One of the year's biggest WWE events is going down in Minneapolis this weekend with WWE SummerSlam 2026 taking over US Bank Stadium on Saturday and Sunday.
As always, this year's SummerSlam promises some massive events. At the top of Saturday's card is a battle between Undisputed WWE Champion CM Punk and challenger Cody Rhodes . Perhaps equally exciting is a Hell in a Cell cage fight between King of the Ring winner Oba Femi and Brock Lesnar, who remains undefeated in Hell in a Cell matches.
Sunday will see more big matches, including Chad Gable vs. Intercontinental Champion Penta and — biggest of them all — Seth Rollins vs. Roman Reigns for the latter's World Heavyweight Championship.
