One of the most prominent signs throughout the night was one that insulted fans of the gacha game Genshin Impact, asking them to “please touch grass.” This sign was visible throughout most of the night at SummerSlam, from the first match between Bianca Belair and Becky Lynch all the way to the main event with Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns. However, it was far from the only video game signs spotted at SummerSlam.

Another sign that WWE fans could spot watching SummerSlam claimed that Final Fantasy 7 is the best game in the series. This is hardly a controversial opinion, as many fans agree that Final Fantasy 7 is the best game in the series. However, there are those who disagree, with Final Fantasy 6, 9, and 10 often brought up as potentially the best games in the Final Fantasy series instead of FF7.
Video game YouTuber Dunkey was also referenced at SummerSlam with a sign that said “Knack is back baybee,” a reference to a running gag from Dunkey’s videos. For those who may not be familiar with the YouTuber, Dunkey has sarcastically held up PlayStation action-platformer Knack as the pinnacle of gaming. This joke has been going on for years, and now it’s been immortalized in sign form at SummerSlam.
Besides video games, the signs at WWE’s SummerSlam 2022 event made other pop culture references. One can be spotted not far from the Genshin Impact touch grass sign claiming that Tobey Maguire is the best Spider-Man.
It seems signs like this trend will be commonplace at WWE events and other wrestling shows moving forward. The wrestling signs arguing about JRPGs have been popping up for quite a while now, and they are showing no signs of disappearing anytime soon. And with new JRPGs hitting the market like the critically-acclaimed Nintendo Switch exclusive Xenoblade Chronicles 3, fans of the genre constantly have something new to discuss - even if having these discussions using wrestling signs is a bit outlandish.
