The highly anticipated showdown between CM Punk and Drew McIntyre has been building up for months , with Seth Rollins also playing a crucial role in their rivalry .

With McIntyre inserting himself into the title match between Priest and Rollins , only to be thwarted by Punk once again , tensions are running high . Rollins blames Punk for costing him a shot at the championship , setting the stage for an explosive showdown at SummerSlam where Punk is finally medically cleared to compete.
The SummerSlam 2024 match card is packed with exciting matchups , including Cody Rhodes vs. Solo Sikoa for the WWE Undisputed Championship , Logan Paul vs. LA Knight for the WWE United States Championship , and Bayley vs. Nia Jax for the WWE Women 's Championship.
Liv Morgan will also take on Rhea Ripley for the Women 's World Championship , while Gunther is set to face Damian Priest for the World Heavyweight Championship . The event will feature a mix of established stars and rising talent , promising a night of thrilling action for fans in attendance and watching live on Peacock.
As fans gear up for the event , rumors are swirling about a potential Intercontinental Championship match between Bron Breakker and Sami Zayn . All eyes are on the upcoming episode of WWE Monday Night RAW , where the final matches for SummerSlam 2024 are expected to be confirmed , including the highly anticipated clash between CM Punk and Drew McIntyre . If Punk is cleared to compete , fans can expect a showdown for the ages at the biggest party of the summer.
