We are on the road to “The Biggest Party of the Summer”
WWE SummerSlam 2024, slated for August 3 in Cleveland Browns Stadium, promises a night of tremendous action and high-stakes drama. Gunther will challenge Damian Priest for the World Heavyweight Championship after winning the King of the Ring competition. On the women’s side, Nia Jax, the Queen of the Ring, will face Bayley for the WWE Women’s Championship in what looks to be a brutal match.
Grudge bouts include CM Punk vs. Drew McIntyre, which was motivated by Punk’s intervention that cost McIntyre championships earlier this year, setting the setup for a devastating confrontation. Furthermore, the undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes is set to battle Solo Sikoa, while Logan Paul defends his United States Championship against LA Knight.
However, as the wrestling industry prepares for this year’s event, we look at an unexpected story from SummerSlam’s rich history: John Cena’s astonishing SummerSlam record.
