Matches and How to Watch the WWE Event

Cody Rhodes is set to defend the Undisputed WWE Championship at WWE’s hottest event of the summer.

He will headline SummerSlam on Aug. 3 in a match against Solo Sikoa. Sikoa is the cousin of Roman Reigns, the former leader of the villainous “Bloodline” faction whom Rhodes defeated at WrestleMania 40 in April to capture his championship. Reigns has been absent from WWE TV since, so Sikoa has anointed himself the new “Tribal Chief” and has rebooted “The Bloodline” with three new members.

Sikoa established himself as a contender for the title after pinning Rhodes in a six-man tag team match at the Money in the Bank event July 6.

There are several other championship matches on the card for SummerSlam, including Women’s World Champion Liv Morgan facing Rhea Ripley amid a tense love triangle with Dominik Mysterio at its center.

There will also be a deeply personal match between Drew McIntyre and CM Punk that will feature Seth Rollins as the guest referee.
