Get ready, wrestling fans, for the summer's biggest spectacle! WWE SummerSlam is back, and this year, it is grander than ever before. For the very first time, this cornerstone event is expanding its affair, promising an even greater dosage of heart-pounding action, unexpected turns, and championship glory. Since its inception in 1988, SummerSlam has consistently delivered iconic moments, from technical wrestling clinics to legendary ladder matches, solidifying its place among premium live events.

With the stakes higher than ever and the world watching on a groundbreaking platform, the stage is set for an epic showcase of athleticism as long-awaited battles and title defenses take center stage.

According to Tudum, this year’s SummerSlam features several highly anticipated matchups. In what is billed as his final SummerSlam, WWE legend John Cena will face Cody Rhodes in a Street Fight for the WWE Undisputed Championship, where Rhodes seeks recovery after his prior loss to Cena. Rhodes earned the title shot by defeating Randy Orton in the 2025 King of the Ring Tournament, adding immense weight to this confrontation.

Beyond this marquee event, CM Punk, having succeeded in a Number 1 Contender Gauntlet Match, is set to challenge Gunther for the World Heavyweight Championship. The WWE Women’s Championship will also be on the line as Tiffany Stratton defends against the formidable Jade Cargill, the reigning Queen of the Ring. Additionally, Naomi, the new WWE Women’s World Champion, will face both IYO SKY and Rhea Ripley in a thrilling Triple Threat Match.
