Well, folks, the moment we’ve all been waiting for is here. WWE SummerSlam 2024 is set to light up the Cleveland Browns Stadium tonight in Cleveland, Ohio. And let me tell you, it’s going to be HUGE. Rumor has it that next year’s SummerSlam might be a two-night extravaganza, just like they’re planning for 2026 in Minnesota. But for now, we’ve got one night to cram in as much action as humanly possible, and WWE is pulling out all the stops with seven monumental singles matches. Let’s break down the madness:
Cody Rhodes vs. Solo Sikoa: Battle for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship
The American Nightmare versus the Bloodline’s juggernaut. Cody Rhodes, fresh off his successful title defenses against AJ Styles and Logan Paul, faces Solo Sikoa, who’s turned the Bloodline into his personal army by adding Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa, and Jacob Fatu, while kicking out Jimmy Uso and Paul Heyman. After Sikoa pinned Rhodes at Money in the Bank, he’s been a thorn in Cody’s side ever since. Tonight, it’s all or nothing for these two.
Damian Priest vs. Gunther: WWE World Heavyweight Championship Showdown
Damian Priest, the reigning champ, is up against the King of the Ring winner Gunther. Gunther’s been on fire, and despite Priest’s determination to stay focused amidst the Judgment Day’s soap opera drama, many are betting on Gunther to walk out with the gold. Priest says he’s ready to die for that title – let’s hope it doesn’t come to that.
CM Punk vs. Drew McIntyre: The Grudge Match to End All Grudge Matches
CM Punk and Drew McIntyre’s beef has been simmering since Punk’s return at Survivor Series. It reached a boiling point when McIntyre injured Punk at the Royal Rumble and mocked him endlessly, followed by Punk exacting revenge by costing McIntyre the World Heavyweight Title three times. Now, with Seth Rollins as the special guest referee, chaos is guaranteed.
Rhea Ripley vs. Liv Morgan: The Women’s World Title War
Rhea Ripley and Liv Morgan’s saga is straight out of a daytime drama. Ripley injured Morgan last summer, Morgan returned the favor in April, and Ripley was forced to vacate the title. Morgan swooped in, won the championship, and then cozied up to Dominik Mysterio. Ripley’s back, Dominik’s in her corner, and Morgan’s heartbroken – it’s going to be a wild ride.
Bron Breakker vs. Sami Zayn: Intercontinental Title Rematch
Bron Breakker is gunning for redemption against Intercontinental Champion Sami Zayn after a tough loss at Money in the Bank. Can Breakker break Zayn’s hold on the title this time around?
Nia Jax vs. Bayley: WWE Women’s Title Clash
Nia Jax, the Queen of the Ring, challenges Bayley for the WWE Women’s Title. But with Money in the Bank winner Tiffany Stratton lurking around, both better keep an eye out for a potential cash-in.
Logan Paul vs. LA Knight: United States Championship Face-Off
Local hero Logan Paul defends his WWE US Title against fan-favorite LA Knight. Knight’s been chasing his first WWE title win, and tonight could be his moment of glory – or will Paul continue his reign with another controversial victory?
