WWE SummerSlam 2017: Complete Match Card
Here is the match card for the WWE SummerSlam pay-per-view.
WWE SummerSlam takes place tonight live from the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. SummerSlam is WWE’s second biggest show of the year behind WrestleMania and is one of the “big four” pay per view. Because of its prominence, SummerSlam will feature Superstars from both RAW and SmackDown Live as it is a dual brand pay per view. Every title in the WWE will be on the line with the exception of the Intercontinental Championship.
The festivities will begin on the SummerSlam Kickoff Show. The special 2-hour kickoff show will feature 3 matches. First, we have Jason Jordan and The Hardy Boyz vs The Miztourage. Next, the SmackDown Tag Team Championships will be on the line when The New Day takes on The Usos. Finally, Akira Tozawa will defend his newly won Cruiserweight Championship against “The King of the Cruiserweights” Neville.
Now, onto the main card, let’s start with the SmackDown Live side of things. Randy Orton will face Rusev. Fresh off his failed Money in the Bank cash in, a furious Baron Corbin will go one on one with John Cena. The United States Championship will be on the line when AJ Styles defends his title against Kevin Owens with Shane McMahon as the special guest referee. With Carmella, Ms. Money in the Bank, looming Naomi defends the SmackDown Women’s Championship against Natalya. And finally, in the SmackDown Live main event Shinsuke Nakamura will challenge Jinder Mahal for the WWE Championship.
And now on the RAW side of the card. Enzo Amore will be suspended above the ring inside a shark cage when the Big Show and Big Cass face off in a battle of giants. Two-thirds of the Shield will reunite when Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins challenge Cesaro and Sheamus for the RAW Tag Team Championships. The Demon will return to Brooklyn when Finn Balor faces Bray Wyatt. Alex Bliss looks to retain her RAW Women’s Championship when she takes on the challenger, Sasha Banks. And finally, the match that should close out the show. Brock Lesnar will defend the WWE Universal Championship in a Fatal 4 Way Match against Roman Reigns, Braun Strowman and Samoa Joe.
