Summary WWE SummerSlam Night 2 promises high-stakes action, building on a memorable Night 1 that featured Randy Orton's return and Brock Lesnar passing the torch to Oba Femi in Hell in a Cell. Tonight's card boasts six stipulation matches, including four title bouts and a No. 1 Contender match for CM Punk's championship. Chad Gable is a strong favorite to capture the Intercontinental Title in his hometown of Minneapolis, setting up a potentially emotional victory. Sami Zayn battles Finn Balor, with speculation of a Kevin Owens return to aid Zayn, possibly leading to a CM Punk rematch. Other highlights include a Women's Interim Title Ladder Match and Roman Reigns defending the WWE World Title against Seth Rollins. Catch the event live from US Bank Stadium on ESPN Unlimited.
WWE SummerSlam Night 2 advertises six stipulation matches with four titles on the line, one match to determine a No. 1 Contender for a world champion and one match for Human Monies. WWE SummerSlam Night 1 delivered a near-perfect showcase highlighted by the return of Randy Orton and a show filled with memorable matches.
SummerSlam Saturday was book-ended by two great matches, first with an instantly classic opening match between Iyo Sky and Liv Morgan, then by an insane main event where Brock Lesnar exposed the wood underneath the wind inside Hell in a Cell. Lesnar ultimately lost in his hometown of Minnesota to Oba Femi and passed the torch to his successor once again.
WWE SummerSlam Night 2 will have its work cut out of it, but with both a ladder match and a Human Monies on a Pole Match, there is potential for some high-risk spots. Chad Gable is heavily favored to win his first Intercontinental Championship inside his hometown of Minneapolis, which is almost certain to generate an emotional response. Baron Corbin makes his return to WWE PLEs in a United States Championship against Trick Williams that could lowkey steal the show.
Sami Zayn vs. Finn Balor will determine the next No. 1 Contender to face CM Punk, but after the return of Randy Orton on Night 1, the rumored return of Kevin Owens returning to help Sami Zayn could add juice to a potential CM Punk rematch.
