SummerSlam 2024 LIVE results: Roman Reigns returns as Cody Rhodes retains WWE title

Re-live the action as CM Punk fought Drew McIntyre, while Logan Paul, Cody Rhodes and Rhea Ripley were among the stars to compete

WWE's Triple H describes London as 'home away from home' amid WrestleMania discussion

It was a night of betrayal, shocks and surprises as WWE SummerSlam unfolded in front of 57,000 fans in Cleveland on Saturday.

All eyes were on CM Punk as he wrestled his first televised singles match in over a decade, going toe-to-toe with British star Drew McIntyre to conclude one of the hottest feuds of the year.

But it was “Dirty” Dominik Mysterio who set the tone for the evening long before those two stepped into the ring, turning on Rhea Ripley and The Judgement Day after the Women’s World Championship match opened the show.

The Judgement Day imploded further as the penultimate match of the night concluded, with Finn Balor betraying Damian Priest.

However, the biggest shock of the night came in the main event, which saw Cody Rhodes face Solo Sikoa for the Undisputed Universal Championship - amid rumours of a Roman Reigns return.

After a gruelling battle, “The American Nightmare” secured the three count to defend his title, as the “Tribal Chief” made his first appearance since WrestleMania, returning to attack his own Bloodline.

WWE SummerSlam LIVE: Liv Morgan vs Rhea Ripley (Women’s World Title)

Between this feud, and the Punk vs McIntyre match later on, this whole show is a real masterclass in the wrestling pivot.

Both storylines were derailed by injury earlier in the year, and both ended up being some of the hottest feuds heading into SummerSlam thanks to some clever adaptive storytelling.

It’s been a real high point of the Triple H era - we saw the same thing happen in the lead up to WrestleMania, when the plans for the main event were changed to accommodate fan reaction to the planned Rock vs Roman Reigns match.

We didn’t see this nearly as much under the previous administration, and it’s been a refreshing change of pace for the company.

After she popped her shoulder back in, commentator Michael Cole described the action as “the most disgusting thing I’ve ever seen”.

Back in the ring, Morgan counters Ripley’s “Riptide” finisher for a two-count.
