It’s time to move to Cleveland for some of the biggest events of the summer. The Cleveland Browns Stadium will host WWE SummerSlam on Saturday night with a surprisingly deep lineup of events ready to park in front of thousands of fans. The main tournament is about to feature six title matches and one non-title match that could steal the screen.
Larger name adjustments can also make for some interesting theater. WWE Undisputed Champion Cody Rhodes is about to face Solo Sikoa. Rhodes was goaded into a second episode of “Bloodline Rules” closer to addressing the cases against Roman Reigns at WrestleMania. But this generation could also be different, as Bloodline’s version of Sikoa is apparently more heartless. Additionally, International Heavyweight Champion Damian Priest appears to show an immense challenge to current Intercontinental Champion Gunther. There are enough ways to move forward, including the kind of support Priest will receive from his Wisdom While companions.
Additionally, CM Punk will compete in his first singles match on WWE TV since 2014 when he faces Drew McIntyre with Seth Rollins as the visiting referee. The 3 males have problems with each other and malicious blood is likely to spill over.
Elsewhere, there is the emotional triangle between women’s world champion Liv Morgan, Dominik Mysterio and Rhea Ripley. When Ripley suffered real trauma and was pressured to give up the name, which was due to Morgan, the current champion began making advances against Mysterio. With Ripley off television, Morgan and Mysterio appeared to begin a relationship, but once Ripley returned, Mysterio swore that he hated Morgan and was unbreakable with Ripley. Now the two meet on Saturday and Mysterio will surely consider the combination.
Take a look below at the outfits shown for WWE SummerSlam. Development streams continue to exist on Peacock on Saturday and the main card will form at 8 pm ET.
2024 WWE SummerSlam fits
CM Punk vs. Drew McIntyre (*Special visiting referee adjustment): The most anticipated SummerSlam match is possibly the only one without a name on the line. WWE has masterfully told the story of Punk and McIntyre. The Scot mocked Punk’s trauma propensity many times when Punk was injured in the ring with him at the Royal Rumble. Punk retaliated by ruining McIntyre’s WrestleMania hour, Scotland’s homecoming, and cashing in on Cash in the Cupboard. McIntyre hospitalized Punk with a brutal attack in Chicago between Strike on the Fort and Cash in the Cupboard, in addition to their successful showdown in Cleveland. Nation wondered how Seth Rollins’ long-standing issues with all men would contribute to the adjustment. Rollins will grant the role of visiting referee for Punk vs. McIntyre, mentioning that he will implement rules that he considers compatible during the match.
Undisputed WWE Championship: Cody Rhodes (c) vs. Sikoa only (conform to Bloodline regulations): Rhodes ended Roman Reigns’ dominance at WrestleMania, but he’s far from done with The Bloodline. The faction model led by Sikoa improved dramatically with the addition of Jacob Fatu. The Bloodline defeated Rhodes, Orton and Kevin Owens in a six-man tag team match at Cash in the Cupboard, giving Sikoa a reasonable claim to challenge Rhodes for the undisputed name at SummerSlam.
International Heavyweight Championship – Damian Priest (c) vs. Gunther: Gunther defeated Randy Orton in the King of the Ring finals to solidify his overall title opportunity at SummerSlam. Priest’s run as world champion has been chosen, but he is not yet on his feet. Priest defeated McIntyre at WrestleMania 40, Strike on the Fort and Cash in the Cupboard, but required Punk’s help in each generation. Many expect record-setting former Intercontinental Champion Gunther to be crowned world champion at SummerSlam.
WWE Women’s Championship – Bayley (c) vs. Nia Jax: Jax defeated Darkhorse finalist Lyra Valkyria to be crowned Queen of the Ring. Jax hasn’t been a core presence on SmackDown since, however, her unused alliance with Tiffany Stratton may give her an advantage in battling champion Bayley.
Women’s International Championship – Liv Morgan (c) vs. Rhea Ripley: “Mommy” is home and Morgan has a real condition. Morgan’s excursion to avenge trauma was original by chance. Ripley was legitimately injured during a behind-the-curtain fight with Morgan, a story built around the trauma Morgan suffered in the past in a fight with Ripley. Therefore, Morgan captured the global women’s name of Becky Lynch thanks to the help of Dominik Mysterio. After courting Mysterio for weeks and helping him defeat his estranged father, Rey Mysterio, Morgan planted a kiss on Dominik that preceded Ripley’s return in the closer moments. The opponents will clash at SummerSlam with global female identity at stake.
United States Championship – Logan Paul (c) vs. LA Knight: There was a way to deny that WWE was committed to excluding Paul from a PPV match in his homeland. Knight has been searching for Paul for months, penniless, at Paul’s mansion to take advantage of his swimming puddle and pinned Paul in a Cash in the Cupboard qualifying match. Knight goaded Paul into signing an identity protection guarantee at SummerSlam on the July 19 episode of SmackDown. Knight turns out to be ready to earn his first name on a major roster and take the US championship in one fell swoop.
Intercontinental Championship – Sami Zayn (c) vs. Bron Breakker: Breakker is the worst unused on Raw, but his inexperience values ​​him into an intercontinental name that fits Zayn on Cash in the Cupboard. Breakker earned a shot at redemption after defeating Ilja Dragunov in a Deny. 1 contender on the July 22 episode of Uncooked.
*Rollins will concede because the private visiting referee
