WWE revealed the top stars being advertised for this year’s SummerSlam after releasing a brand-new promotional poster on April 30, 2026, giving fans a clear look at the names set to headline the massive summer event.

The new poster features several of WWE’s biggest names, led by Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns, who are prominently placed at the front of the artwork. Their positioning signals that both stars are expected to play major roles heading into the two-night premium live event.

Other top names included on the poster are CM Punk, Rhea Ripley, and Becky Lynch, all of whom remain key figures on WWE programming. The lineup features Trick Williams, Liv Morgan, Penta, and Oba Femi.

WWE released the promotional poster alongside an announcement that SummerSlam combo tickets are now on sale, officially beginning the push toward one of the company’s biggest shows of the year. SummerSlam 2026 is scheduled to take place across two nights on August 1 and August 2 at U.S. Bank Stadium.

SummerSlam posters have traditionally served as an early indicator of who WWE plans to spotlight in the months leading up to the event. While no matches have been announced yet, the stars featured in this promotional material usually reflect the talent expected to anchor the biggest storylines heading into August.
