WWE SummerSlam 2022 promises to be one of the most exciting premium live events of the year, and we have all you need to know ahead of the action getting underway, including the UK start time.
SummerSlam is one of WWE’s flagship stadium shows, with huge matches guaranteed every year.
In 2022, it will be no different. Undisputed WWE Universal Champion, Roman Reigns, takes on Brock Lesnar in a Last Man Standing match, which will be full of brutality.
Reigns has now been Universal Champion for an incredible 693+ days. His reign has already seen two successful defences against Lesnar, with their SummerSlam bout billed as the last time they will ever face each other in WWE.
More unpredictability can be found in the form of Mr. Money in the Bank, Theory. He attempts to regain his United States Champion from Bobby Lashley at SummerSlam. However, he has also threatened to get involved in Reigns v Lesnar, and cash in his MITB briefcase.
Elsewhere on the card, Bianca Belair defends her Raw Women’s Championship against Becky Lynch, in another rematch from WrestleMania 38. At last year’s event, Lynch made her triumphant return from a 16-month pregnancy hiatus. She defeated Belair in 28 seconds to claim the title, before dropping it to ‘The EST’ at WrestleMania.
Liv Morgan defends her SmackDown Women’s Championship for the first time against Ronda Rousey, whilst YouTube star Logan Paul takes on The Miz.
It is also the first premium live event with Triple H as head of creative, following Vince McMahon‘s resignation. Fans are excited to see what ‘The Game’ has in store for the show.
