Overview
- Night 1 begins Saturday, Aug. 1 at 6 p.m. ET with Undisputed WWE Champion CM Punk defending the title against Cody Rhodes as the scheduled headliner.
- Night 2 closes Sunday with World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns vs. Seth Rollins and a five‑way ladder match to crown an interim WWE Women’s Champion after Rhea Ripley suffered a reported knee injury.
- A Hell in a Cell trilogy match between Brock Lesnar and Oba Femi is set for Night 1, and several outlets have predicted Femi could win to be elevated into a top role but those outcomes remain unconfirmed.
- Night 1 will also include Gunther vs. Nick Aldis, marking Aldis’s confirmed in‑ring WWE debut, plus two six‑person tag matches and Liv Morgan defending the Women’s World title against IYO SKY.
- Both nights stream in the U.S. on ESPN’s paid service and internationally on Netflix, the card contains 12 matches (six per night), and WWE’s creative choices this weekend are widely read as a test of whether the company can reset momentum for the rest of 2026.
