WWE has officially pulled the curtain back on Saturday’s SummerSlam lineup, and Night One is loaded with title fights, blood feuds and one Hell in a Cell collision built to leave damage behind.
CM Punk will defend the Undisputed WWE Championship against Cody Rhodes in one of the night’s biggest matches. The respect between the former AEW stars has completely fallen apart in recent weeks, with the two trading personal shots and nearly coming to blows at a WWE live event.
Brock Lesnar and Oba Femi will also be locked inside Hell in a Cell. WWE is putting two of its biggest wrecking machines inside the same cage, and there is almost no chance that structure makes it through the night untouched.
Liv Morgan will defend the Women’s World Championship against IYO SKY, while Gunther faces Nick Aldis in Aldis’ first WWE match. Saturday will also feature two major six-person tag team matches involving The Usos, Jacob Fatu, LA Knight, Solo Sikoa, Fatal Influence, Nikki Bella, Brie Bella and Paige.
The confirmed Saturday lineup for WWE SummerSlam 2026 includes:
- CM Punk vs. Cody Rhodes — Undisputed WWE Championship
- Brock Lesnar vs. Oba Femi — Hell in a Cell
- Liv Morgan vs. IYO SKY — Women’s World Championship
- Gunther vs. Nick Aldis
- Jey Uso, Jimmy Uso and Jacob Fatu vs. Royce Keys, LA Knight and Solo Sikoa
- Fatal Influence vs. Nikki Bella, Brie Bella and Paige
Night One will take place Saturday, August 1, at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis. The show begins at 6 PM ET and will stream on ESPN in the United States and Netflix internationally in select markets.
WWE still has Sunday’s lineup to reveal, but Saturday already looks like it could carry the entire weekend on its own. Punk and Rhodes have the championship spotlight, Lesnar and Femi have the cage, and several major names will be fighting to steal the show before Night Two even begins.
