4 colossal SummerSlam 2024 questions that must be confronted on WWE RAW
WWE RAW after SummerSlam 2024 emanates from Baltimore, Maryland with an enormous amount of fallout to address from the Cleveland event. The red brand was massively represented in Cleveland Browns stadium with three titles on the line and the only non-title bout on the card. With two new champions, two massive betrayals, and a far-from-finished blood feud, Adam Pearce will have his hands full.
As it usually is coming out of such a huge show, the audience will have many questions about multiple storylines going forward. The flagship show will, in many ways, begin a new era, but to do that, it will first have to provide some answers to certain queries held by the thousands of fans in attendance and millions at home.
Here are four of the most pressing questions from SummerSlam that must be faced head-on during WWE RAW:
#4: Who will challenge WWE RAW's new champions after SummerSlam 2024?
SummerSlam 2024 was a landscape-changing event not just for WWE RAW but for the entire company. The red brand in particular crowned new World Heavyweight and Intercontinental Champions in Gunther and Bron Breakker. Given that these are two of the most dominant stars on the roster, they may hold the titles for a very long time.
With The Ring General and Unpredictable Badass installed as the new pillars of the flagship show, who will be first to step up to them? Will Sami Zayn seek a rematch with Breakker despite losing clean or will it be someone new? Will Damian Priest cite Finn Balor's interference as a reason to seek another match with The Imperium leader?
What if Zayn moves to the World Title scene, given that he's the only man to pin the new world champion on the main roster?
The first challengers chosen on the red brand will be important to set the tone for the respective champions' reigns.
#3: How will WWE RAW kick off the Road to Bash In Berlin?

WWE's next PLE after SummerSlam 2024 will be the first-ever Bash In Berlin. The Stamford-based promotion has recently had great success with international PLEs, particularly getting it right in presenting matches relevant to the audiences in attendance. The Germany event will be an opportunity to showcase certain legends of the European pro-wrestling scene, some of whom are on RAW.
Will Triple H and Co. finally pull the trigger on Ilja Dragunov confronting Gunther in preparation for August 31? Will Pete Dunne get a PLE platform for his eventual fight with Sheamus? Which red brand feuds will be built up to culminate in the Uber Arena? WWE RAW after SummerSlam will provide an idea of what direction the Stamford-based promotion has in mind going forward.
#2: What's the fallout from CM Punk, Seth Rollins, and Drew McIntyre's actions at SummerSlam?
Drew McIntyre defeated CM Punk in a highly emotional SummerSlam battle officiated by Seth Rollins. The animosity shared by all three men created a rollercoaster of emotions not only for the fans but also for the competitors involved. By the end of the match, there was arguably more new hostility created than old beef settled.
With that in mind, how will Punk react to his loss, and to McIntyre once more leaving with his bracelet? What new provocation does the Scottish Warrior have in mind to get under his bitter enemy's skin? How will Rollins react to being hit with a GTS whilst carrying out his refereeing duties? It will be interesting to see which of the many available directions the creative team will pursue next.
#1: What's next for The Judgment Day on WWE RAW?
SummerSlam 2024 was a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad PLE for The Judgment Day. The Cleveland Browns stadium witnessed WWE RAW's top heel faction implode in spectacular fashion, with Dominik Mysterio and Finn Balor screwing Rhea Ripley and Damian Priest respectively out of world title matches. Thus, the audience is anxious to find out what comes next.
How will new babyfaces Ripley and Priest gain revenge on the treacherous Mysterio and Balor? Will The Eradicator and The Archer of Infamy get rematches for their respective world title shots? Is The Judgment Day splitting into opposing factions, replacing Mami with Women's World Champion Liv Morgan, or disbanding once and for all?
WWE RAW after Summerslam will clear the air as to what's next for the iconic faction.
