As Summerslam and AEW All In approach, wrestling fans are looking for answers and predictions for these two big shows.

Let’s get into it as we prepare for these big wrestling events.
WWE Summerslam: The Road to the Main Event
Solo Sikoa Roasts Reigns Before SummerSlam 2024
Solo Sikoa’s bold disrespect towards Roman Reigns has The Bloodline on high alert as they head into SummerSlam 2024. Sikoa calls out Reigns as a dictator and says he’s stifling his growth and will remove him as Head of the Table. This internal conflict has everyone in The Bloodline caught in the crossfire. Sikoa is confident and well prepared and says he’s meant to be the leader, while Reigns is warning of severe consequences. The Ringside Report Universe is on the edge of its seat, waiting for the power shift. Get more on this growing feud and their big match.
CM Punk vs. Drew McIntyre
One of the best matches at Summerslam is CM Punk vs Drew McIntyre, with Seth Rollins as the special guest referee. Dave Simon is looking forward to this match:
“CM Punk and Drew McIntyre at Summerslam is going to be big. It’s a big test for Punk after being out since the Royal Rumble. I want to see how he handles McIntyre’s toughness”
Championship Matches
Summerslam 2024 will have several title matches, including Cody defending the WWE Championship against Solo Sikoa and Liv Morgan defending the Women’s World Championship against Rhea Ripley. Simon said:
“Cody against Solo Sikoa and Liv Morgan against Rhea Ripley are matches that could really change everything in WWE. These are must see matches”
Other Matches
The card also has Sami Zayn defending the Intercontinental title against Bron Breakker, Logan Paul defending the United States Championship against LA Knight and Damian Priest defending the World Heavyweight Championship against Gunther. Simon said:
“Sami Zayn and Bron Breakker will be a good match. And I’m looking forward to LA Knight vs. Logan Paul. There’s a lot of room for great storytelling here”.
Johnny North’s Notes
Johnny North talked about the build to Summerslam and the character dynamics:
“I think the build has been good, especially with the Rhea Ripley and Dominik Mysterio drama. It’s added a new layer to their characters, but I don’t like how it’s being done”.
WWE Raw Review
CM Punk’s Return
CM Punk’s return to Raw was the top moment of the week. Dave Simon said the scene with Punk calling out Drew McIntyre was great:
“Punk calls out Drew McIntyre and then Adam Pearce sets up the match for Summerslam with Seth Rollins as the special guest referee. It was big and set everything up”).
Judgment Day Drama
The Judgment Day saga continued to unfold with Rhea Ripley and Dominik Mysterio at the center of it. Johnny North doesn’t like the direction:
“The Rhea and Dominik storyline went off the rails with the addition of Liv Morgan. It doesn’t make sense with their characters and feels forced”.
WWE SmackDown Review
Tag Team Gauntlet Highlights
The Tag Team Gauntlet Match was high stakes as teams fought for a shot at DIY for the WWE Tag Team Championship. The match showcased great tag team dynamics with familiar teams like The Street Profits and The Bloodline. But the surprise team of Baron Corbin and Apollo Crews stole the show, though they lost to The Street Profits. The match had some great eliminations, with Pretty Deadly targeting and The Bloodline being dominant. In the end, Jacob Fatu and Tama Tonga won, and DIY had a big match coming for them. It showed how the tag team division is about alliances and surprise teams.
Main Event: Nia Jax and Tiffany Stratton vs. Bayley and Meechan
The main event was Nia Jax and Tiffany Stratton vs. Bayley and Meechan. Simon said the finish:
“Tiffany Stratton hit Bayley with a briefcase and Nia Jax got the win with a bonsai drop. It was a weird main event and it ended with a controversy”.
AEW All In: The Build
MJF vs. Will Ospreay
In AEW, the main event of All In will be MJF vs. Will Ospreay. This match has been building for a while, and both men are incredible in the ring. Dave Simon is looking forward to it:
“MJF vs. Will Ospreay is going to be two of the best in AEW. I’m looking forward to see how they mesh”.
AEW Dynamite Review
Blood and Guts Match
The Blood and Guts topped the AEW Dynamite match. Johnny North said:
“The Blood and Guts match was great. The double ring and cage setup led to some big spots, Anthony Bowens took some nasty bumps”.
Storylines
The AEW storylines are building to All In. Simon said:
“AEW is doing a great job building up to All In. The storylines are good and the matches announced so far look great”.
