WWE Summerslam 2024 Review

Intro

Agh yes Summerslam, the biggest party of the summer, next to the Reading Festival. As the years have gone on, this show, has become WWE's second highest performing PLE next to wrestlemania, because this show, now acts as a story setter, and on the grounds of this years event, I think it's time to get excited.

HHH segment

HHH welcomed us to the hottest event of the summer, and he did it in style, he welcomed Jellyroll, to perform his new track Liar, he did a decent enough jod, his performance was intergrated, with highlights from the build up. He sounded great, and as a fan of country music, I want some Jellyroll in the UK.

The Miz hosting duties

The Miz then made me feel like, I was reading a Where's Wally book, from my childhood, because I couldn't find our host in the crowd.

WWE Womens Championship Rhea Ripley vs Liv Morgan

Ok. I know this is a hot take. I didn't like this, the story was the main focus, and it should be, because this match was a carwreck, that was unavoidable. It was a clunky mess, both ladies did manage to get it back on track, thanks to the interference of The Human Oven, this led to Liv hitting Rhea with two obLivions to put Rhea away, and retain her belt, but for me it was to late. The multiple counts of sexual innuendo made for an interesting finish, as that dirty rotten little p**** kissed Liv, and left with her, after he had cost Rhea her shot, to get back what she was forced to give up. Ok Oven, listen up mate, run, run as fast as your chicken tenders loving carcass can take you, because on Raw this Monday, you're going to get met with the chant of Mami's going to kill you. This pissed off Damien Priest, who went on anger mode, asking everyone in his faction, did you know this was going to happen? He then landed on Finn Balor, and he said. Nope. Not me mate. I had no idea. This would be a running theme throughout the evening.

Sami Zayn vs Bron Breakker Intercontinental Championship

Bron Breakker wrecked Sami Zayn, to become our new Intercontinental Champion. That's it, the match lasted less than 5 minutes, and it was perfect. WWE's pressentation of Breakker has been great. This. Was. A starmaking performance.

LA Knight vs Logan Paul WWE United States Championship

The only question I have about this match is this, with everything that has been said this week, did I have a lot of fun watching this match? Well. Yeeeeeeeeaaaaaaah. This. Was. Brilliant. From MGK acting as Logans security, Both men having fun with the announcers table. Logan pulling off a sick looking springboard moonsault, his titanium hand met Knights face on several occasions, this made me me think that Knight is The Terminator, because he just kept on coming, no matter what Logan threw at him, however, he was the master of his own victory. MGK handed Logan, his favoured brass knucks, after Knight had a fight with Logans Entourage, Logan tried to hit Knight with a buck shot lariot, but Knight had his number, as he reversed into his BFT finisher for the win, to become the new United States Champion.

Nia Jax vs Bayley WWE Womens Championship

I thought this ran at a better pace, than the previous womens match on the card, from Queen Nia taunting Bayley. Tiffany Stratton, trying to cash in her Pink Panther themed briefcase, to Nia, putting Bayley away with two powerbombs, and 3 eNialators to become our new Womens Champion. I liked this

Cm Punk vs Drew Mcintyre

This. Was, my match of the night, from the guest referee Seth Rollins, showcasing a bejazzled refs uniform, that even Beverly Goldberg would be proud of, to the match itself, which was a story driven fun ride, that has left wanting more, and the good thing is, that I think that's what's going to happen. The physicality was on point. Punk, and. Drew, laid everything out in order to make magic. Punk turned into John Mackenroe, after Seth Counted a two count, this led to the pair having a minor altercation, the bracelet that Drew stole from Punk would end up back in Punks hands, after he caught Seth wearing it. This would cause Punk to take his eye of the ball, Drew hit him with a claymore, for the win, and he takes back what he stole. This is a clear indication that this rivalry isn't over, this gave me real Bret vs Taker 1997 vibes, and I loved it. This screams Hell In A Cell. Bad Blood, me thinks.

Gunther vs Damien Priest WWE World Heavyweight Championship

This match, acted as a perfect examplication of, just how far these two have come, in order to get were they are today. This. Was. A physical war, that had me thinking, I could watch another ten more minutes of this match, after it ends. Gunthers chest got busted open the hardway, so he gave priest some lariots, that looked they sucked to take, because they must've felt, like he was being kissed by a freight train, however the act of betrayal, would rear its ugly head again. Finn Balor stopped a pin, after Priest, had. Gunther beaten, this would enforce the running theme of the show to continue, wrestlers taking their eye of the ball. Priest did just that. Gunther put him in a sleeper hold, that he managed to reverse, and turn the tide, by pinning him for a two count, this failed. Gunther then hit him two powerbombs, and a snug looking sleeper hold in order to get the win, and become, the new World Heavyweight Champion.

Aewsome Truth Segment

And just like that. It's time for some bad comedy, courtesy of Awesome Truth, having a bad back and forth with Atown Down Under, all of this, was terrible, and I cringed all throughout this segment, thankfully people, fear not, because everyone's favourite neighbourhood Jellyroll, was on hand to batter Theory with a chair, and give Waller, a chokeslam, and a five knuckle shuffle, because the hottest time of year to masterbate is the summer. Apparently their was over 57.000 fans in attandence for this. I smell bulls***.

WWE Universal Championship Cody Rhodes vs Solo Sikoa Bloodline Rules

The whole creative behind this was awesome, from Cody's entrance, the cameos from Ferro the dog, and of course Glock Anderson, who I was suprised was allowed in the building, considering the fact that, he's a lethal weapon, to the match itself. And my god, let me tell you. IT WAS AWESOME. Both men eyed each other up, at the beginning, as the mental game of chess began. The story of anything Solo, can do. Cody can do better, was echoed on full display, as they physically met each others match perfectly, this allowed the shenanigans to take a grip of the match, as Cody's mates. Kevin Owens, and. Randy Orton, came to take out the rest of. The Bloodline. Jakub Fatu got in on the act, and attacked Cody, he also got injured from a frogsplash, landing through an announcers table. Cody then hit Solo, with a Cody Cutter, from the air, and then it happened, an orchestral theme played throughout the stadium in Cleveland, and just like a Pheonix rising like a chizzled star, out walked Roman Reigns, he's back, he walked down to the ring, he gave Solo, a Superman punch, and a sphere and walked out, he gave cody a glance, and left. Cody hit Solo with a cross Rhodes, and retained his Championship.

Overview of WWE Summerslam 2024

Gunther vs Priest. Punk, and. Drew. Logan Paul getting his. The Human Oven turning on the hand that feeds him, to a returning Tribal chief, the in ring action was great, and I have to say. I'm excited for WWE going forward.

WWE Summerslam 2024 is a very high 9/10.
