WWE SummerSlam 2026 Results: Every Match From Both Nights in Minneapolis
SummerSlam 2026: The Basics
WWE SummerSlam 2026 is a two-night premium live event held at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, Minnesota — the building's second time hosting the show, following a 1999 edition. Night 1 took place Saturday, August 1, and Night 2 follows on Sunday, August 2, with both nights airing at 6 p.m. ET on the ESPN App in the U.S. and on Netflix internationally.
Twelve matches are spread across the two nights, several with major championship gold on the line, plus the long-teased continuation of the Roman Reigns–Seth Rollins rivalry headlining the second night.
WWE SummerSlam 2026 Results — Night 1 (Saturday, August 1)
Night 1 delivered on its billing as one of the most stacked opening nights in recent SummerSlam history. Here's how every match finished:
| Match | Stipulation | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Liv Morgan (c) vs. IYO SKY | Women's World Championship | Liv Morgan wins and retains the title |
| LA Knight, Solo Sikoa & Royce Keys vs. The Bloodline (Jacob Fatu, Jey Uso & Jimmy Uso) | Six-Man Tag Team Match | LA Knight's team wins |
| CM Punk (c) vs. Cody Rhodes | Undisputed WWE Championship | CM Punk wins and retains the title |

| Fatal Influence (Jacy Jayne, Lainey Reid & Fallon Henley) vs. The Bella Twins & Paige | Six-Woman Tag Team Match | Fatal Influence wins |
| Oba Femi vs. Brock Lesnar | Hell in a Cell Match | Oba Femi wins by pinfall |
The night's biggest story: Oba Femi over Brock Lesnar
The main event closed the show as a passing-of-the-torch moment, with Oba Femi defeating Brock Lesnar inside Hell in a Cell in the deciding match of their rubber-match trilogy. It capped a night widely described as one of the stronger opening nights SummerSlam has produced in years, with the women's title opener between Liv Morgan and IYO SKY also drawing praise as one of the best women's matches WWE has put on this year.
Other Night 1 storylines worth knowing
- CM Punk retained the Undisputed WWE Championship against Cody Rhodes in the co-main event, keeping his reign intact heading into the fall.
- Nick Aldis, SmackDown's General Manager, made his in-ring WWE debut against Gunther and was well-received despite the loss.
- The Bella Twins and Paige came up short against Fatal Influence, with Brie Bella reportedly taking a hard bump during the match that left her banged up.
WWE SummerSlam 2026 Match Card — Night 2 (Sunday, August 2)
Night 2 is the heavier championship night of the two, carrying three title matches (plus an interim title match) across six total bouts. As of this writing, Night 2 is either underway or about to begin, so treat the matches below as the confirmed card rather than final results — check back for the finishes once each match wraps.
- World Heavyweight Championship: Roman Reigns (c) vs. Seth Rollins
- Interim WWE Women's Championship – Five-Way Ladder Match: Charlotte Flair vs. Jade Cargill vs. Tiffany Stratton vs. Chelsea Green vs. Lash Legend (winner faces injured champion Rhea Ripley)
- Undisputed WWE Championship No. 1 Contender's Match: Finn Bálor vs. Sami Zayn
- WWE Intercontinental Championship: Penta (c) vs. Chad Gable
- WWE United States Championship: Trick Williams (c) vs. Baron Corbin
- Novelty Match: Danhausen vs. Dominik Mysterio
What to watch for on Night 2
The Reigns–Rollins main event is the first one-on-one meeting between the two since their WrestleMania 41 triple-threat with CM Punk, and it comes with Reigns chasing a sixth straight SummerSlam win. The five-way ladder match is also notable since Rhea Ripley, the reigning WWE Women's Champion, is sidelined with an injury — meaning the winner earns a future shot at her title rather than walking away champion on the night.
