At Night of Champions 2026, Sami Zayn became the new Undisputed WWE Champion. As Oba Femi’s world title match is on hold, the Undisputed Title match at SummerSlam will be intriguing to witness.

In this article, we will explore four possible Undisputed Championship matches at the Biggest Party of the Summer.

#4. Cody Rhodes vs. CM Punk

The forthcoming episode of WWE RAW will take place live from Chicago. Many fans believe that CM Punk might return to the show after a long absence.

WWE has already teased the Punk vs. Rhodes potential match on RAW after WrestleMania 42. So, in case the American Nightmare regains the Undisputed Championship before the Biggest Party of the Summer, the Second City Saint might return to challenge Cody for SummerSlam.

This could be a blockbuster match for the SummerSlam card, particularly after Roman vs. Seth is already announced for the World Heavyweight Title.

#3. Sami Zayn vs. Cody Rhodes rematch for the Undisputed WWE title

Sami Zayn dethroned Cody Rhodes by pinning him at Night of Champions 2026. The Prodigal Son was surprised by the outcome. The promotion can set the stage for a rematch between Zayn and Rhodes at SummerSlam 2026.

Gunther is already out of the world title picture, as he has had three title shots without becoming champion. Also, he had a heated backstage altercation with Nick Aldis post-NoC, suggesting a feud between them.

Considering this, a Sami vs. Cody rematch is another possible option for the upcoming PLE.

#2. Sami Zayn vs. Jey Uso

On the latest episode of WWE RAW, Jey Uso asserted that he lost the King of the Ring tournament, but he is still eyeing the Undisputed Championship. The YEET Master’s words suggest he might confront Sami Zayn soon and demand an undisputed title shot.

If this happens, then Sami vs. Jey Undisputed Title match might take place at SummerSlam 2026, with the Samoan Twin getting another opportunity to bring gold back to the Bloodline.

#1. Zayn vs. Rhodes vs. Punk triple threat match

When CM Punk appeared on RAW after WrestleMania, he affirmed that he was waiting for the perfect time to strike. As Cody Rhodes is no longer the Undisputed WWE Champion, the Voice of the Voiceless might return to confront Sami, seeking a World Championship match at SummerSlam 2026.

Also, as Jey Uso has already teased coming for Sami Zayn, a triple threat match between these three is likely to take place at the Biggest Party of the Summer.

Rest, it remains to be seen how things will unfold and what will happen with Zayn as the Undisputed Champion.
