WWE’s iconic SummerSlam event is going big this year — two nights, over 12 matches and a lineup that promises action, drama and a few wild surprises. The blockbuster event is set to take place on Saturday, August 2 and Sunday, August 3 in New Jersey, with both nights streaming live on Peacock at 7 pm ET.
A major highlight is the WWE Championship rematch between John Cena and Cody Rhodes. Cena won the title at WrestleMania 41, but Rhodes earned another shot by winning the King of the Ring tournament. During their fiery contract signing, Rhodes got Cena to agree to a street fight.
On Night 1, Gunther will try to defend the World Heavyweight Championship against CM Punk, who earned the spot after a brutal gauntlet match on Raw. With Seth Rollins out due to injury, Punk is counting on this opportunity as his best shot at gold since returning in 2023.
In the WWE Women‘s Championship bout, Tiffany Stratton will face powerhouse Jade Cargill, who earned her title shot after defeating Asuka. On the second night, Naomi is scheduled to defend the Women‘s World Championship in a triple threat against Iyo Sky and Rhea Ripley, after cashing in her Money in the Bank briefcase at Evolution.
Randy Orton is reportedly teaming up with country singer Jelly Roll in his in-ring debut against Drew McIntyre and Logan Paul. The unlikely feud began when Paul interrupted Jelly Roll’s performance and attacked Orton.
Meanwhile, Roman Reigns is returning to team with Jey Uso against Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed and Sami Zayn is finally getting his shot at revenge against Karrion Kross.
