Here are five predictions for WWE SummerSlam 2026 :
#5. Liv Morgan vs. IYO SKY for the Women’s World Championship
SummerSlam is two months away, and the Women’s World Championship picture appears to be shaping up around IYO SKY. This week on Monday Night Raw, SKY won the first-round qualifier match of the Queen of the Ring tournament and advanced to the semifinals. She is likely to win the entire contest and go on to challenge for the Women’s World Championship.
Liv Morgan vs. IYO SKY is a marquee match that may take place at the at The Biggest Party of the Summer this year. The two superstars need a blockbuster feud and this appears to be the direction WWE is heading for the annual summer spectacle. WWE may position it as one of the biggest feuds of the women’s division, booking it on the card for SummerSlam 2026.
#4. Cody Rhodes headlines SummerSlam Night 1
Cody Rhodes is expected to walk into SummerSlam 2026 as the Undisputed WWE Champion. The American Nightmare has been on a phenomenal run since winning the coveted title in March. Rhodes is expected to be part of a blockbuster match at The Biggest Party of the Summer, which may close the first night in the U.S. Bank Stadium on August 1.
Roman Reigns is likely to headline Night 2 of SummerSlam this year with his World Heavyweight Championship match. Therefore, the Stamford-based promotion is very likely to book Cody Rhodes in the main event of Night 1 to keep the Undisputed WWE Championship in the spotlight. It will be interesting to see who faces Rhodes for the coveted title at the summer PLE.
#3. Charlotte Flair vs. Rhea Ripley for the WWE Women’s Title
Charlotte Flair is one of the top stars in WWE and she could be part of a high-profile match at SummerSlam this year. The Queen may battle Rhea Ripley for the WWE Women’s Championship at the two-night extravaganza. The two superstars have been intricately involved in the same storyline lately on SmackDown, and it appears WWE is planting the seeds of their championship feud.
Flair is one of the biggest favorites to win this year’s Queen of the Ring tournament. She could capture the crown and go on to challenge Ripley for the WWE Women’s Championship. The two superstars have a rich history and possess main-event credibility. Therefore, they may go up against each other to revisit their rivalry at The Biggest Party of the Summer.
#2. Roman Reigns retains his title in the mainevent of Night 2
Roman Reigns has been reigning supreme as the World Heavyweight Champion on Monday Night Raw. The OTC has defended his title at back-to-back premium live events including Backlash and Clash in Italy. Reigns is expected to be part of a high-profile match at SummerSlam 2026 and that match will likely headline the second night of the event in Minneapolis.
While speculation may suggest that he would lose the World Heavyweight Championship at The Biggest Party of the Summer, the outcome could be different. Roman Reigns may retain the coveted title and walk out of the PLE as still champion. This may be a bold prediction, but The Tribal Chief may continue to reign even after the annual summer spectacle.
#1. The Final Chapter: Brock Lesnar vs. Oba Femi III
Brock Lesnar and Oba Femi battled each other twice with both having one victory over each. While The Ruler emerged victorious at WrestleMania 42, The Beast stood tall at Clash in Italy. The two superstars now stand at an equal score. This blockbuster rivalry may culminate at SummerSlam this year with Lesnar and Femi locking horns for one final clash to cap off their feud.
This rivalry has transcended the heights of ferocity, evolving into a battle of pure, unadulterated supremacy. A monumental trilogy of this magnitude demands an equally colossal stage and the U.S. Bank Stadium may bear witness. The endgame of Brock Lesnar vs. Oba Femi will possibly take place at The Biggest Party of the Summer, marking the final chapter of this feud.
