The Barclays Center in Brooklyn once again hosts WWE SummerSlam 2018 this Sunday. With a stacked card, including Roman Reigns vs. Brock Lesnar and Ronda Rousey vs. Alexa Bliss, it’s sure to be a wild night. Follow along with our live review for all the results and highlights.

For the fourth consecutive year, Brooklyn’s Barclays Center plays host to the Biggest Party of the Summer. WWE SummerSlam 2018 features a massive card — thirteen matches, including the three on the Kickoff Show.

Nine of the thirteen matches that make up the show are championship matches. So every title in WWE will be contested at SummerSlam. The biggest of these title matches is probably the Universal Championship match, pitting champion Brock Lesnar against challenger Roman Reigns.

The Big Dog is getting his third chance to knock of Lesnar at SummerSlam. But thus far, The Beast has had Roman’s number. Will the third time be the charm? Or will Brock once again leave the building as Universal Champion? More importantly, will the fans in Brooklyn turn on the match yet again?

Another featured match sees Ronda Rousey challenging for the Raw Women’s Championship, held by Alexa Bliss. Rousey had the title in her grasps back at Money in the Bank, but Bliss cashed in her briefcase to win the title from Nia Jax. Alexa was just confirmed as the opponent for Trish Stratus for WWE Evolution in October — will that take her focus away from Rousey at WWE SummerSlam 2018?

But enough about Raw: What about the SmackDown Live side of things? The WWE Championship is on the line in a deeply personal conflict between champ AJ Styles and challenger Samoa Joe. Styles is the longest reigning world champion in SmackDown history, but Joe has brought family into the feud. Can AJ stay focused enough to retain the title?

And Daniel Bryan faces his longtime rival The Miz, after years of animosity. This is a feud that goes back to 2010, and it’s just as fierce now as it was then. There’s no championship on the line here — just the satisfaction of getting the upper hand, and possibly inflicting severe punishment on a hated foe.

But that’s all just a sampling of what’s on the card for WWE SummerSlam 2018. There’s plenty more to capture the attention of fans across the globe during the show. It all gets underway at 5 p.m. ET for the Kickoff Show, so be sure to follow our live review!
