WWE: Is It Too Early To Think About Summerslam, We Don’t Think So.
Wagering is Currently Available on Four Matches With More to Come
Let’s get into our 2024 Summerslam preview.
We are about three weeks away from the 37th annual Summerslam promotion with this year’s event emanating from Cleveland Browns Stadium in Cleveland, Ohio. It will be the first Summerslam in Cleveland since 1996 when Shawn Michaels defended his WWF Championship against Vadar at Gund Arena.
SummerSlam has always been considered the biggest event next to Wrestlemania. “The Biggest Party of the Summer” will be streamed on Peacock, before moving to Netflix in January.
Nia Jax vs. Bayley The Best Match On The Card So Far
WWE betting is sometimes nothing more than something to look at because rarely do we have massive underdogs that will cash a plus money ticket and we don’t want anything to do with laying -500. However, we finally have a match that is worth getting involved with when Nia Jax (-115) takes on Bayley (-125).
We are in the early stages of story development, but last week on Smackdown, they matched Bayley against Piper Niven when Jax attacked Bayley, setting up this feud.. Had it not been for Michin coming to the champions’ aid, The Role Model would have taken a bigger beating.
This may have been yet another attempt to get Michin to hook on to a storyline but it does feel like another missed attempt at making her a relevant addition to the roster. Perhaps this will result in a feud with Niven but it wasn’t the Queen of the Ring and Bayley needed to sell their match.
The WWE likes to keep the belt on their champion so don’t expect Jax to win but always be aware that this may be the perfect time for Tiffy Time.

The Blood Line Story Continues to Draw Interest
Roman Reigns will face Solo Sikoa with nothing on the line except family respect, which seems like what the Bloodline story has been about. This week on Smackdown, Sikoa declared himself the official tribal chief as Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa, and Jacob Fatu flanked him. They placed the Ula Fala around his neck, making it official.
Of course, Toman Reigns is dealing with the loss of his Father Sika Anoa’i, making it a mystery how they will build the storyline without Reigns on television. We don’t think there’s any scenario where the WWE would have Reigns (-500) lose.
What’s Next For Gunther?
The 2024 WWE Summerslam promotion features two performers that the WWE loves. Both wrestlers have been tremendous assets to the company and have said as much through various WWE news sites.
After losing the Intercontinental Championship to Sami Zayn after a run of 66 days, the question now is what’s his next step after taking some much-needed time off.
Gunther won the King of the King Tournament for the right to face Damien Priest for the World Heavyweight Championship. While we think Priest is a terrific performer, we’re not sure he has the ‘it’ factor that the WWE likes their champions to have which is why Gunther is a -600 favorite to become champion.
We’ll see more from the competitors when the two will come face-to-face next week on RAW. With Judgement Day becoming whole again after Rhea Ripley’s return, it seems better that Priest goes back into a story like with them, perhaps around Seth Rollins. Gunther is our early Summerslam result prediction. That does it for our 2024 early Summerslam preview. All the best with your wagers until then.
