WWE SummerSlam 2022: Start times, final card and how to watch

It’s been over seven years since Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns first faced off in the main event of WrestleMania 31. Since then, the two have wrestled in several high-profile matches, including two other WrestleMania main events. On Saturday at SummerSlam, however, the two WWE behemoths will battle in what is believed to be their final match.

After defeating Lesnar at WrestleMania 38, Reigns defends his unified WWE Universal Championship against The Beast in a Last Man Standing match. You can follow our live blog of the show here.

This is WWE’s second biggest show of the year, so there are plenty of other championships on the line. Becky Lynch gets her rematch at WrestleMania, challenging Bianca Belair for the Raw Women’s Title. Liv Morgan hopes to defend her SmackDown Women’s Championship against Ronda Rousey. The Usos’ United Tag Team Championships are up for grabs as they face The Street Profits, and Theory hopes to regain the United States Championship in a match against Bobby Lashley.

Plus, Theory carries that money in the bank’s briefcase. WWE was heavily teasing that he might cash in on it.

In a disappointing move, WWE pulled Seth Rollins vs. Riddle from SummerSlam. This would have been a great match for sure, but we have to look forward to seeing it on another show.

How to watch: Peacock, WWE Network

As you probably already know, the Peacock is the new home of WWE pay-per-views. The WWE Network has essentially migrated to NBC’s Peacock streaming service, and that’s where you’ll go to watch SummerSlam. Peacock has three tiers: Free, Premium and Premium Plus. To watch WWE content, you will need a Premium subscription. The good news is that it will set you back $5 a month, less than $10 for the WWE Network.

If you’re outside the US, you’ll be watching SummerSlam on the WWE Network as usual.
