Overview
- SummerSlam is set for Aug. 1–2 at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis with CM Punk vs. Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns vs. Seth Rollins booked as the Night 1 and Night 2 main events respectively.
- WWE confirmed ESPN’s streaming service will carry the show in the United States while Netflix will stream it in most international markets, which changes how fans access the two‑night premium live event.
- A five‑way ladder match to crown an interim WWE Women’s Champion — featuring Charlotte Flair, Jade Cargill, Tiffany Stratton, Chelsea Green and the winner of Giulia vs. Lash Legend — was added after Rhea Ripley’s reported torn meniscus.
- The July 31 SmackDown go‑home show in Green Bay will feature a final face‑to‑face between Punk and Rhodes plus qualifiers and title build‑ups, and a leaked social post on July 31 shows stage construction underway at U.S. Bank Stadium.
- Industry outlets report sources currently favor champions CM Punk and Roman Reigns to retain, a scenario that would shape WWE’s creative direction and future title matches after the PLE rather than signaling confirmed outcomes.
