It’s time for WWE’s biggest party of the summer.
Outside of WrestleMania, SummerSlam is one of the grandest premium live events in WWE’s calendar, and one look at Saturday’s slate, it is very much shaping up to be a night that can drastically change the course of wrestling.
There will be seven matches taking place at the home of the NFL's Cleveland Browns, six of which will be for championship gold, headlined by Cody Rhodes defending the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship against the new “Tribal Chief,” Solo Sikoa. But don’t discount the one non-title match; it’s one of the highest anticipated matches of the year with CM Punk and Drew McIntyre finally taking their heated rivalry inside the ring.

SummerSlam history
SummerSlam has been a yearly staple for WWE for decades. It first took place in 1988 at Madison Square Garden and it’s been held every year since then. This year will be the 37th edition of SummerSlam.
This year’s edition will be the first time it’s taking place in Cleveland since 1996, when it took place at the Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse.
Cody Rhodes vs. Solo Sikoa match stipulation: What are Bloodline rules?
Bloodline rules are back.
On Friday Night SmackDown just before SummerSlam, Rhodes agreed to the title match against Sikoa being under Bloodline rules.
The match will essentially be a no disqualification match, meaning anything goes. It was the stipulation of the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship match between Rhodes and Reigns at WrestleMania 40, which saw all sorts of surprises with John Cena, The Rock and The Undertaker.
Who is the special guest referee for CM Punk vs. Drew McIntyre?
Seth Rollins will be the special guest referee for the bout between CM Punk and Drew McIntyre. Rollins has history with both stars and he has made it known he doesn’t like either one of them, making it an intriguing addition to the match.
Will Roman Reigns return at SummerSlam 2024?
Will the real “Tribal Chief” stand up?
There’s speculation that Roman Reigns will make his return to WWE on Saturday for the first time since he lost the WWE title at WrestleMania 40 in April. Since then, he’s been absent from programming while Solo Sikoa has taken over as the “Tribal Chief” of The Bloodline.
Sikoa has reigned terror since taking on the leadership role; he’s brought in Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa and Jacob Fatu to the group, and he’s made it known this is his place to run and Reigns no longer is in charge. He even attacked the “Wiseman” and WWE Hall of Famer Paul Heyman after he refused to acknowledge him as the “Tribal Chief.”
With all the turmoil of The Bloodline, fans are hoping Reigns makes his return to WWE Saturday night. Especially since the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship match will be under Bloodline rules, meaning anything goes in the match, it gives a perfect opportunity for Reigns to come back, regardless of how the title fight ends.
