WWE Summer Slam 2024 Rundown

Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy! WHAT A SUMMER SLAM! This one had to be one of THE best ones, and we have A LOT to unpack. So buckle up, friends.. let's get into it!

 

-Liv Morgan (c) vs Rhea Ripley

At first, I am not gonna lie.. it pissed me off. The in and out of the ring really was stupid, but I can understand the build up. Once the match started.. and fighting began, it was intense. You could feel the importance and the intensity of it all. I didn't think nothing of Dom taking the chair away from Mami at first.. because of course she couldn't win the title in a DQ situation. However, after we saw the distraction and chair spot.. we knew it was over. Liv retained the title with the assistance of Dom Dom. It wasn't over there, my friends. In the end, we saw a full turn with Dom kissing Liv and helping her up. You could see the shock and sadness in Mami's face after the match and as they left up the ramp. This... this my fiends will be a hell of a feud in the weeks/months to come. But where does this leave Dom? Are we being fooled once again?? A few moments later, we see a PISSED Damian in the back ready to fight. Dom Dom is in trouble. 

Sami Zayn (c) vs Bron Breakker (Intercontinental Championship) 

This match was pretty damn good! Very fast paced and hard hitting. On the main roster, Bron has done very good and for the most part really proven himself to be worthy of being there. As for Sami, his run thus far has been great and I have enjoyed seeing him shine. But it was just time.. Bron Breakker WON his title and the pop was great! I think that this will really seal the deal and that he will prove himself further. I am hoping the next feuds with Bron will be just as good. I am excited for him!

Logan Paul (c) vs LA Knight (US Championship)

I have been looking forward to this match since it simply hinted at it months ago. I am not fond of Logan's title run.. as there hasn't been a lot of title defenses or appearances from the champ. LA has busted his ass for this moment, and it was time. The match itself was pretty good, and a few close calls had me on the edge of my seat. We saw Logan do his best to cheat, and honestly.. I was SCREAMING at the tv. I was SURE that Logan was going to retain, and that place was going to go insane in the worst way. However, this just wasn't the cases. LA Knight got the win, and got his first championship on the main roster! My heart has been so happy ever sense. I cannot wait to see the feuds that will come out of this! 

Bayley (c) vs Nia Jax (Women's Championship)

I honestly don't know what I expected going into this match. My mind has been set on Tiffy cashing in, and starting a feud with Nia. The match itself was pretty steady, and some of the spots were questionable in who would win. We saw Tiffy come out, and honestly... I was expecting something crazy. It SHOOK me when Nia won! I did not expect that at all! Does this set up for Nia/Tiffy down the line? I have a feeling it won't end well for Tiffy tho. Bayley has done amazing on this run, and I hope to see her in the mix of things again soon. Her character has been wonderful! 

CM Punk vs Drew McIntyre 

Who else LOVED Seth's outfit? I was fully expecting a crop top, but this outfit was wonderful! This match was just as hard hitting as I thought. It does however make me wonder if Punk was as healed as they said.. somethings seemed a little questionable in my opinion. We saw Seth pick up Punk's bracelet and put it on.. which caused some tense moments between Punk and Seth. We saw McIntyre did Punk with a low bow while Seth was down. In the end, Drew hit Punk with a Claymore, and Seth gave him the 1,2,3 for the win! WHAT A STORY! However, this makes me believe the story is not over... not only with Drew.. but now we for sure have Seth in the mix. 

Damian Priest (c) vs Gunther (World Heavyweight Championship)

Y'ALL! This match was AMAZING! Give both men their flowers on this one. This match was hard hitting and you could tell the importance of it all. Both men worked their ass off, and it showed! Once again, I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. Gunther was even bleeding due to DPs chops. But once Finn showed up, I knew it was over. Regardless, I held on until the very end. Finn got involved multiple times during the match but the final came when he detracted DP enough for Gunther to get the sleeper on him. I do love that DP never tapped nor was pinned. I'm still pretty bitter.. but I know that Gunther will be an AMAZING champ. I am pretty hype to see Finn/DP.. as it has been a long time coming for the two. 

Cody Rhodes (c) vs Solo Sikoa (Undisputed WWE Championship)

I was a little worried about this match, because honestly.. I didn't know what all to expect. The match started out pretty good. The match did last a little longer than I thought without any interference... but of course like clockwork.. it did happen. Once the bloodline got involved.. we saw Randy/KO even the odds. They both chased the bloodline out of the ring and away for Cody/Solo to continue. It wasn't until Jacob Fatu came about.. to do his best to help Solo. We saw Cody be put through a table.. and I really hope Jacob is okay.. he looked as he might have been hurt during that spot. Some say he was wearing a boot this morning, but nothing confirmed on an injury. 

Shit hit the fan when we heard Roman Reign's music... THE POP WAS AMAZING. He came to the ring with a purpose, and took out Solo with a spear and superman punch. Cody/Roman exhcnaged a look, and it wasn't long until we saw Cody get the win!

WHAT A SHOW!

We have SOOOOOOOOO much to look forward to tomorrow on Monday Night Raw!

Overall: 9.3/10
