As the WWE gears up for a series of premium live events, fans are eagerly anticipating the upcoming SummerSlam 2024, set to take place on Saturday, August 3rd, at the Cleveland Browns Stadium in Cleveland, Ohio. With tens of thousands of fans expected to attend, the event promises to be an unforgettable experience. As the company’s star-studded roster prepares to take the stage, five wrestlers stand out as absolute must-haves for the biggest wrestling show of the summer.
First up is LA Knight, one of the biggest stars in pro wrestling today. Having recently entered the 2024 WWE King of The Ring Tournament, Knight is poised for a significant push in the coming weeks. After a disappointing role at last year’s SummerSlam, Knight deserves a better spot this year, and possibly even a title opportunity.
IYO SKY, widely regarded as one of the best wrestlers in WWE today, is another crucial inclusion for SummerSlam. With a storied history at the event, including a debut at SummerSlam 2022 and a Women’s Championship win at the 2023 event, SKY’s absence would be felt. Her current participation in the Queen of The Ring Tournament and impressive recent win over Natalya on Monday Night RAW further solidify her case for a prominent spot at SummerSlam.
Meanwhile, DIY, the tag team duo of Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa, has an essential hometown presence to bring to the event. As Ohio natives, their inclusion would guarantee a warm reception from the crowd, and a potential title shot against A-Town Down Under could make for an unforgettable match.
Gunther, the dominant performer with an impressive track record, is long overdue for a significant singles match at a major premium live event. With only six singles matches on his WWE main roster record, SummerSlam 2024 presents the perfect opportunity to rectify this imbalance and further cement his legacy.
Lastly, the returning Rhea Ripley, a fan favorite with a storied past at SummerSlam, would be a welcome addition to the event. Her intense rivalry with Charlotte Flair and subsequent feuds have made her a staple of high-stakes matches, and her presence at SummerSlam would undoubtedly boost the event.
As the WWE continues to build towards SummerSlam 2024, these five stars are absolute must-haves for the event. With their combined talent, charisma, and crowd appeal, their inclusion would guarantee an unforgettable night of wrestling action.
