For the first time, WWE will host a two-day premium live event that isn’t WrestleMania, as SummerSlam will take place at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, on Saturday, Aug. 2, and Sunday, Aug. 3.
Night 1 is headlined by Gunther defending the World Heavyweight Championship against CM Punk, who earned the right to challenge him by winning a Gauntlet match. It marks the Second City Saint’s second consecutive major event competing for a world title, after challenging for the Undisputed WWE Championship in June.
The Night 2 main event features John Cena and Cody Rhodes in a rematch for the Undisputed WWE Championship, this time in a Street Fight. It’s a different look from their singles bout at WrestleMania 41 and could mean fans are in for some shenanigans, since anything goes in this match type.
For those curious about how to watch SummerSlam, we have you covered.
