The official WWE SummerSlam 2026 Saturday & Sunday match line-ups have been officially confirmed ahead of this weekend’s premium live event.
For the second year running, WWE SummerSlam will take place across two nights on Saturday, August 1 and Sunday August 2, with the U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, Minnesota hosting.
Much like WrestleMania each year, there has been a great deal of anticipation for what combination of matches will take place on each respective night of SummerSlam, and now we have confirmation of what to expect on Saturday and Sunday in Minneapolis.
As confirmed in a pair of announcements on Twitter, WWE has confirmed that the following matches will take place on SummerSlam Saturday:
CM Punk vs Cody Rhodes – Undisputed WWE Championship
Oba Femi vs Brock Lesnar – Hell in a Cell
Liv Morgan vs IYO SKY – Women’s World Championship
GUNTHER vs Nick Aldis
Jimmy Uso, Jey Uso & Jacob Fatu vs Royce Keys, LA Knight & Solo Sikoa
Jacy Jayne, Lainey Reid & Fallon Henley vs Nikki Bella, Brie Bella & Paige
Whereas the official line-up for SummerSlam Sunday is as follows:
Roman Reigns vs. Seth Rollins – World Heavyweight Championship
Charlotte Flair, Jade Cargill, Tiffany Stratton, Chelsea Green & TBA – Interim WWE Women’s Championship Ladder Match
Finn Balor vs Sami Zayn – Undisputed WWE #1 Contender’s Match
Danhausen vs Dominik Mysterio
Trick Williams vs Baron Corbin – US Championship
Penta vs Chad Gable – Intercontinental Championship
It was not confirmed which matches will be headlining each show, but all signs seemingly point towards CM Punk vs. Cody Rhodes headlining SummerSlam Saturday and Roman Reigns vs. Seth Rollins closing the show on Sunday.
The release of these graphics seems to also suggest that no further additions to the SummerSlam card will be announced, but we will provide updates if anything changes in that regard.
Brock Lesnar vs. Oba Femi Deserving Of A Main Event Spot?
While it’s certainly not the most layered of storylines, the rivalry between Brock Lesnar and Oba Femi has arguably been WWE’s most exciting of the year, with every interaction between ‘The Beast’ and ‘The Ruler’ making for can’t miss television.
With SummerSlam seeing the likely end of their rivalry, and the return of Hell in a Cell for the first time in almost two years, it is a surprise that WWE may not give the bout one of the two main event spots across the weekend.
Despite having almost 15 years of history to it, Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins is not the hottest feud heading into SummerSlam, and has arguably already been toppled by CM Punk and Cody Rhodes’ story over on SmackDown.
Roman Reigns is of course WWE’s franchise player however, and it is no surprise to see him get top billing. However, the company may need to pull out the stops to make that match feel as special as Lesnar vs. Femi will the night before at SummerSlam Saturday.
