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.

Cena vs. Rhodes Headlines Night 2

Women‘s Divisions Bring the Fire

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.

Legends, Debuts & Grudge Matches

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.
