The two King and Queen of the Ring winners of this year are slated to feature in two big title matches at the PLE in two co-main-events.

CM Punk, one of the major star powers of the WWE has been sidelined since January due to a triceps injury, but he was kept under the spotlight thanks to his feud with Drew McIntyre.

Summerslam 2024: Seth Rollins to be a special guest referee
According to the reports of WrestleVotes, Seth Rollins is currently scheduled to be the special guest referee for the much-anticipated CM Punk vs. Drew McIntyre match at SummerSlam 2024,
“Source states the current plans have Seth Rollins as the special guest referee for the CM Punk vs. Drew McIntyre SummerSlam match.”
It was further declared by the source that the current assumption is that CM Punk will be cleared to compete at Summerslam 2024, from his ongoing injury situation,
“Creative is proceeding under the assumption that Punk will be ready for action, with the anticipated clearance date set for the Monday beforehand, 7/29.”
Following the July 8 episode of Monday Night Raw, some speculated that Seth Rollins would be added to the Punk vs. McIntyre match at SummerSlam 2024 to make it a triple threat but given the intensity of the original feud, the three-way capacity wouldn’t make sense. Later Dave Meltzer confirmed the non-changeable lineup while speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio.
