SummerSlam (2024)

The 2024 SummerSlam, also promoted as SummerSlam: Cleveland, was a professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) and livestreaming event produced by WWE. It was the 37th annual SummerSlam and took place on August 3, 2024, at Cleveland Browns Stadium in Cleveland, Ohio, held for wrestlers from the promotion's Raw and SmackDown brand divisions. This was the second SummerSlam event held in Cleveland, after the 1996 event, which was held at the Gund Arena. WWE wrestler and Cleveland area native The Miz served as the host of the event. This was the first SummerSlam held after WWE merged with the Endeavor subsidiary Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) in September 2023, under the banner of TKO Group Holdings. It was the final SummerSlam to livestream on the standalone WWE Network in most territories, which closed in most markets where the service was still available in January 2025, with WWE content moving to Netflix; a select few territories still maintained the standalone WWE Network until early 2026 when they also merged under Netflix. The 2024 event also marks the final SummerSlam to be held as a one-night event as the following year was expanded to two nights, adopting the format used by WrestleMania since WrestleMania 36. Seven matches were contested at the event. In the main event, which was the main match from SmackDown, Cody Rhodes defeated Solo Sikoa in a Bloodline Rules match to retain the Undisputed WWE Championship. In the penultimate match, which was Raw's main match, Gunther defeated Damian Priest to win the World Heavyweight Championship. The event marked the return of Roman Reigns since going on hiatus following WrestleMania XL in April.
