WWE’s biggest summer event is ready to kick off the festivities. SummerSlam 2024 is here, promising a spectacular show perfect for an NFL stadium. As the second most significant event on the WWE calendar after WrestleMania, SummerSlam features a jam-packed card with every singles championship on the line.
This could be the final one-night SummerSlam before it transitions to a two-night format in Minneapolis in two years. With next year’s location still undecided, this event holds a special significance.
So, let’s toast to a thrilling seven-match lineup hosted by hometown favorite The Miz, ensuring a smooth and exciting event.
Sami Zayn (Intercontinental Champion) vs. Bron Breakker
Sami Zayn’s win at Money in the Bank was a surprise, but can he beat Bron Breakker twice? With Zayn’s recent victory over Dominik on RAW, it’s hard to see Bron losing again.
Winner: Bron Breakker
OM Pick: Bron Breakker
Logan Paul (United States Champion) vs. LA Knight
Logan Paul continues to draw heat, but can LA Knight dethrone him? Knight’s rise over the past year has been meteoric, and if he can’t beat Paul, who can? Despite Paul’s heel tactics and recent troubles, Knight seems poised for victory.
However, given recent SmackDown events, Paul’s reign might continue.
Winner: LA Knight
OM Pick: Logan Paul
Damian Priest (World Heavyweight Championship) vs. Gunther
Damian Priest’s storyline with The Judgement Day adds layers to this match. Will there be a betrayal or a disqualification?
Gunther is a future star, but Priest might retain his title, especially with potential interference from his Judgement Day allies.
Winner: Damian Priest
OM Pick: Gunther
Liv Morgan (Women’s World Champion) vs. Rhea Ripley
Liv Morgan’s emotional rollercoaster with Dominik adds drama to this bout. Is their breakup genuine, or is it a ploy?
Despite her recent breakdown on RAW, Liv might have one last trick to retain her title.
Winner: Liv Morgan
OM Pick: Liv Morgan
Cody Rhodes (Undisputed WWE Championship) vs. Solo Sikoa
Solo Sikoa has been a formidable opponent, but he lacks the star power of Roman Reigns. Cody Rhodes is likely to retain his title, with the Bloodline saga continuing to add twists and turns.
Expect a solid match, but Cody’s reign isn’t ending here.
Winner: Cody Rhodes
OM Pick: Cody Rhodes
Bayley (WWE Women’s Championship) vs. Nia Jax
This match, while intriguing, feels a bit lost in the shuffle. With the added element of Tiffany and the MITB contract, Bayley is poised for a hard-fought victory, potentially with some unexpected interference.
Winner: Bayley
OM Pick: Bayley
CM Punk vs. Drew McIntyre (Special Guest Ref: Seth Rollins)
This grudge match is the true main event, filled with bad blood and intense rivalries. While Drew McIntyre has carried the feud, it’s hard to see CM Punk losing his first one-on-one match in WWE in a decade.
Seth Rollins adds a layer of unpredictability, making this match one to watch closely.
Winner: CM Punk
OM Pick: CM Punk
Get Ready to Rumble!
With so many high-profile matches booked for WWE SummerSlam on August 3, many fans are wondering what the last match of the night will be. The animosity between CM Punk and Drew McIntyre suggests it could be worthy of the main event spot, especially since it’s Punk’s first pay-per-view singles match in WWE since 2013.
On the other hand, Cody Rhodes versus Solo Sikoa for the Undisputed WWE Championship is another strong contender for the main event, as history suggests the biggest prize in any company should have the biggest spot on the card. WWE Hall of Famer Mark Henry agrees with this sentiment.
