For the first time, the “Biggest Party of the Summer” will take place over two nights. WWE’s SummerSlam has often been referred to as the WrestleMania for the die-hards, so it’s only appropriate that the annual summer spectacle expands to two nights as well.
This year’s edition will emanate from MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, NJ on Saturday, August 2nd and Sunday, August 3rd, starting at 7 p.m. ET each night. You can catch it LIVE on Peacock.
Headlining this year’s star-studded edition is a WrestleMania rematch between Undisputed WWE Champion John Cena and “The American Nightmare” Cody Rhodes. This time, the two rivals will square off in a street fight.

John Cena SummerSlam match history
John Cena is retiring from WWE in-ring competition at the end of the year, so this will be his final SummerSlam appearance. He’s set to compete in the most highly-anticipated match on the card, as he’ll defend the undisputed WWE championship against “The American Nightmare” Cody Rhodes on Night Two.
This will be Cena’s 16th SummerSlam appearance. His first came in 2004, when he won the United States championship from WWE Hall of Famer Booker T. Oddly enough, SummerSlam hasn’t exactly been kind to Cena over the years, as he’s sitting on five wins and 10 losses at the event.
WWE Network, including WWE Evolution and all Premium Live Events, is available in the United States exclusively on Peacock Premium for $7.99/month. Details available at PeacockTV.com.
