SummerSlam 2024 is on the horizon, and the Cleveland Browns Stadium is embellished to host The Biggest Party of The Summer this year in Cleveland, Ohio. The card is stacked with seven spectacular matches from RAW and SmackDown, with rich storylines and intriguing rivalries that promise to deliver unforgettable action and drama.
Despite the stacked card, WWE notably excluded several tantalizing feuds simmering in the background. From Uncle Howdy's in-ring debut to a spectacular Triple Threat Title Match, there are several bouts the company must have added to the card for The Biggest Party of The Summer.
The list also includes a few dream matches that should have taken place at the summer's biggest extravaganza.
Let's look at five matches that should have happened at SummerSlam 2024:
#5. Tiffany Stratton vs. Trish Stratus
One of the matches that should have taken place at SummerSlam 2024 is Tiffany Stratton vs. Trish Stratus. A feud between the two was teased at Money in the Bank when both were involved in a backstage segment. With Stratton berating the legendary superstar, The Quintessential WWE Diva should have returned and challenged Ms. Money in the Bank to a match at The Biggest Party of The Summer.
However, WWE failed to capitalize on this opportunity despite leaving fans on the edge of their seats for a future showdown between the two. Stratus returning to action against The Buff Barbie at the summer's biggest extravaganza would have added grandeur to the show and worked as a "passing the torch" moment for the 25-year-old star.
#4. The Bloodline vs. #DIY
The Bloodline vs. #DIY should have taken place at SummerSlam 2024 instead of happening on the go-home edition of SmackDown. The fact that WWE had plans for a title change in this WWE Tag Team Championship match makes it worthy of getting the spotlight at the impending spectacle.
Besides, it would have helped Jacob Fatu and Tama Tonga to feature in their first-ever SummerSlam match. However, the Triple H-led regime seemingly failed to capitalize on The Bloodline's red-hot momentum by not putting them on the card for the impending PLE.
#3. Uncle Howdy vs. Chad Gable
Another match that deserved to be on the card for SummerSlam 2024 was Uncle Howdy vs. Chad Gable. This is undeniably one of the most captivating and enigmatic feuds on Monday Night RAW, which has been going on for months.
Even though it had all the reasons to be on the card for The Biggest Party of The Summer, the promotion did not pull the trigger. Besides, the much-awaited in-ring debut of the Wyatt Sicks is not happening on SummerSlam either, as WWE announced it for the upcoming episode of Monday Night RAW.
#2. Sami Zayn vs. Bron Breakker vs. Ilja Dragunov
One of the biggest championship matches that should have happened at SummerSlam 2024 is a Triple Threat Match for the IC Title between Sami Zayn, Bron Breakker, and Ilja Dragunov. All three superstars were intertwined in the same storyline on RAW, which could have led to a blockbuster showdown at the summer's biggest spectacle.
A multi-person match would have not only elevated the prestige of the Intercontinental Championship but would have also delivered jaw-dropping moments. However, WWE took a sharp turn by excluding Dragunov from the title picture on RAW, squashing the dream of a blockbuster Triple Threat Match at The Biggest Party of The Summer.
#1. Cody Rhodes vs. Randy Orton should have taken place at SummerSlam 2024
Cody Rhodes vs. Randy Orton is a dream match the WWE Universe has been clamoring for since The American Nightmare won the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship at WrestleMania XL. The highly anticipated showdown between the former Legacy members should have graced the main event of SummerSlam 2024, as several fans had been hoping to behold this clash at the spectacular event.
Moreover, both superstars have a rich history, which would have made it one of the most compelling feuds in WWE. With their deep-rooted connection and legacy, Orton vs. Rhodes would have been a match worthy of headlining The Biggest Party of The Summer this year.
