If you happened not to catch what occurred during the July 22, 2024 episode of WWE Monday Night RAW, two new matches have been scheduled for WWE SummerSlam 2024 — with an intriguing twist associated with one of them.
After defeating Ilja Dragunov, Bron Breakker has secured yet another opportunity at the Intercontinental Championship. He’s set to clash against Sami Zayn, the one who bested him just a month ago at WWE Money in the Bank 2024. Making a stirring statement this week, Breakker concluded the night by assaulting Zayn in the headline event, overpowering him with one of his notorious spears.
Additionally, a bout between CM Punk and Drew McIntyre has been slotted on the card, with a couple of alterations. In a unique mandate, Raw General Manager Adam Pearce has established a prohibition on any physical interaction before SummerSlam, promising suspension to anyone breaching this rule. Furthermore, Seth Rollins has been assigned the role of the special guest referee, and is expected to communicate his official guidelines to Punk and McIntyre on the next Monday’s Raw on SyFy.
While not a new addition, one significant update from this week’s Raw is that Dominik Mysterio now seems to have distanced himself from Liv Morgan, opting instead to support The Nightmare Rhea Ripley in the upcoming Women’s World Championship match.
This captivating array of events will culminate in an unforgettable night on Saturday, August 3, 2024, at the Cleveland Browns Stadium in Cleveland, Ohio.

TITLE DEFENSE FOR THE WWE CHAMPIONSHIP:
Cody Rhodes (c) takes on Solo Sikoa
