WWE SummerSlam 2024: How to Watch and What to Expect
It’s the biggest party of the summer — here’s what WWE fans need to know about SummerSlam 2024.
Traditionally, August signifies many things: humidity, the Summer Olympics, and family barbecues galore. But for the WWE Universe, for over 35 years, August has meant one thing: SummerSlam, one of the biggest nights on any wrestling fan’s calendar.
Here’s everything fans should know about the exciting WWE Premium Live Event.
What is SummerSlam 2024?
Nicknamed “The Biggest Party of the Summer,” SummerSlam 2024 is WWE’s latest can’t-miss spectacle. This year, Cody Rhodes will put the Undisputed WWE Championship on the line in a match that will undoubtedly be the most challenging title defense yet. The reigning King and Queen of the Ring — accolades that were earned just a few months ago at King and Queen of the Ring 2024 — will finally receive their designated championship opportunities in Cleveland, which means the WWE Universe will be treated to at least three high-profile title clashes!
In other words, SummerSlam has the potential to end up being one of the greatest sporting events in the city’s history. That’s how big the night will be. For any member of the WWE Universe packed inside Cleveland Browns Stadium that evening, being part of SummerSlam will feel like attending WrestleMania in August.
SummerSlam 2024 is expected to be the largest WWE event ever hosted in Ohio. In other words, the stakes will be sky-high.
Where and When is SummerSlam 2024?
This year’s event will take place at Cleveland Browns Stadium in Cleveland, Ohio, on Saturday, August 3. Yes, it’s another Saturday PLE — which means you won’t have a “WWE hangover” at work the next day! The last time Cleveland hosted an event as big as SummerSlam was Fastlane 2019, which saw The Shield in action against Baron Corbin, Drew McIntyre, and Bobby Lashley, so the WWE Universe can expect matches just as big (if not bigger) than before.
SummerSlam 2024 begins at 7 p.m. ET with a one-hour Kickoff Show immediately preceding the event.
How to Watch SummerSlam 2024
If you’re a WWE fan who has faithfully tuned into previous Premium Live Events, you know how easy it is to catch SummerSlam. For fans in the United States, It’s as easy as logging in to Peacock on August 3, securing the best spot on your couch, and enjoying the best wrestling action of the summer!
Be prepared for some of the wildest action of the year — after all, this is the same event that saw Brock Lesnar introduce a tractor into a match before!
What to Expect at SummerSlam 2024
Last year’s SummerSlam, which featured a main event of Roman Reigns and Jey Uso engaging in Tribal Combat for Reigns’ championship, was suitably epic at every turn — and this year’s iteration should be no different.
The WWE Universe should expect nothing less than WrestleMania-caliber matches and some of the hottest storylines in professional wrestling coming to an explosive head — and as usual, The Bloodline and the group’s never-ending pursuit of the Undisputed WWE Championship will be front and center.
But don’t take our word for it — 2023 was one of the best SummerSlams of all time, but some of the most memorable moments in WWE history have occurred at the annual event over the years. Expect to be thoroughly entertained — maybe even blown away — on Saturday, August 3. And as for the members of the WWE Universe who will be attending SummerSlam 2024, well, there’s only one thing left to say:
You will get your money’s worth and then some.
You can tune in to Peacock to watch SummerSlam 2024 on Saturday, August 3. In the meantime, catch up on all things WWE Universe on Peacock.
