Overview
- WWE published the full 12‑match SummerSlam lineup for U.S. Bank Stadium, with both nights starting at 6 p.m. ET on Saturday, Aug. 1 and Sunday, Aug. 2 and streaming on ESPN Unlimited in the U.S. and Netflix internationally.
- The advertised main events are CM Punk vs. Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship on Night 1 and Roman Reigns vs. Seth Rollins closing Night 2, while Oba Femi faces Brock Lesnar in a Hell in a Cell match on Night 1.
- An interim WWE Women’s Championship ladder match was added to Night 2 after champion Rhea Ripley suffered a reported injury, with Charlotte Flair, Jade Cargill, Tiffany Stratton, Chelsea Green and a mystery entrant scheduled to compete.
- WWE posted a slate of post‑SummerSlam dates for Reigns, including the Oct. 10 Money in the Bank event, and fans and analysts have widely interpreted those advertised appearances as a signal Reigns is likely to retain the title.
- Beyond the top matches, the card is built to elevate younger talent—Oba Femi, Chad Gable and IYO SKY are positioned for momentum—and insiders say creative leaders including Triple H have been making last‑minute changes to shape outcomes and future storylines.
