WWE SummerSlam 2021: 10 Behind the scene photos

WWE SummerSlam 2021 took place last weekend from the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. The show was a huge success, breaking multiple records and becoming the most-viewed and highest-grossing SummerSlam in the company's history.

New champions were crowned, moments were created, and some massive returns took place including that of The Beast Incarnate Brock Lesnar. Equally exciting to see is what was going on backstage at WWE's Biggest Party of the Summer.

Take a look at ten behind-the-scenes photos from WWE SummerSlam 2021 and feel the atmosphere backstage. Be sure to comment down and let us know your thoughts on the pay-per-view and the pictures!

#10 The WWE Champion at SummerSlam

Bobby Lashley faced the biggest threat to his title reign at SummerSlam as he faced WWE Hall of Famer Goldberg. Lashley successfully retained his title and has now held the WWE title for 180+ days.

The above picture shows Bobby Lashley behind the scenes ahead of WWE SummerSlam 2021. It's great to see WWE Superstars following safety protocols and wearing masks to protect themselves and everyone else around them.

#9 Goldberg and his son behind the scenes at SummerSlam

WWE Hall of Famer Goldberg with his son Gage

Speaking of the WWE Champion's opponent, here is a picture of Goldberg and his son Gage. The WWE Hall of Famer didn't have a great night at SummerSlam as he lost his title match against Bobby Lashley via referee stoppage due to a leg injury.

But what happened afterward was noteworthy as Lashley started assaulting Goldberg. This led to his son Gage entering the ring to save his father but instead got destroyed by the WWE Champion himself. We are definitely heading towards a rematch between Bobby Lashley and Goldberg somewhere down the line.

#8 In conversation with the EST of WWE

WWE SummerSlam 2021 didn't turn out well for Bianca Belair. She was scheduled to defend her title against Sasha Banks, who was unable to compete. Following this, Becky Lynch made her return and went on to defeat Belair to become the new SmackDown Women's Champion.

In the above picture, Bianca Belair can be seen having a conversation with Liv Morgan behind the scenes ahead of SummerSlam. This week on SmackDown, the two superstars faced each other in a fatal four-way elimination match that Bianca Belair eventually won by pinning Liv Morgan.

#7 The Man returned at WWE SummerSlam 2021

One of the two massive returns at WWE SummerSlam was that of The Man, Becky Lynch. She was away from WWE TV for over 15 months.

The above picture shows Becky Lynch acknowledging her fans at WWE SummerSlam 2021. Her return led to a massive pop from the fans at the Allegiant Stadium. However, WWE pulled off a massive swerve as Lynch squashed Belair, becoming the new SmackDown Women's Champion. She will now be a heel on the blue brand going forward.

#6 Ready for a fight with a sword (and a mask)

WWE SummerSlam 2021 saw Drew McIntyre battle his former 3MB teammate Jinder Mahal. The above picture shows a masked Drew McIntyre behind the scenes with his sword, Angela. The sword has become a major part of his gimmick, paying homage to his Scottish background.

McIntyre emerged victorious at SummerSlam, overcoming the trio of Jinder Mahal, Veer and Shanky. It will be interesting to see what is next for the Scottish Warrior on Monday Night RAW. He did tease an alliance with the newly crowned United States Champion, Damian Priest.

#5 The New Day backstage at WWE SummerSlam 2021

The New Day is no longer on the same brand but the members of the faction don't miss out on any opportunity to meet each other. The above picture shows Big E and Xavier Woods backstage at WWE SummerSlam 2021.

Big E defeated Baron Corbin in the pre-show of the pay-per-view and got back his Money in the Bank briefcase which Corbin had stolen from him. Xavier Woods, on the other hand, had a segment with The Miz and John Morrison, attacking them both with his Drip-Stick 2000. The third New Day member, Kofi Kingston, missed WWE SummerSlam 2021 as he was not cleared to perform at the show.

#4 The former RAW Women's Champion

WWE SummerSlam 2021 turned out to be the end of a dream run for Nikki A.S.H., who lost her RAW Women's Championship. She won the title on the RAW after Money in the Bank, cashing in her briefcase on Charlotte Flair. However, The Queen took her revenge at SummerSlam as she regained the RAW Women's title, defeating Nikki A.S.H. and Rhea Ripley in a triple threat match.

The above picture shows the former RAW Women's Champion backstage at WWE SummerSlam 2021, sitting in the practice ring using her phone.

#3 RK-Bro won big at WWE SummerSlam 2021

WWE SummerSlam 2021 saw the crowning of RK-Bro as the new RAW Tag Team Champions. The dynamic duo defeated AJ Styles and Omos in the opening match of the night.

Randy Orton and Riddle have become fan-favorites on Monday Night RAW, with many even claiming they are the best thing going on the red brand right now. The above picture shows RK-Bro behind the scenes at SummerSlam. Riddle might look a bit unimpressed with Randy in this picture, but rest assured, he loves Randy, bro.

#2 In preparation for the big match

The Rated-R Superstar Edge and Seth Rollins had the match of the night at SummerSlam 2021

Edge and Seth Rollins had the best match at SummerSlam 2021 by a countrymile. The two had a highly heated rivalry on SmackDown and stole the show with their match at SummerSlam which was won by Edge.

The above picture shows Edge behind the scenes ahead of his big match at SummerSlam. We can also see former WWE Superstar Jason Jordan behind him, who now works for WWE as a producer.

#1 John Cena in a candid conversation before WWE SummerSlam 2021

John Cena took on Roman Reigns in a failed attempt to capture his 17th World Title

The main event of WWE SummerSlam 2021 saw Universal Champion Roman Reigns face John Cena. The Leader of Cenation returned to WWE at last month's Money in the Bank pay-per-view and started a massive feud against The Tribal Chief. Cena and Reigns had some epic segments and promo battles on SmackDown, getting huge praise from the fans and critics.

However, Cena was not able to win his 17th world title at SummerSlam as Roman Reigns defeated him to retain the Universal Championship. The above picture shows John Cena behind the scenes ahead of SummerSlam in a candid conversation.
