTS on the referee. Punk got his bracelet back, but McIntyre hit a low blow and then a Claymore on his opponent. He went for the pin, and even though it was slow, Rollins counted to three to get McIntyre the win. Plus, McIntyre got the bracelet back

Analysis: There was plenty of hype for this match and it delivered on all fronts. Seth Rollins was so good at creating chaos, letting CM Punk and Drew McIntyre unleash hell on each other while adding layers of complexity with his authority.

For as much as McIntyre has cost himself this year thanks to his rival, it was Punk who blew it this time. He lost focus with Rollins and it led to him losing his first WWE singles match in a decade. But despite not having an actual match in quite some time, he looked fantastic. There were moments where it looked like we were watching prime Punk from years ago, and that’s a good sign as he gets fully back into competing with WWE. The rivalry between him and McIntyre is far from over, but it did plant the seeds for a future feud between Punk and Rollins, something that was planned for WrestleMania 40. Round one goes to McIntyre. Can’t wait to see what round two offers.

WWE Women’s Championship match: Bayley (c) vs. Nia Jax

The ‘Queen of the Ring’ took quick control of this match, dominating Bayley right out of the gate with vicious, powerful moves. Even when Bayley was able to get some shots in or slow down the challenger, Nia Jax would take back control, taunting her several times in the process. Jax even got in an Annihilate-her that surely looked to end the match, but Bayley got out of it.

Jax continued to put the pressure on, and she was going to go for another Annihilate-her, but Bayley not only got up before it was too late, she picked up Jax and delivered an insane power bomb in an incredible display of strength. Bayley went for a flying elbow to end the match, but Jax kicked out.

Tiffany Stratton came out and attempted to cash in her Money in the Bank contract, but she wasn’t able to do it since Bayley knocked her out. Turns out, that’s exactly what Jax needed.

The challenger recovered and caught Bayley trying to end the match. She hit a power bomb on her and landed not only one, but two Annihilate-hers on Bayley. It was more than enough and Jax claimed the WWE Women’s Championship.

Analysis: This was a shocking result. Bayley hadn’t done much with her title reign, but she was still a formidable champion that was looking to get a convincing victory. Instead, Nia Jax is queen and champion.

Say what you want about Jax’s in-ring abilities, but she has improved so much since her first stint in WWE. She’s a great heel, and now she’s able to pull it off exceptionally in matches. Now, she’s getting rewarded for how far she’s come. Tiffany Stratton may have come out to just be a distraction, but regardless, she and Jax are a formidable threat in the women’s division for now. Yes, Stratton can cash in her contract on Jax if she wants to, but that likely won’t come soon. So in the meantime, Jax can reign in terror on ‘Friday Night SmackDown’ and become a legitimate, dominant champion.

United States Championship match: Logan Paul (c) vs. LA Knight

The hatred between these two is so strong, the action started outside of the ring before the bell even rang. LA Knight was attacked, but he got the upper hand and even used Prime bottles as a weapon before he pulled off a Neckbreaker on the announcer’s table.

The two finally got in the ring for the match to start, and LA Knight began with the advantage before the champion gained the upper-hand. Even though he was performing in his home state, the crowd booed Paul while clearly making it known it wanted LA Knight to win. The crowd advantage appeared to help the challenger get back on the attack, and he had an impressive elbow drop in a move we hadn’t seen from the wrestling veteran. But Paul showed off the aerial skills he’s known for with a wild backflip off the top rope outside the ring.

Paul landed his coveted knockout punch, but LA Knight kicked out. He countered with a Superplex off the top rope, and Paul also successfully kicked out. Paul tried to get brass knuckles from his associates ring-side, and LA Knight tried to eliminate the chance by taking them out. But it was artist Machine Gun Kelly that had the brass knuckles as a neckless, and he gave them to Paul. He sneaked in a hit to the head, and he went for the win, but LA Knight recovered, executed a BFT and got the pin to win his first singles title in WWE.

Analysis: LA Knight finally gets his moment. He exploded onto the scene last year and instantly became a fan favorite, even getting a WWE title shot, but there was no solid momentum for him to build off of. Time was running out for him to capture a championship, and if he didn’t win Saturday, it might’ve been the end of his stardom. Logan Paul has been impressive in the ring, but he wasn’t a great champion since he barely defended the title, plus there’s his out-of-the-ring, social media issues. It was the perfect opportunity to take the title off of Paul and give it to someone that not only needed it, but deserved it. The LA Knight reign is here, yeah.

Intercontinental Championship match: Sami Zayn (c) vs. Bron Breakker

Bron Breakker tried to end the match off the bat with a spear, but Sami Zayn was smart enough to get out of the way and let the eager star hurt himself.

Still, Breakker is unlike any star WWE has seen, and he recovered quickly by showcasing his power and speed on the champion. Zayn went for a Helluva Kick, but Breakker countered with a spear. He knew it might take more, and he bounced off the ropes with his incredible speed and hit another deadly spear on Zayn to get the pin in relatively quick fashion and become the new Intercontinental Champion.

Analysis: Bron Breakker has been built up as the future of the next generation, and now he finally has championship gold to begin that climb to the top of the mountain. It’s unfortunate this match was done in quick fashion knowing Zayn can put on a classic, and it made him look more like a punching bag, but Breakker needed to be put over a certified star to show he will be a problem in the future for the entire roster. It’s a major win for someone that needed it more than the champion did. This Intercontinental title run will be crucial to his development, but Breakker is on the right path toward unimaginable success.

Damian Priest livid after Dominik Mysterio turns on Rhea Ripley

The World Heavyweight Champion has another issue to deal with before his match against Gunther.

Damian Priest stormed into The Judgment Day locker room after seeing Dominik Mysterio turn on Rhea Ripley and kiss Liv Morgan. The three other members said they would go find Mysterio and deal with him.

Women’s World Championship match: Liv Morgan (c) vs. Rhea Ripley

‘Mami’ and Dom are no more.

Liv Morgan kept away from Rhea Ripley to start, playing cat-and-mouse for several minutes. When they finally met in the ring, Ripley launched a full assault on the champion. She went for a quick finish with a Riptide, but Morgan got out of it to end the threat. Morgan pushed Ripley into the turnbuckle and she hit the surgically repaired shoulder she just recovered from. Ripley told the referee ‘it’s out’ about her right shoulder, but didn’t want the match to end, and Morgan went on offense with repeated shots to the injured shoulder. When she had a free moment, Ripley popped her shoulder back in place in a painful moment.

With Ripley’s shoulder feeling better, she was able to get back to delivering blows, but Morgan was countering nearly everything. She tried to bring a chair into the fold, and Ripley hit a Riptide. She wasn’t done, and tried to hit Morgan with the chair, but Dominik Mysterio stopped her. It distracted Ripley, and Morgan kicked Ripley into Mysterio and executed an Ob-Liv-ion. But somehow, Ripley kicked out.

But Mysterio got the referee’s attention, and with him not looking, Morgan hit an Ob-Liv-ion and Ripley’s head landed on the chair. Morgan then went for the pin, with the referee paying attention, and Morgan got the win.

And that wasn’t all.

Mysterio turned on his ‘Mami.’ He helped Morgan up and gave her a big smooch, shocking Ripley and the crowd. The two walked away arm-in-arm with a stunned Ripley in disbelief.

Analysis: What a twist that was. After declaring his devotion to Rhea Ripley over Liv Morgan, Dominik Mysterio suddenly switched sides by helping Morgan get the win, on purpose. It being a dirty finish means these two stars will have to tangle again at some point in the future, but what happened post-match was the icing on the cake.

The kiss between the two was a spectacular shot that had everybody in the stadium going wild, and it definitely will add more fuel to what is the best women’s rivalry in wrestling this year. Also, this could be the beginning of the end for The Judgement Day. Mysterio will surely be out of the group, or it will begin to crumble altogether, soon.

SummerSlam history

SummerSlam has been a yearly staple for WWE for decades. It first took place in 1988 at Madison Square Garden and it’s been held every year since then. This year will be the 37th edition of SummerSlam. 

This year’s edition will be the first time it’s taking place in Cleveland since 1996, when it took place at the Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse. 

Cody Rhodes vs. Solo Sikoa match stipulation: What are Bloodline rules?

Bloodline rules are back.

On Friday Night SmackDown just before SummerSlam, Rhodes agreed to the title match against Sikoa being under Bloodline rules. 

The match will essentially be a no disqualification match, meaning anything goes. It was the stipulation of the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship match between Rhodes and Reigns at WrestleMania 40, which saw all sorts of surprises with John Cena, The Rock and The Undertaker. 

Who is the special guest referee for CM Punk vs. Drew McIntyre?

Seth Rollins will be the special guest referee for the bout between CM Punk and Drew McIntyre. Rollins has history with both stars and he has made it known he doesn’t like either one of them, making it an intriguing addition to the match. 

Will Roman Reigns return at SummerSlam 2024?

Will the real “Tribal Chief” stand up?

There’s speculation that Roman Reigns will make his return to WWE on Saturday for the first time since he lost the WWE title at WrestleMania 40 in April. Since then, he’s been absent from programming while Solo Sikoa has taken over as the “Tribal Chief” of The Bloodline. 

Sikoa has reigned terror since taking on the leadership role; he’s brought in Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa and Jacob Fatu to the group, and he’s made it known this is his place to run and Reigns no longer is in charge. He even attacked the “Wiseman” and WWE Hall of Famer Paul Heyman after he refused to acknowledge him as the “Tribal Chief.” 

With all the turmoil of The Bloodline, fans are hoping Reigns makes his return to WWE Saturday night. Especially since the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship match will be under Bloodline rules, meaning anything goes in the match, it gives a perfect opportunity for Reigns to come back, regardless of how the title fight ends. 

Liv Morgan-Rhea Ripley history

Liv Morgan and Rhea Ripley’s rivalry has been red hot in recent months, but the Women’s World Championship match on Saturday is years in the making.

Morgan and Ripley were tag team partners in 2022 and even challenged for the Women’s Tag Team Championship at WrestleMania 38. They were unsuccessful, and not long afterward, Ripley attacked Morgan and joined The Judgement Day. They would cross paths again at the 2023 Royal Rumble when Ripley eliminated Morgan to win the women’s Royal Rumble match.

Things picked up in July 2023 when Ripley attacked Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez, who were Women’s Tag Team Champions at the time, which led to them dropping the titles. The next week Ripley and Morgan would face each other, but Ripley attacked her prior to the match with a steel chair, injuring Morgan’s shoulder that would need surgery. 

Morgan returned at the 2024 Royal Rumble, and at the Raw after WrestleMania 40, she attacked Women’s World Champion Ripley as part of her “Liv Morgan revenge tour” to get back at the champion. Ripley’s shoulder was injured and she was forced to vacate the title, much to the joy of Morgan.

It took time, but Morgan claimed the Women’s World Championship at King and Queen of the Ring, thanks to the inadvertent help of Dominik Mysterio, the on-screen love interest of Ripley. Over the next few months, Morgan spent time seducing Mysterio, hoping to get him on her side as Ripley was out. Ripley returned in July and Mysterio sided with “Mami” instead of Morgan, much to the dismay of the champion, and setting the stage for their match at SummerSlam.

Joe Tessitore to begin WWE commentary in September

ESPN broadcaster Joe Tessitore will make his debut as WWE commentator on Sept. 2 when he takes over the Monday Night Raw duties, Michael Cole announced Saturday. Cole will be moving to Friday Night SmackDown, meaning as of now, it’ll be Tessitore and Pat McAfee on the call for Mondays.

CJ Perry, fka Lana, has high praise for Liv Morgan

One of the stories dominating WWE is the relationship between Women’s World Champion Liv Morgan and Dominik Mysterio since Rhea Ripley was injured, and one former WWE star said the title holder is in the ‘perfect’ role for it.

CJ Perry, formerly known as Lana from her time in WWE, is close friends with Morgan and raved about her performance since she injured Ripley in April and became champion in May.

‘She’s in the perfect casting. She’s an incredible worker, she’s an incredible athlete,’ Perry told USA TODAY Sports at 2024 ESPY Awards. ‘At the end of the day, professional wrestling is scripted television, where we want to believe what you’re doing is real, and she’s the hot girl. We love her.”

Bron Breakker poised to be a major WWE star

Cody Rhodes says prior to his entrance music “Wrestling has more than one royal family,” and while it’s true, there’s another WWE star making a solid case for his family to be in the picture.

Son of Rick Steiner and nephew of Scott Steiner – both WWE Hall of Famers – Bron Breakker has exploded onto the scene ever since he arrived at the company in 2021. He won the NXT Championship twice and the NXT Tag Team Championship, and since his callup to the main roster, he’s become someone with unlimited potential. He’s been nothing but dominant since his arrival, and he’ll have another major match in his young career Saturday when he challenges Sami Zayn again for the Intercontinental Championship.

Even though he isn’t exactly a “genetic freak” like his uncle, Breakker has proven there is no star like him. 

“With what I’m doing, I’m not so sure anyone’s ever done it before,” Breakker told USA TODAY Sports.

VILLEPINTE, France – There is no doubt that the next time we do this in Los Angeles, Olympic boxing will look different than it did on Saturday: A young woman from rural Algeria who has spent 48 hours in the middle of an international firestorm, a ravenous media screaming questions as she walked past being shielded by her coaches, sobbing visibly after she won an important fight, and an Olympic delegation from the country of the loser suggesting in the most diplomatic way possible they didn’t believe any of this was legitimate.

This can’t happen again.

The IOC’s management of the Paris Olympics boxing tournament has proven to be a failure. It’s a failure of anticipation, communication and clarity, and the consequences have allowed the Russians to run a psyop on the world that will turn every subsequent competition into a witch hunt for genitals and chromosomes.

Despite what is now ironclad evidence that Khelif was born a woman in Algeria, has lived as a woman and knows nothing about herself other than being a woman, enough of the world is now convinced she doesn’t belong at the Olympics that it is impossible for anyone to leave here a winner.

It’s a circus. And with Khelif now just two more wins away from a gold medal after defeating Anna Luca Hamori of Hungary on Saturday, it’s only going to get worse.

Even though she’s done nothing wrong. Even though there’s no evidence she’s anything other than what she says and believes she is.

“We are 100 percent convinced every match has to be decided on the play field, or in this case in the ring,” said Balazs Furjes, a high-level official in Viktor Orban’s far-right government who serves as Hungary’s IOC representative. “Therefore, it was never an option either for Anna Luca or myself or the committee not to fight.

“We Hungarians are always ready to fight bravely, and that’s what we just saw. We are a proud founding nation of the international Olympic Committee, we are an old member, a loyal member. Of course, all competitions have their consequences. And like every other competition, these will be evaluated after the Games. And as loyal members of the (IOC), we are 100 percent convinced that the (IOC) will make the right decisions. “

All things considered, that was pretty measured given the political benefit in Orban’s Hungary to claim foul and gaslight this for all it’s worth. Even Hamori said that she accepted her unanimous decision loss to Khalif was a fair fight despite the Hungarians reportedly protesting in advance of the bout.

But it’s also not typical for an IOC member to deliver that kind of statement in the press zone after an Olympic event. The message was unmistakable. The pressure’s on now to do something about boxing going forward.

This is where the IOC failed itself, and most of all failed Khalif and Lin Yu-Ting of Taiwan.  

They should have known that the International Boxing Association, which has been completely thrown out of the Olympics because it is a corrupted, fully-owned subsidiary of the Russian government, has been champing at the bit for revenge.

Even if the IOC doesn’t give any credibility to the so-called “gender tests” that the IBA used to disqualify Khalif and Lin from their world championships in 2023 – and there are many reasons to be skeptical of the Russians’ motives in administering those tests midway through that tournament – they knew this information was out there.

If they didn’t anticipate that it would only take one punch for this to become the biggest story of the Olympics given how much anti-trans rhetoric fuels right-wing politics in places like the U.S. and Great Britain, they are not very savvy about the way things work in 2024.

Best guess: IOC officials sat in their offices in Switzerland and figured that because these two women are not transgender, are indeed eligible to compete in the Olympics under the current standards and have previously been in international competitions without controversy, it wouldn’t become an issue.

Whoops.

Because the thing is with these anti-trans crusaders, no answer is ever good enough. They put forward bills in state legislatures wanting to check girls’ genitals before they go play basketball or volleyball. But then you get a case like Khalif where it’s very clear she has female body parts – her father was interviewed Saturday showing a birth document listing her as a female – and they want a chromosome test. Give them that, they’ll want a full lab workup of every strand of DNA in their bodies.

And if you let them win, if you let them think they’re right, they’ll never stop. They’ll want answers about every female tennis player with unusually wide shoulders or every women’s golfer with a jaw line or every basketball player that has a suspiciously deep voice.

It’s not just a bad idea, it’s dystopian what’s happening here.  

Because you have to understand, this isn’t really about fairness. Fairness doesn’t exist in sports – never has, never will. Their crusade is about power and an ideology that demands a woman fit into their idea of what a woman should be.

The IOC’s inability to anticipate all this, and then to be naïve enough to think that you can placate people who have convinced themselves that purity in women’s sports is the greatest fight of 21st century civilization, leaves them with two choices: Find someone who can manage this tournament in 2028 or rid the Olympics of boxing.

As it is now, they left the door open and the Russians rammed a psyop right through it. You saw what the IBA did, didn’t you? They’re offering the same $50,000 prize money for an Olympic gold medal winner to the Italian fighter being elevated to heroine status among the far-right, anti-trans warriors in the United States after losing to Khalif.

That’s $50,000 for 46 seconds in the ring, one punch and post-fight dramatics that set the world on fire.

This wasn’t on the level. It’s maybe the biggest return on investment for a disinformation campaign in human history.

Now someone’s got to pick up the pieces.

Maybe it’s World Boxing, a group formed in 2023 hoping to become the new federation for Olympic boxing and sanction the tournament for 2028. Their statement to USA TODAY Sports reads as follows:

“At World Boxing, we put boxers first and the safety of athletes is absolutely paramount. We have recognized for some time that gender clarity is an extremely complex issue, with significant welfare concerns and deeply-held views, and our Medical Committee is in the process of examining every aspect of this area so that we can develop a policy that prioritizes the health of boxers and deliver sporting integrity while endeavoring to ensure the sport is as inclusive as possible.”

It’s not very specific, but it’s a start.

The last couple days have shown the sport has a long way to go, and there are forces in this world who won’t stop until every athlete who looks different from what they think a woman should be is subject to propaganda and worldwide scorn.

But whatever they do to fix this broken sport, they have to make sure a scene like Saturday can never happen again.

NANTERRE, France —Katie Ledecky, the greatest female swimmer of all time, won her fourth consecutive Olympic gold medal in the 800-meter freestyle Saturday night, completing her week with her fourth medal in Paris and 14th in her Olympic career. 

Ledecky’s time of 8:11.04 defeated Australian Ariarne Titmus. American Paige Madden took the bronze. Titmus and Madden each put up personal bests, but it wasn’t enough.  Titmus claimed the silver in 8:12.29, while Madden swam 8:13.00. 

This was a victory of the moment, but also one 12 years in the making. Ledecky first won the Olympic 800 in a big surprise as a 15-year-old water bug in London in 2012. She won it by a mile in Rio in 2016. She held off Titmus to win it again in Tokyo in 2021. And now this, the four-peat, the first time a woman has won any swimming race in four consecutive Olympics.

Michael Phelps is the only other person to do it, in the men’s 200 individual medley, from 2004-2016. 

Her response earlier this summer to the possibility of joining Phelps as the only swimmer to win an Olympic event four times was vintage Ledecky.

“I was like, wait, I would? These things kind of go in one ear and out the other. I had thought that there were maybe a few others, but I think I’m getting it confused with the three-peat in Tokyo with a few others,” she said, with a smile and a shrug. 

“These things, I hear them, I see them, but I don’t really focus on them. I just stay focused on my own goals, my goals are very time focused and splits focused and technically focused. The rest is what it is and you guys (journalists) can write about it, and you guys can focus on it, but personally I’m just going to stay focused on my own goals.”

With the victory, Ledecky won her ninth Olympic gold medal, the most ever by an American woman in any Olympic sport. It also ties her with Soviet gymnast Larisa Latynina for the most golds won by any woman in any sport in Olympic history. Latynina competed at the 1956, 1960 and 1964 Olympics. 

Ledecky’s 14 total medals also are the most ever won by an American woman in Olympic history in any sport, and the most ever won by a female Olympic swimmer from any nation.

The 800 put the finishing touches on another stellar Olympics for the 27-year-old Ledecky. On the first day of swimming here, she won the bronze medal in the 400 freestyle behind Titmus and Canadian Summer McIntosh. Then later in the week, she won the gold in the 1,500 freestyle and the silver as part of the U.S. women’s 4×200 freestyle relay.

While Ledecky is now finished at the Paris Games, she is not done with the Summer Olympics. She has said numerous times that her goal is to compete on home soil at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.

Among the highlights of the many countries competing at the 2024 Paris Olympics is to see how many medals each nation can rack up, showing off its dominance to the rest of the world.

While the United States is favored to take home the most medals at the Paris Olympics, China is in the mix to have the most athletes on the top podium.

During the 2021 pandemic-delayed Tokyo Olympics, Team USA won 113 medals, including 39 golds, while China won 89 medals and 38 golds.

The last Summer Olympics in which the United States didn’t have the most gold medals was the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, when the host nation won 48 golds to the USA’s 36.

Here are the daily counts of medals won by Team USA at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

NANTERRE, France — First, second, first, first. 

That’s how each member of Team USA’s mixed 4×100-meter medley relay team hit the wall on their way to a gold medal and a new world record. 

Relays at the Paris Olympics have galvanized the crowd at Paris La Défense Arena, and Saturday’s mixed medley was no different. The arena was rocking, especially after the Americans retook the lead and never looked back.

With a stunning anchor swim, Torri Huske took off on the freestyle leg for the U.S., which had just a .04-second lead over China as she dove in.

The Americans finished first with a time of 3:37.43, while China took silver in 3:37.55 and Australia got bronze in 3:38.76.

“This meet has been great, and this meant so much to me,” said Huske, who already earned a gold and two silver medals at the Paris Games for five total. ‘The world record with these three is just unbelievable, and I feel like they make it so easy to be confident because they’re the best in the world. So I’m just so lucky that I get to have them by my side.”

The record previously belonged to Great Britain at 3:37.58, set in 2021 at the Tokyo Games in the event’s Olympic debut.

The mixed medley relay requires a bit more strategy than the others with two men and two women competing on each team. For Saturday’s final, Team USA’s lineup was Ryan Murphy (backstroke), Nic Fink (breaststroke), Gretchen Walsh (butterfly) and Huske (freestyle).

“We didn’t talk about the world record (in advance),” said Murphy, who now has eight Olympic medals, including a bronze from the men’s 100-meter backstroke. 

“I think we know the potential of everyone on this relay, and luckily tonight, everyone swam to their potential, and we got that world record and got the win.”

In preliminary heats for the mixed medley relay Friday, Team USA’s lineup was Regan Smith (backstroke), Charlie Swanson (breaststroke), Caeleb Dressel (butterfly) and Abbey Weitzeil (freestyle). And it worked out pretty well as the Americans qualified first, .44 seconds ahead of Australia and 1.28 seconds ahead of China.

But, as expected, the Americans’ lineup changed entirely between prelims and finals. 

“This was the biggest job I had tonight,” said Walsh, who qualified second in the women’s 50-meter freestyle semifinals earlier in the evening. “And so it was the main focus, and I was just really proud of myself and our whole relay and the prelims relay for everything we did.

“We got the world record, we got number one, we’re on the podium with our gold. It was a pretty special moment, and shout out to these three teammates. I wouldn’t be here without them.”
