WWE SummerSlam 2024 guide, match card, how to watch in Australia, Rhea Ripley vs Liv Morgan, CM Punk vs Drew McIntyre

Watch WWE SummerSlam from 9am AEST on Sunday August 4, live on Foxtel, Binge and Kayo!

At SummerSlam, Rhea Ripley looks to begin her own revenge tour against Women’s World Champion Liv Morgan.

After The Nightmare injured Morgan and put her out of action for nearly a year, Morgan came back in a big way in 2024, embarking on her “Liv Morgan Revenge Tour.”

Her first stop was injuring Ripley and forcing Mami to relinquish her Women’s World Title.

With Ripley out of the picture, Morgan defeated Becky Lynch to win the Women’s World Title before turning her attention to “Dirty” Dominik Mysterio and the rest of The Judgment Day.

Morgan’s influences allowed Finn Bálor and JD McDonagh to become World Tag Team Champions, and she slowly corrupted Mysterio by putting him in comprising positions and kissing him on several occasions.

On the July 8 episode of Raw, Mysterio and Morgan were once again seen in a compromising spot before both were shocked at the arrival of Ripley.

With The Nightmare back, her gaze is solely focused on regaining the title she never lost.

Can Ripley take back the Women’s World Title from Morgan? And how much a factor will “Dirty” Dom play in the match?

Meanwhile Solo Sikoa is out to return the Undisputed WWE Championship to The Bloodline when “The New Tribal Chief” challenges Cody Rhodes at SummerSlam.

When Roman Reigns took a leave after losing the Undisputed WWE Title to The American Nightmare at WrestleMania, Sikoa took the mantle of Tribal Chief and made significant changes to the deadly faction. After ruthlessly brutalising his brother Jimmy Uso and adding the destructive Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa – sons of the legendary Haku – Sikoa then secured a new enforcer in the form of the ultra-destructive Jacob Fatu.

Solo has made it clear that he is coming for the title, and when he pinned Rhodes in a Six-Man Tag Team Match at WWE Money in the Bank, that showdown seemed inevitable.

Rhodes agreed and proposed the matchup himself in a face-to-face with Solo.

All eyes are on whether Reigns makes his long-awaited return after the main event.

Plus at SummerSlam, CM Punk will finally go one-on-one with Drew McIntyre with Seth “Freakin” Rollins stepping in as Special Guest Referee.

When Punk returned to WWE, neither McIntyre nor Rollins were happy about it. And when Punk got injured in the 2024 Royal Rumble Match, McIntyre stated that he prayed for it to happen and mercilessly mocked The Second City Saint for being out of action. His actions, however, would have consequences.

At WrestleMania XL, Punk was at ringside as a guest commentator for McIntyre’s World Heavyweight Championship Match against Rollins. After Drew won the title, a post-match confrontation between him and Punk helped limit McIntyre’s reign to mere minutes as it directly paved the way for Damian Priest to cash in his Money in the Bank contract and defeat McIntyre to become the new World Heavyweight Champion.

Punk struck again when he cost McIntyre a title opportunity the following Monday night in a No. 1 Contender’s Match on Raw and also interfered in McIntyre’s World Heavyweight Title Match against Priest at WWE Clash at the Castle.

An irate McIntyre fired back by pretending to quit WWE, then unleashing a brutal beatdown of Punk on SmackDown, stealing a bracelet that represented Punk’s love for his wife and dog in the process.

McIntyre won the Money in the Bank Ladder Match and inserted himself into the World Heavyweight Title Match between Priest and Rollins on the same night, only to have Punk cost him the match one more time. Rollins was furious with Punk in the aftermath, believing that Punk’s animosity toward McIntyre cost him a chance to win the championship.

With Punk finally medically cleared, who will emerge victorious in the highly anticipated match between The Second City Saint and The Scottish Warrior, with The Visionary stepping in as Special Guest Referee?
