Predictions for SummerSlam 2024

Tomorrow (August 3), SummerSlam will make its return to Cleveland at the Cleveland Browns Stadium for a seven-match extravaganza hosted by local hero The Miz. The last time SummerSlam arrived in Cleveland, fans were introduced to the first-ever Boiler Room Brawl between Mankind and The Undertaker.

This year, the PLE will keep fans glued to their seat with some heated rivalries, including one highly anticipated match between two former world champions. We give our predictions for who’ll walk away victorious at the event. SummerSlam can be streamed on Peacock starting at 7 p.m. EST/4 p.m. PST.

Sami Zayn (c) vs. Bron Breakker for the WWE Intercontinental Championship

Zayn's title run has been beneficial towards the evolution of Chad Gable, and it's doing the same for Bron Breakker, who's been looking for their first-ever title on the main roster. Breakker will win the championship so Zayn can focus on the inevitable reunion with The OG Bloodline.

Winner: Bron Breakker

Logan Paul (c) vs. LA Knight for the WWE United States Championship

LA Knight is someone many wanted to hold championship gold since ditching the Max Dupri gimmick. Unfortunately, the wrestler found themselves on the losing end of Money In The Bank and somehow did not appear at WrestleMania in Los Angeles. Logan Paul's U.S. Championship reign is akin to Brock Lesnar's champion runs; in their 270 days as champion, Paul has only defended it twice. We're banking on Knight to win the title and bring some prestige back to the beloved title.

Winner: L.A. Knight

Bayley (c) vs. Nia Jax for the WWE Women's Championship

Bayley and Nia Jax have a storied history dating back to their time on NXT, and on Sunday, the two will add another chapter to their long rivalry. We're expecting Bayley to retain the title to set up a rematch at the next PLE where Nia Jax will win their first women's championship in six years.

Winner: Bayley

Liv Morgan (c) vs. Rhea Ripley for the Women's World Championship

Liv Morgan's twisted love story with Dominik Mysterio has been the talk of Raw for months, and Rhea Ripley has had enough of it. Like everyone else, we're expecting Mysterio to cost Ripley the match and turn on them.

Winner: Liv Morgan

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

Since being world champion, Priest has had successful title defenses, but they all came from interferences from the Judgment Day and CM Punk. Gunther is coming fresh from having the longest Intercontinental Championship reign of all time at 666 days, and they're looking to obtain the world title for another long reign. A Priest face turn is inevitable, but will they have their hand raised at the end of the match? We're guessing Priest will retain leading to a feud with Finn Balor amid the Judgment Day collapsing.

Winner: Damien Priest

CM Punk vs. Drew McIntyre (w/Seth Rollins as the guest referee)

We've been waiting for this match for months, and we're expecting it to be an explosive one with the addition of Seth Rollins at the guest referee. This match can go either way as we expect the three wrestlers to tangle with each other through WrestleMania. We’re giving it to Punk just to watch McIntyre suffer a bit longer.

Winner: CM Punk

Cody Rhodes (c) vs. Solo Sikoa for the Undisputed WWE Championship

Cody vs Solo will be a hot one with The Bloodline 2.0 looking to scare off the champion with the numbers game. Roman Reigns will return to cost Solo the championship and begin setting up the inevitable War Games match. For Rhodes, they'll probably wind up in a feud with Randy Orton for the belt. While face Orton has been fun to watch, heel Orton is what the fans want.

Winner: Cody Rhodes
