It’s time for WWE SummerSlam. One of WWE’s traditional “Big Four” events, SummerSlam has been known over the years as an event where wrestling takes center stage, compared to the more “casual friendly” approach of WrestleMania. This year’s SummerSlam promises some of that same action with matches including Oba Femi meeting Brock Lesnar inside Hell in a Cell, CM Punk defending the Undisputed WWE Championship against Cody Rhodes and former Shield teammates Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns renewing their storied rivalry with the WWE World Heavyweight Championship on the line.

Plus, for the first time on the main roster, an interim title will be at stake. Five women will look to climb the ladder and retrieve the Interim WWE Women’s Championship when Charlotte Flair, Jade Cargill, Tiffany Stratton, Chelsea Green and Lash Legend battle it out. The winner will take on the injured champion, Rhea Ripley, at a later date.

Another high-interest match this weekend sees a new No. 1 contender for the men’s WWE Championship crowned as Sami Zayn takes on Finn Balor. And SmackDown general manager Nick Aldis makes his in-ring debut for WWE when he faces Gunther. It marks Aldis’ first match in over three years.
