WWE SummerSlam 2024 LIVE results: CM Punk loses on return as Cody Rhodes set to defend title

The Judgement Day walked into SummerSlam looking rock solid, but they’ve left in tatters. Where do we go from here?!

WOW! The Judgement Day has imploded! After fighting out of one hold, Priest begins to fade and is caught by a second sleeper. This time, Gunther locks it in after delivering a powerbomb – and that’s enough to end the match!

Gunther is the new World Heavyweight Champion, but Priest has been screwed by his own stablemate!

MORE JUDGEMENT DAY CARNAGE! As Priest mounts a comeback to pin Gunther, Balor grabs the Austrian’s foot and rests it on the rope, breaking the referee’s count!

Unsure of what happened at first, Priest has just watched the replay on the big screen with everyone else, and now realises what has unfolded!

Taking advantage, Gunther locks in a submission hold, but the champion battles out! The crowd are absolutely loving this!

Gunther is dripping in blood now! The commentary team has described this as an uncomfortable watch, but this is probably the way the challenger likes it. Even Finn Balor at ringside can’t stop him from laying into the champion now!

We have our first blood! And in a shocking turn of events, it came from a chop delivered from Priest to Gunther instead of the other way around. My entire world is being turned upside down.

In a shocking turn of events, it’s Gunther who has been on the receiving end of some NASTY shots! His chest is already looking very raw… the blood is flowing! Priest is doing well so far, proving why he is a deserving champion!

Gunther has the most perfect gimmick in the history of this business: he’s a wrestler who hasn’t been told that wrestling is supposed to be fake. Bad news for Damian Priest, good news for fans of gratuitous chest carnage!

It’s time for the penultimate match of the night, as Damian Priest defends his World Heavyweight title against Gunther. The Judgement Day has already been rocked by “Dirty” Dom’s betrayal of Ripley earlier tonight, will that play some part in the outcome of this match?

Any slip up from Priest will be punished by Gunther, who has a chance to win one of the biggest prizes in WWE tonight. If he does, it will surely be a long, long time before anyone can de-throne him! The two men are in the ring and we’re ready to go!

It feels like we’re flying through this card! Just a reminder that LA Knight won the United States Championship earlier tonight, and fans are going wild for his long overdue “Triple H point” photo!

There are so many potential matches that could come out of this.

Seth vs Punk, a Triple Threat between all three, Hell in a Cell. Just keep it going, I can watch these guys go back and forth forever.

CM Punk keeps talking about how much he’s grown, and I think agreeing to lose his first televised singles match in over a decade is the clearest evidence of that we’ve had so far.

Really great work from all involved here, and a great way to set up a rematch down the road.
