Top name to replace Solo & dethrone Cody Rhodes, Roman Reigns betrayed? 4 bold predictions for WWE SummerSlam 2024
The Biggest Party of the Summer, WWE SummerSlam is just around the corner. The event will emanate live from Cleveland Browns Stadium in Cleveland, Ohio on August 3. The company has announced a stacked card for the event, including six title matches.
With this being the biggest event of the year after WrestleMania, fans should expect some big things to unfold on August 3. How would things pan out on Saturday night? Here are four bold predictions for WWE SummerSlam:
#4. Finn Balor costs Rhea Ripley a potential win
Rhea Ripley will lock horns with Liv Morgan for the Women's World Title at SummerSlam. However, The Eradicator could lose to her rival due to Finn Balor's betrayal.
For fans unaware, Balor's name was linked to Liv Morgan after the duo was seen leaving the same car separately a while back. Many believed that something was brewing between The Prince and Morgan. However, nothing came of it. That said, things may finally change at SummerSlam.
After getting disrespected and heartbroken by Dominik Mysterio on the previous episode of RAW, Liv could turn her attention towards Balor. The current Women's World Champion could coerce The Demon into betraying her stablemate Rhea Ripley on August 3.
This potential angle could then lead to a massive mixed tag team match which could see Ripley team up with Dom to clash with Liv & Balor.
#3. LA Knight wins the United States Title at WWE SummerSlam
The United States Title match at SummerSlam will see LA Knight take on Logan Paul. The duo have been involved in a heated rivalry over the last couple of months, and are ready to fight it out on August 3.
While it could be anybody's game on Saturday night, The Megastar seems likely to usurp The Maverick. Logan Paul's title run has arguably been a bit underwhelming. It won't be a bad move if the company decides to crown a new champion at SummerSlam.
The Megastar has been doing some of the finest work of his career over the last year or so, and the creative team could finally award him with a big win on Saturday.
#2. Roman Reigns replaces Solo Sikoa and dethrones Cody Rhodes
Another title match at SummerSlam will see Solo Sikoa challenge Cody Rhodes for his gold. However, this arguably doesn't have a big fight feel to it. That said, things may change if the creative team decides to add Roman Reigns to the scene.
The original Tribal Chief is rumored to make his return at SummerSlam. The creative team could have him take out Solo Sikoa right before his clash against Cody Rhodes, ruling him out of the contest. Roman's special counsel, Paul Heyman could then pull some strings backstage to have his client replace Solo against The American Nightmare.
Roman Reigns could then go on to dethrone Rhodes to reclaim the title that he lost at WrestleMania. This potential angle would be a perfect way for Reigns to hit back at both Solo and Rhodes on the same night.
#1. Double return and a massive betrayal
If the creative team doesn't take the aforementioned route, they could have Roman Reigns potentially return during or after Solo Sikoa's match to confront him. However, this may turn into something more as The Tribal Chief's return could be followed by The Rock's return.
There have been murmurs of Solo working in cahoots with The Final Boss. If so, The Brahma Bull could return to confront Roman Reigns following his return on Saturday night. The Final Boss who had the former Big Dog's back throughout WrestleMania season, could shockingly betray his cousin on Saturday night.
The Rock could join forces with the rest of The Bloodline to brutalize Roman Reigns, much to the shock of WWE fans.
