SummerSlam returns to a two-night format for the first time in years, and Matt breaks down the loaded U.S. Bank Stadium card in Minneapolis.

The show dives into every marquee matchup: Roman Reigns defending the World Heavyweight Championship against Seth Rollins in a Shield-rivalry rematch, CM Punk putting the Undisputed WWE Championship on the line against Cody Rhodes, and Brock Lesnar squaring off with Oba Femi inside Hell in a Cell in what many believe could be Lesnar’s true retirement match.

Add in Gunther vs. a returning Nick Aldis, Dominik Mysterio vs. Danhausen, Chad Gable vs. Penta for the Intercontinental Championship, a stacked Bloodline six-man tag, and Liv Morgan defending the Women’s World Championship against IYO SKY, and this preview covers every angle heading into the “Biggest Party of the Summer.”
