Roman Reigns to return with 2 major names; 4 big title changes? - 7 last-minute predictions for WWE SummerSlam 2024
The thirty-seventh annual WWE SummerSlam will take place tonight at the Cleveland Browns Stadium in Cleveland, Ohio. The event promises a spectacular night of action and drama for the fans.
Seven matches are set for the event. Cody Rhodes will defend the Undisputed WWE Championship against Solo Sikoa, while GUNTHER will battle Damian Priest for the World Heavyweight Championship.
WWE Women's Champion Bayley will put her title on the line against Nia Jax and Rhea Ripley will challenge Liv Morgan for the Women's World Championship. Moreover, Bron Breakker will get an Intercontinental Championship rematch against Sami Zayn.
Furthermore, Logan Paul will defend the United States Championship against LA Knight. A heated encounter between CM Punk and Drew McIntyre is also set for The Biggest Party of the Summer, with Seth Rollins serving as the special guest referee.
Here are the final predictions for WWE SummerSlam 2024.
#7. GUNTHER wins the World Heavyweight Championship
King GUNTHER will get his World Heavyweight Championship match against Damian Priest at SummerSlam tonight.
The Archer of Infamy's almost four-month-long reign has seemingly over-delivered, but it is finally time for him to drop the title. GUNTHER has been an unstoppable force under Triple H and it is likely that he will be crowned the new World Heavyweight Champion at The Biggest Party of the Summer.
Priest pinning GUNTHER looks unlikely, so The Ring General will probably walk out of SummerSlam with the gold.
Some shenanigans from The Judgment Day are possible during the match, but they may end up costing Priest the title to set up the inevitable implosion of the group.
#6. CM Punk embarrasses Drew McIntyre again, Seth Rollins sparks controversy at SummerSlam
CM Punk and Drew McIntyre have been embroiled in an intense rivalry throughout the year. The Best in the World cost The Scottish Warrior the World Heavyweight Championship on three different occasions to embarrass him.
With Seth Rollins set to be the Special Guest Referee for the match, some tension between him and the two competitors is expected at SummerSlam. The Visionary will likely cause a controversial finish to the match.
Punk winning his first singles match in WWE in over ten and a half years at SummerSlam seems like the outcome the Stamford-based promotion will go for.
#5. LA Knight dethrones Logan Paul as the United States Champion, Jake Paul appears at SummerSlam
LA Knight will finally get a United States Championship match against Logan Paul at SummerSlam tonight.
The Maverick's title reign has been criticized as being lackluster by some fans because of the small number of defenses. After he recently sparked controversy online, it is looking very likely that he will drop the title to The Megastar at The Biggest Party of the Summer.
Logan Paul teased a surprise from "Mr. Cleveland," which could be an appearance from his brother Jake Paul during the match. The Problem Child could try to help his brother retain the title, but will probably fail if he attempts to do so.
#4. Dominik Mysterio betrays Rhea Ripley to help Liv Morgan retain her title
Rhea Ripley ruined the Liv Morgan Revenge Tour after returning from injury by pulling Dominik Mysterio back to her side again. The friends turned foes will finally go head-to-head for the Women's World Championship at SummerSlam.
Dirty Dom reuniting with Ripley may not last long, as he may betray Mami tonight. He could have just gotten back on her side to earn her trust again, only to stab her in the back and help Morgan retain the title at SummerSlam.
Morgan has treated Dirty Dom much better than Ripley, so it would make sense if he decides to take the Women's World Champion's side.
The Eradicator will probably dominate Morgan throughout their match and lose after Dirty Dom interrupts to help Morgan win.
#3. Bron Breakker gets the biggest win of his career at SummerSlam
Bron Breakker challenged Sami Zayn for the Intercontinental Championship at Money in the Bank and failed to capture the title. The outcome was very shocking as many fans expected the second-generation superstar to win based on how he has been booked by WWE since his arrival on the main roster.
It is very likely that Breakker will win the rematch at SummerSlam tonight and become the new Intercontinental Champion.
WWE already booked Breakker to be pinned clean last month. He cannot afford another loss, otherwise it would damage his character.
#2. Tiffany Stratton cashes in to win the WWE Women's Championship
Since winning the WWE Women's Championship at WrestleMania XL, Bayley has defended the title thrice so far. She will put it on the line against Nia Jax, who already pinned her in a tag team match on the July 26th episode of SmackDown.
Some feel The Role Model's reign has been underwhelming and it is likely that a new champion will walk out of SummerSlam.
WWE could have Nia Jax win the title and then have Tiffany Stratton come out to cash in her Money in the Bank contract. In another scenario, Stratton could cash in during the match to make it a Triple-Threat bout.
The Center of the Universe has risen to the top of the Women's division quickly, and if she hadn't landed in hot water before King and Queen of the Ring, she probably would have gotten a singles match against Bayley at the Biggest Party of the Summer.
However, her actions did not seemingly hurt her push and it is possible that she will walk out of SummerSlam as the new WWE Women's Champion.
#1. Roman Reigns, Paul Heyman, and Jimmy Uso return during Cody Rhodes vs. Solo Sikoa
Cody Rhodes and Solo Sikoa will collide in a Bloodline Rules Match for the Undisputed WWE Championship in the main event of SummerSlam.
Tama Tonga, Jacob Fatu, and Tonga Loa will probably try to help their Tribal Chief win the match as the match will have no disqualifications or count-outs. Randy Orton and Kevin Owens' involvement in the match is also possible.
The highly anticipated return of Roman Reigns will likely take place during the match. He could return with Paul Heyman and Jimmy Uso, as both of them were taken out of The Bloodline by Solo Sikoa.
The former Tribal Chief could lay out Sikoa with a Spear to cost him the match and teach him a lesson for misusing his power during his cousin's absence.
