00:00And here we are, SummerSlam, the biggest party of the summer, could be the biggest payoff
00:06for a lot of long simmering, brewing over the pot storylines in WWE.
00:14What's gonna happen?
00:15Let's get into our predictions for SummerSlam 2024.
00:19What do you think?
00:20Come on, you got your fingers, the keyboard's right there.
00:23Who's winning?
00:24Who's losing in Cleveland, Ohio?
00:26This is Sportskeeda Wrestling, I'm Kevin Kellum.
00:28Let us know what you think in the comments below, and hit the like button if you're
00:31too lazy to type out your prediction.
00:33Okay, the one that has Gen Z talking the most is the love triangle over the Women's World
00:39Championship.
00:41Liv Morgan, who captured the title by injuring Rhea Ripley, and then eventually winning it
00:46from Becky Lynch, and then going on her revenge tour to really disrupt the order of the Judgment
00:52Day while Rhea Ripley was on the shelf with that injury, and she tried to steal her man.
00:57By the way, Liv Morgan has a lot of ethical motivation here.
01:00For all of you simping people for Rhea, you have to understand that Liv Morgan was injured
01:06by her first.
01:07Yeah, you may love Rhea, but there's some motivation here.
01:10Of course, all of the angles to get to this point have been red hot, but really the pivotal
01:15point between the hatred between Liv Morgan and Rhea is really Dirty Dominik.
01:21Who is he going to go with?
01:23Yeah, he did say some mean things, and Liv Morgan walked away with her boo-boo face on
01:27Raw, but is this all just a plot to really break Rhea's heart in the end?
01:33Liv Morgan needs this win more than Rhea does.
01:36Rhea is a certified baddie at the top of the card.
01:39That's not going to change, win or lose.
01:42Liv Morgan has a lot more to lose here than Rhea does, and she's going to leave with the
01:46title, and I think she's going to leave with Rhea's man.
01:50That's right.
01:51Liv Morgan wins big in SummerSlam.
01:53That's my prediction.
01:54Also, that storyline doesn't feel like it's ending at SummerSlam.
01:57Seems like a real thing that could find its way in a cell.
02:00Yeah, hell in a cell between Liv and Rhea.
02:02I could see it happening.
02:03The winner gets custody of Dominik.
02:05It's like the ladder match from 2005 all over again.
02:08Speaking of the Judgment Day, Purple and Black will be defending the World Heavyweight Championship.
02:14Damian Priest takes on the winner of the King of the Ring tournament, Gunther.
02:19Gunther smashed Finn Balor on Monday Night Raw in the lead-up to this SummerSlam match.
02:24He only has a handful of matches, and when he has them, he really, really beats people
02:28up.
02:29Now, of course, he lost the Intercontinental Championship at WrestleMania to Sami Zayn,
02:33but he really added a lot of prestige to that title with his record-breaking reign.
02:38Could he be doing that now with the World Heavyweight Championship?
02:41Let's just put it this way.
02:43Everyone is talking about the Ring General leaving Ohio with the World Heavyweight Championship.
02:49For those of you claiming, oh no, but Judgment Day can't lose everything on this SummerSlam
02:53show, there's a longer-term plan here.
02:57In a few weeks, WWE will have the Bash in Berlin, a massive international event, and
03:03they will need a regional star to really add some appeal to it.
03:07Who's more regional than Austrian native Gunther?
03:12Yeah, he will be a big star at that show, and he will likely have a big belt around
03:16his waist when he gets there.
03:18Sorry, Damian.
03:19The fighting champion Sami Zayn defends the Intercontinental Championship against the
03:24surging and many expect a lot of big things from Braun Breaker.
03:30Is he the next big thing in WWE, the new archetype for a Brock Lesnar?
03:36Well, somehow Zayn was able to outsmart him, out-wrestle him in his native land of Canada,
03:43but I think it's going to be a better day for Braun Breaker and a bad day for Sami Zayn.
03:48Braun Breaker breaks through, and becomes the new Intercontinental Champion in what
03:55could be a really glorified squashing of our heartfelt fighting hero, Sami Zayn.
04:02Stand back.
04:03There's a new wrestling quiz coming through.
04:06Check out Brain Buster, the daily quiz that tests your WWE knowledge with winning streaks,
04:12stats, and more.
04:13It's time to see if you're up for the challenge.
04:17The WWE Women's Championship is on the line.
04:20Not just Bayley defending against Nia Jax, but you also have the looming threat of Tiffy
04:24Time, with Tiffany Stratton possibly cashing in.
04:28Something makes me think they teased that cash-in for just a little bit longer and somehow
04:33someway, even though Nia Jax is not like most girls, Bayley gets out of Ohio with the belt.
04:39This one has been brewing for a long time.
04:42Almost the entire year of 2024, United States Champion and celebrity darling who has exceeded
04:47all expectations when the bell rings, Logan Paul, has been avoiding a title confrontation
04:53with, yeah, LA Knight, but something makes me think LA Knight, who won the Slim Jim Battle
04:59Royal at last year's SummerSlam, is not leaving this year's SummerSlam with a win.
05:04There's more in this story, and WWE has some big international events with a big celebrity
05:09name they probably need on the card in Logan Paul.
05:12Logan Paul may be the celebrity, but the longtime wrestling favorite of the Ohio Valley area
05:17is The Miz, who will play host to this year's SummerSlam.
05:21I expect him to get involved with something physically on the card.
05:25Maybe it's that Logan Paul LA Knight match.
05:27Two men that absolutely despise each other, and why don't we add a third guy who despises
05:31those other two guys.
05:33That's right.
05:34CM Punk makes his long-anticipated televised wrestling return in a singles match with WWE
05:41for the first time since 2014.
05:44He will take on Drew McIntyre with special guest referee Seth freaking Rollins, who hates
05:49both Punk and McIntyre.
05:52Yeah, Drew and Punk have been going at it literally since January.
05:56Punk may have been injured in the Royal Rumble, but give props to WWE for creatively keeping
06:01CM Punk in the mix.
06:03He is truly an active character, despite not having any matches.
06:07He's gotten quite physical, he got cleared, and now can he get revenge on Drew, or can
06:12Drew get revenge on Punk?
06:14Both men are equally motivated for this grudge match, but what factor does Seth Rollins play?
06:21Something makes me think we have a really dusty finish here, and it doesn't really matter
06:25who wins because this is going to end up at hell in a cell at Bad Blood.
06:30Whatever happens here, no one really comes out the winner, someone just comes out with
06:34some talking points to cut a promo on Monday Night Raw.
06:37And guess what?
06:38I'm going to want to watch that promo.
06:40No matter what, what happens in this match is more important than how the match actually
06:44ends.
06:45Punk having a big return match and a strong performance is really good, but if you just
06:49want to know who's going to win, Drew McIntyre winning this match means more for the story
06:53than Punk.
06:54The reported main event show-closing match for Summerslam sees Cody Rhodes defend the
06:59undisputed WWE Championship against Solo Sokoa and basically his whole new family, the new
07:04Bloodline he has formed since Roman Reigns was humbled and sent packing off to the shadows
07:10by Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania.
07:12That's right, Bloodline faithful, Cody kicked Roman's ass, and Solo was not happy about
07:18it, so he claims he's the new Tribal Chief and he's this and he's that, and he's
07:23playing all of the things that Roman did before him by having a whole gang of people
07:27beat up on one guy.
07:28Is that what's going to happen here at Summerslam?
07:31There has to be a twist.
07:32Now there will be some interference.
07:34Does that mean Roman Reigns shows up?
07:36Not right now.
07:37Does this story need Roman Reigns right now?
07:39If it's going to build to a big WarGames new Bloodline versus old Bloodline type scenario
07:44as many predict it will, there's a lot of TV to do and a lot of story to tell before
07:49you can even get to making that match.
07:51And you don't have to start making it right now in August when that match happens in late
07:56November.
07:57Cody Rhodes could find a way out of this match, but something makes me think you could have
08:01a shocking finish with Solo Sakoa as the undisputed WWE Champion using all the cheating ways that
08:07Roman used before to get there.
08:09Now if I'm wrong about Roman showing up at Summerslam, so be it.
08:13But what do you think?
08:14That's more important.
08:15Get in the comments below.
08:17Who's winning?
08:18Who's losing at Summerslam?
08:21Let me know in the comments below.
08:22Thanks for watching.
