WWE Summerslam is this weekend: Here's everything you need to know

This weekend - August 2-3 - sees one of wrestling's 'Big Four' events take place in New Jersey's MetLife Arena: SummerSlam. A huge event under any circumstances, this year WWE has upped the ante by making it a two-day affair for the very first time. This is also the first time Irish viewers will be able to catch all the action live on Netflix, and with Irish superstars Becky Lynch and Lyra Valkyria on the card, there's every reason to stay up late to catch it. Here's everything you need to know about this wrestling extravaganza: What is SummerSlam? WWE's annual blockbuster event SummerSlam is the second biggest event in the WWE calendar behind WrestleMania. Dubbed 'The Biggest Party of The Summer', this year marks the first ever two-night SummerSlam, set to unfold at MetLife Stadium, New Jersey - a 100,000 seat venue with millions watching from around the world. How many nights is SummerSlam? Since its inception in 1988, SummerSlam has been a one-night spectacle, but in 2025, history will be made. For the first time ever, SummerSlam will be a two-night event, kicking off a new chapter that will continue into 2026 and beyond. How do I watch SummerSlam in the UK and Ireland? This will be the first time ever that UK & Ireland viewers will be able to stream WWE's SummerSlam on Netflix, live from 11:00pm BST on Saturday, August 2 and 11:00pm BST on Sunday, August 3. Previously, Premium Live Events (PLE) have only been available as pay-per-view, but now Netflix subscribers in the UK and Ireland can watch every PLE as a part of their monthly subscription. What is the full matchcard for SummerSlam? The highly anticipated rematch is finally here. John Cena and Cody Rhodes will battle it out AGAIN for The Undisputed WWE Championship in the Main Event. After successfully surviving challenges from Randy Orton at Backlash and CM Punk at Night of Champions earlier this year, Cena now faces Cody 'The American Nightmare' Rhodes, who is back with vengeance and will be determined to reclaim The Undisputed WWE Championship that he lost at WrestleMania 41.
