A large section of viewers is displeased with the promotion’s decision to use AI tools in its product constantly. Many have even called out Triple H & Co. for allegedly using fake renders of stars in promotional posters for The Biggest Party of the Summer.

Despite the adverse reaction, WWE reportedly plans to continue using AI tools both on and off-screen. WRKD Wrestling recently reported that the sports entertainment juggernaut was aware of the negative response to its increased use of AI-generated content. However, the organization still aims to boost its usage in the coming days.

Several fans believe the renders of superstars like Royce Keys, Danhausen, and Nick Aldis in the promotional material for SummerSlam are not even close to their real-life appearances. However, the company has yet to make changes to the posters.

WWE Added a Huge Title Match to SummerSlam 2026 Last Night

The Triple H-led creative team has curated a star-studded match card for SummerSlam 2026. The Biggest Party of the Summer is set to present multiple main events, including CM Punk vs. Cody Rhodes, Roman Reigns vs. Seth Rollins, and Brock Lesnar vs. Oba Femi.

On the latest episode of SmackDown, United States Champion Trick Williams competed in a Fatal Four-Way Match and lost. Following the contest, he was attacked by Baron Corbin. A frustrated Williams ultimately challenged Corbin to a title match at The Biggest Party of the Summer.

Last night, Triple H officially confirmed that Trick Williams will defend his United States Championship against Corbin at SummerSlam. The bout will mark The Lone Wolf’s first match for the company since his comeback earlier this month.
