Following the contest, The Second City Saint and The American Nightmare celebrated their win in the middle of the ring. CM Punk accidentally hit Rhodes with the Undisputed WWE Championship belt while exiting the ring. As a result, the second-generation wrestler was furious.

Cody Rhodes confronted CM Punk during his post-show backstage interview with Jackie Redmond. The American Nightmare lashed out at his SummerSlam opponent for hitting him with the title and accused him of being excessively emotional.

“It’s embarrassing. You’re out there, and you literally cracked me in the eye with this title. It was an accident, right? That’s what I am asking. We don’t need any of this sh*t [A furious Rhodes asked the cameraman to leave]. You’re the one who’s always emotional out there. What’s my problem?” Rhodes said.

Punk tried to explain his actions, but Rhodes didn’t seem convinced. The duo started hurling abuses and were about to come to blows. However, Bobby Roode and Trick Williams separated them, saying the whole thing was an accident.

“A hundred percent [it was an accident]. I am [sic] emotional? It was an accident, okay? (…) F*ck you, get him out of here. [referring to the cameraman],” Punk said.

The Best in the World also lost his cool toward the end of the segment and demanded that the cameraman stop the coverage. With their win tonight, CM Punk and Cody Rhodes saved their one-on-one world title match at SummerSlam. It will be interesting to see what’s next in their developing storyline.
