• Currently, no tag team title matches are scheduled for SummerSlam.

What he’s saying

“I would do anything in that stadium, I don’t care what it is. I just wanna do something in that stadium,” Gargano said. “Whether it’s defending the tag team titles or just popping out and waving to the crowd, I don’t care.”

Why it matters

Gargano’s comments highlight the emotional significance of hometown appearances for wrestlers, potentially influencing WWE’s booking decisions for SummerSlam.

The big picture

• SummerSlam 2024 currently has seven matches scheduled, six of which are for championships.
