Summerslam 2024 is going to be yet another outdoor stadium show for the WWE and the fans’ anticipation around it has been pretty big. This particular show has always been dubbed as the second biggest WWE premium live event of the year which usually sees a global audience coming into the host city for a grand weekend.
This year shouldn’t be any different as Summerslam 2024 emanates from the iconic Cleveland Browns Stadium in Cleveland, Ohio on Saturday, August 3. The initial poster revealed by the WWE for the PLE had Cody Rhodes, Logan Paul, Jade Cargill, The Miz, Bianca Belair, and Rhea Ripley on it. Now, it appears that being the WWE Champion, Cody Rhodes is gearing up to main-event the show.

A brief look at Cody Rhodes – Solo Sikoa feud ahead of Summerslam 2024
Rhodes and Sikoa have previously wrestled in one single match on Raw before WrestleMania 39 in March 2023, where Rhodes emerged victorious. The feud was then reignited following Rhodes’ victory over AJ Styles in an “I Quit” match at the Clash at the Castle PLE. Held at the OVO Hydro in Glasgow, Scotland, this match also marked the beginning of an already anticipated rivalry that looks to be settled at Summerslam 2024.
After the aforementioned match, Sikoa confronted Rhodes for a tense staredown. The Bloodline then came out to ambush Rhodes, only for Randy Orton and Kevin Owens to come out and save the champion. This set of trios then further continued the storyline of Smackdown on the road to Summerslam 2024.
As first confirmed by Logan Paul in early March, SummerSlam 2024 will take place at the Cleveland Browns Stadium in Cleveland, Ohio on Saturday, August 3. Cleveland being his hometown, Logan is also expected to be a big part of the PLE.
