SummerSlam is considered one of WWE’s most popular special events right after WrestleMania. The making and breaking of Champions over the years has added to its grandeur. The 35th edition of the event will also see battles of the best Raw and Smackdown Superstars.
Starting off, the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns and ‘The Beast’ Brock Lesnar will face off once again in a Last Man Standing Match. After a thrilling match at WrestleMania 38, the ‘Head of the Table’ Roman Reigns walked away with the WWE Championship and WWE Universal Title. ‘The Beast’ will now look to avenge all his past defeats.
The event will also witness multiple Championship matches with SmackDown Women’s Champion Liv Morgan taking on the ‘Baddest Woman on the Planet’ Ronda Rousey and United States Champion ‘The All Mighty’ Bobby Lashley facing the youngest Mr. Money in the Bank Theory. While Raw Women’s Champion Bianca Belair will once again put her Raw Women’s Title on the line to face ‘Big Time Becks’ Becky Lynch, Undisputed Tag Team Champions The Usos will take on The Street Profits with special Guest referee Jeff Jarrett.
Apart from the Championship matches, the event will also witness iconic matches between Pat McAfee and Happy Corbin, plus Logan Paul and The Miz. The Mysterios will team up to bounce back at SummerSlam for retribution against The Judgment Day in a No Disqualification Tag Team showdown.
