Top five superstars who must win at WWE SummerSlam 2024

These five superstars could elevate their status with a win at WWE SummerSlam this year.

The global juggernaut of wrestling, WWE, is heading towards Cleveland, Ohio, for one of its biggest Premium Live Events, WWE SummerSlam 2024. The show will take place on Saturday, August 3, at the Cleveland Browns Stadium and promises to be a highly successful PLE, much like the last ones produced.

With a stacked match line-up featuring some of the top WWE superstars eyeing the all-important win at The Biggest Party of the Summer, here are the five WWE superstars who must win at SummerSlam:

5. Liv Morgan

Liv Morgan will be put to the test when she defends her WWE Women’s World Championship against her now-returned and heated rival, Rhea Ripley, at SummerSlam. Mami is out for blood and to decimate the woman who put her on the shelf and seemingly has snatched everything from her. However, this should not end with Ripley winning, as Liv Morgan recently picked up momentum after her title win, and a loss could hamper her monster push that has captivated the WWE Universe.

4. LA Knight

After a long pursuit, LA Knight finally got Logan Paul to sign on the dotted line for a WWE United States Championship at SummerSlam on this week’s SmackDown. Fans have been eagerly awaiting a strong push for the popular Megastar for a long time, and SummerSlam could be a defining moment for him to win his first piece of gold. Therefore, LA Knight must overcome The Maverick at WWE SummerSlam to ascend to the next level.

3. Bayley

Bayley found herself lost in the shuffle before the onset of 2024. However, she has risen to a top star on SmackDown after winning the WWE Women’s Championship at WrestleMania 40. Furthermore, Bayley has been proving her credibility as a top champion, giving opportunities to veterans and rising stars at the title. Therefore, Bayley must clinch the win over Nia Jax at SummerSlam to continue her impressive title reign that has also served as a beacon of opportunity for others.

2. Cody Rhodes

Cody Rhodes‘ career has skyrocketed ever since he dethroned Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 40 for the Undisputed WWE Championship. Moreover, he has also been proving his mantle as a fighting champion, defeating top opponents like AJ Styles and Logan Paul. With WWE Universe finally getting a babyface title holder they can get behind, Rhodes must topple Solo Sikoa at SummerSlam to continue his reign and carry on his responsibilities as the next face of the company.

1. Gunther

Gunther has proved her credibility as a top-tier talent with his impressive 666-day reign as the WWE Intercontinental Champion on the main roster. Moreover, after winning the King of the Ring tournament, fans have a strong belief that it is time for Gunther to rise as a top World Champion. With the timing and stage being perfect, WWE should pull the trigger on Gunther and give him the victory over Damian Priest to become the new World Heavyweight Champion.
