Pinfalls: WWE SummerSlam 2024

Pinfalls returns with a deep dive into WWE SummerSlam 2024. My The Johngy “OR ELSE” podcast partner Tommy Else and I are joined by Joseph White.

Owner and operator of Whitney Collectibles in Glen Ellyn, Illinois, Joseph brings a wealth of wrestling knowledge to Pinfalls. One look around his Whitney Collectibles stores reveals his love of wrestling. We’ll see how that translates to picking winners.

Emanating from Cleveland Browns Stadium, this is the 37th SummerSlam. Cleveland previously hosted SummerSlam 1996, but from the Gund Arena (now Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse). Hosting the Premium Live Event (I hate that term) will be The Miz.

Recapping our statistics, I have a two win lead over Tommy this year, but I trail him by one win lifetime over our four years of doing Pinfalls. I won our first year, but Tommy has taken the last two years. Still, over 150+ matches, it is pretty wild to be separated by only one win.

SummerSlam 2024 features seven matches, including six title matches and one other match with huge title implications.

Undisputed WWE Championship
Cody Rhodes (c) vs. Solo Sikoa

World Heavyweight Championship
Damian Priest (c) vs. Gunther

Women’s World Championship
Liv Morgan (c) vs. Rhea Ripley

WWE Women’s Championship
Bayley (c) vs. Nia Jax

United States Championship
Logan Paul (c) vs. LA Knight

Intercontinental Championship
Sami Zayn (c) vs. Bron Breakker

CM Punk vs. Drew McIntyre (With Special Guest Referee Seth “Freakin” Rollins)

I never give out spoilers, but I will admit there was a lot more agreement on these matches than I expected, especially with three people analyzing the matches. We did have some different ideas on the path to our predictions and the aftermath of matches. We never discuss any of this prior to recording.

Make your picks and then watch the video for our opinions. Enjoy SummerSlam Saturday. Check back here for more wrestling coverage.
