WWE Premium Live Event | WWE SummerSlam — The Show Previews List:

• Tiffany Stratton is set to face Jade Cargill, the Queen of the Ring winner, with the WWE Women’s Championship on the line. Jade Cargill aims to secure her first Women’s World Title reign and has been very determined, stating this is the most important match of her career and her chance to dominate the Women’s Division. Will Tiffany Stratton succeed in defeating Jade Cargill, or will Jade finally become the next Women’s Champion?

• Jelly Roll, a musical performer, will make his WWE debut tonight alongside Randy Orton as his tag team partner. He first appeared on the July episode of SmackDown, where he was interrupted by Logan Paul, sparking their feud. Randy Orton came to Jelly Roll’s aid during an attack, but Drew McIntyre intervened and aligned with Logan Paul. Over the following weeks, they faced off multiple times, including a brawl on the Jimmy Kimmel show where Jelly Roll put Logan Paul through a table. Now, Jelly Roll has much to prove, teaming with Randy Orton on WWE’s second-biggest show. Can he defeat Drew McIntyre and Logan Paul and make a statement tonight?

• CM Punk gets a second shot at a World Title as he faces Gunther, the Ring General. Punk earned this opportunity by winning a Gauntlet Match and defeating Bron Breakker. This match is personal for Punk, who has expressed his goal of becoming World Champion again since returning in 2023. He told Gunther he would give everything to win this match. As the main event on Night One, this is CM Punk’s biggest chance to become World Champion, and he needs to be at his best to beat one of the top wrestlers in the world.

• Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair are a surprising team, as they have very different personalities. However, in recent months, their friendship has grown, especially after Charlotte Flair's changed attitude, making her more comfortable and enjoying her time with Alexa Bliss. As a team, they have already caused damage and now have a chance to become WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions by defeating The Judgment Day’s Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez. They had a brief rivalry—Charlotte Flair defeated Raquel Rodriguez weeks ago, but Roxanne Perez got a win back by pinning Alexa Bliss with a roll-up. Both teams want to come out on top as champions. Who will win, and can Bliss and Flair team up to take down Rodriguez and Perez to become the next WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions?

• Roman Reigns made his return on Monday Night RAW, taking out Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed while rescuing his cousin Jey Uso. Reigns has some unfinished business after Paul Heyman, his former wise man, turned on him at WrestleMania 41. Since then, Reigns has been off TV due to attacks from Seth Rollins and Bron Breakker on the RAW after WrestleMania. With Jey Uso’s help, a new tag team was formed—Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed teamed up with Paul Heyman, while Reigns and Jey Uso reunited for the first time in years. Their previous encounter on the go-home show ended with Breakker and Reed dismantling Reigns and Uso, signaling their goal to settle the score at SummerSlam in the opening match. Can they succeed against Reigns and Jey Uso?

• Sami Zayn has been fighting Karrion Kross since February. Kross played mind games, telling Sami that he isn’t what he appears to be and that he harbors evil. Sami didn’t care, and eventually they fought at WWE Night of Champions, where Sami defeated Kross. Sami thought it was over, but Kross responded with vicious attacks, ultimately defeating Sami with a pipe to even the series at one win each. Now, in their rubber match at SummerSlam, Sami Zayn aims to finally end Kross’s challenge once and for all.
