Tonight, WWE ignites MetLife Stadium with SummerSlam Night 1—the opening chapter of a two-night spectacular bursting with star power, championship stakes, and a generational power struggle that threatens to reshape the company’s hierarchy. In the main event, CM Punk steps into the biggest fight of his return run, challenging the seemingly unstoppable World Heavyweight Champion Gunther, a match fueled by respect, pride, and Punk’s refusal to fade quietly into the background of a changing era. Tiffany Stratton, draped in confidence and gold, defends the WWE Women’s Championship against Jade Cargill, the breakout powerhouse whose rise has disrupted the status quo of SmackDown women’s division. The Women’s World Championship is also on the line in a high-octane Triple Threat, as Naomi, flanked by the momentum of her shocking Money in the Bank cash-in, defends against the brutal Rhea Ripley and the cunning high-flyer Iyo Sky in a clash of styles and personas. Elsewhere, country music megastar Jelly Roll laces up his boots for the first time, teaming with Randy Orton to take on the arrogant alliance of Logan Paul and Drew McIntyre, in a match born from viral chaos and backstage brawls. In a pivotal tag team collision, Roman Reigns and Jey Uso reunite—not to restore the Bloodline, but to protect their pride and position—as they battle Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed, the devastating duo backed by Paul Heyman, who has traded legacy for raw potential in his vision of WWE’s future. And in a high-stakes, stipulation-driven grudge match, Sami Zayn faces off against the methodical menace Karrion Kross, where ego, belief, and truth are on the line in a psychological war. With six marquee matches and no room for filler, SummerSlam Night 1 promises fireworks, fallout, and foundational shifts, setting the tone for what may be the most consequential weekend of WWE’s modern era.
