Ladies and gentlemen, grab your popcorn and your favorite wrestling t-shirt because WWE SummerSlam 2024 is shaping up to be more dramatic than a soap opera marathon! With the match card still in the oven, rumors are flying faster than a luchador off the top rope. And the juiciest tidbit? One match might just have a special guest referee who could turn the tide of the night!
According to the wrestling oracle, Dave Meltzer, the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter suggests that one of the major title matches will feature a special guest referee. And guess who’s rumored to don the striped shirt? None other than Seth “Freakin'” Rollins. That’s right, folks! The Architect might be the official for the explosive grudge match between CM Punk and Drew McIntyre.
But wait, there’s more! As of now, Punk’s medical clearance is still hanging in the balance like a precarious ladder match. If he’s cleared, we’ll see Punk and McIntyre go head-to-head with Rollins playing peacekeeper—or chaos instigator, depending on how you look at it. WWE hopes to confirm Punk’s readiness on the July 29 go-home episode of “Raw.” Fingers crossed, everyone!
Meanwhile, Liv Morgan and Rhea Ripley’s Women’s World Championship bout is confirmed to be referee-free of guest stars. Meltzer believes Dominik Mysterio will meddle in the match’s climax, fueling the ongoing love triangle storyline. Because why have a straightforward match when you can add a dash of romantic chaos?
WrestleVotes on X also backed up Meltzer’s claims, indicating that Rollins is likely to officiate the Punk-McIntyre clash. So, if you thought SummerSlam was already a must-watch, this revelation just turned it into the hottest ticket in town. Will Rollins call it down the middle, or will he stir the pot? Only time will tell!
Mark your calendars for August 3, folks. SummerSlam 2024 is going to be a night of shocking surprises, dramatic showdowns, and possibly the best referee shenanigans we’ve seen in years!
