Damian Priest vs. Gunther (World Heavyweight Championship Match)​

2024 King of the Ring Winner Gunther will challenge World Heavyweight Champion Damian Priest at SummerSlam.

The Ring General’s opponent was in question from the moment Gunther won the King of the Ring Tournament, as Priest has defended his title against the likes of Drew McIntyre and Seth “Freakin” Rollins and even survived a Money in the Bank cash-in from The Scottish Warrior.

Priest nevertheless defeated his challengers and now puts his title on the line against Gunther in a first-time match.

As Intercontinental Champion, Gunther enjoyed a record 666-day reign that finally ended when he was defeated by Sami Zayn at WrestleMania XL.

Since his loss to Zayn, Gunther has steamrolled his competition, even defeating Randy Orton in the King of the Ring Final.

Priest has endured an impressive reign since cashing in his Money in the Bank contract on McIntyre at WrestleMania XL and defeating him for the title before retaining against Jey Uso, McIntyre and Rollins.

The Archery of Infamy’s grip on the top has been tenuous, however, as The Judgment Day have recently experienced turmoil, highlighted by Women’s World Champion Liv Morgan’s infatuation with “Dirty” Dominik Mysterio.

Will Priest slay another dragon, or will Gunther become the next World Heavyweight Champion?

WWE Women’s Champion Bayley vs. Nia Jax​

Bayley will defend the WWE Women’s Championship against 2024 Queen of the Ring winner Nia Jax.

Since dethroning IYO SKY at WrestleMania XL, Bayley has enjoyed a successful run as champion, most recently retaining her title against Piper Niven at WWE Clash at the Castle: Scotland.

Jax dominated the 2024 Queen of the Ring Tournament, punctuating it with a win over Lyra Valkyria in the Finals and securing a championship opportunity at SummerSlam.

Both Superstars are now set for battle, but Ms. Money in the Bank Tiffany Stratton is looming after implying that the WWE Women’s Title is the one she’s eyeing.

Can Bayley overcome arguably her greatest challenge against the dangerous Jax?​

Women’s World Champion Liv Morgan vs. Rhea Ripley​

At SummerSlam, Rhea Ripley looks to begin her own revenge tour against Women’s World Champion Liv Morgan.

After The Nightmare injured Morgan and put her out of action for nearly a year, Morgan came back in a big way in 2024, embarking on her “Liv Morgan Revenge Tour.”

Her first stop was injuring Ripley and forcing Mami to relinquish her Women’s World Title.

With Ripley out of the picture, Morgan defeated Becky Lynch to win the Women’s World Title before turning her attention to “Dirty” Dominik Mysterio and the rest of The Judgment Day.

Morgan’s influences allowed Finn Bálor and JD McDonagh to become World Tag Team Champions, and she slowly corrupted Mysterio by putting him in comprising positions and kissing him on several occasions.

On the July 8 episode of Raw, Mysterio and Morgan were once again seen in a compromising spot before both were shocked at the arrival of Ripley.

With The Nightmare back, her gaze is solely focused on regaining the title she never lost.

Can Ripley take back the Women’s World Title from Morgan? And how much a factor will “Dirty” Dom play in the match?
​

 

[Tranquilo Jay]

Going to be a good show one thinks there's change but what title and to whom will be victorious that's question I ask .
Find out at summerslam 2024: Rhea might not win the title because of Dom trying to help her. Or has WWE got that much faith in her to make her champ straight back that solidifies her as the the top woman in the company. Liv is very devious and is in the run of her career so far let's see see. It should be an entertaining match.

Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes vs. Solo Sikoa​

Solo Sikoa is out to return the Undisputed WWE Championship to The Bloodline when "The New Tribal Chief" challenges Cody Rhodes at SummerSlam.

When Roman Reigns took a leave after losing the Undisputed WWE Title to The American Nightmare at WrestleMania, Sikoa took the mantle of Tribal Chief and made significant changes to the deadly faction. After ruthlessly brutalizing his brother Jimmy Uso and adding the destructive Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa – sons of the legendary Haku – Sikoa then secured a new enforcer in the form of the ultra-destructive Jacob Fatu.

Solo has made it clear that he is coming for the title, and when he pinned Rhodes in a Six-Man Tag Team Match at WWE Money in the Bank, that showdown seemed inevitable.

Rhodes agreed and proposed the matchup himself in a face-to-face with Solo.

Is the Undisputed WWE Championship destined to return to The Bloodline? Don't miss SummerSlam, streaming live Saturday, Aug. 3, at 7 ET/4 PT on Peacock in the United States and on WWE Network everywhere else.
