WWE SummerSlam 2024 LIVE results: Roman Reigns returns as Cody Rhodes retains WWE title

And that’s it for SummerSlam! The show goes off the air as Rhodes celebrates his title win, but Reigns has cast a massive shadow over WWE, drawing suggestions of a Bloodline civil war!

Great show all around. It feels like every second PPV of the Triple H era automatically becomes a contender for my favorite show of the year, and this is no exception.

What really worked about this SummerSlam in comparison to last year is that there was real movement in the title scene – something that we haven’t had much of lately.

I’m really excited to see how this new status quo manifests in next Monday’s Raw and beyond.

What an ending! Reigns handed Rhodes the victory after taking out Sikoa. But the “Real Tribal Chief” hasn’t taken his eyes of Rhodes since the bell confirmed his victory.

Reigns goes after his own Bloodline! A Superman Punch flattens Sikoa, before a Spear puts him on his back! But Reigns leaves Rhodes untouched, and the champion takes full advantage, hitting one more Cross Rhodes to win!

AND HERE HE IS! THE HEAD OF THE TABLE IS BACK! Roman Reigns’ music hits after yet another near fall!

Now Jacob Fatu is here! It’s absolute carnage in the ring! After flattening Rhodes, he drags Sikoa onto the champion for the cover… but Cody still kicks out! He’s showing so much heart, but I’m not sure how much more he can take.

A helpless Rhodes is placed on the announce table, before Fatu climbs to the top rope and dives off, sending the champion through the table!

Here come the first surprises of the night! Kevin Owens and Randy Orton come from outta nowhere to even the odds! The pair have come to Cody’s rescue, taking the Bloodline out of the equation. Stunners and RKOs everywhere!

Sikoa looks fantastic out there, he is dominating right now. So much so, that the crowd appear almost silent.

But Rhodes is still looking to build some momentum and swing this one back in his favour. He gets the crowd back into it by hitting a Cross Rhodes on the counter… but here come the Bloodline!

Boos erupt inside the stadium as the WWE Tag Team Champions, Tonga Loa and Tama Tonga, attack Rhodes. It’s all completely legal under Bloodline rules!

Sikoa has Rhodes in big trouble right now. He goes close with a couple of two-counts, the first coming after slamming the champion into the ground with a huge chokeslam.

Cody is showing plenty of guts, as he always does, and the longer this goes on the more frustrated Solo will get.

Solo has done such a good job of keeping this Bloodline story moving since Roman took a much-deserved leave of absence, but tonight does feel like the time to kick things up a gear.

Place your bets now – do we see a Roman Reigns return? The Rock? Or will it be something really left field?

Recent reports have suggested that WWE is open to bringing Brock Lesnar into the fold, and – here’s a really out there idea – Matt and Jeff Hardy have expressed interest in one more run with the company.

Or maybe this is where we finally see some AEW involvement? Ricky Starks, perhaps? A man can dream.
