The Women’s World Championship match between champion Liv Morgan and IYO SKY has officially been chosen to launch Night 1 of SummerSlam 2026. When the main broadcast begins, Morgan and SKY will be the first competitors to hit the stage, opening a night stacked with major matches and high‑stakes drama.
WWE SummerSlam Main Event Plans Raise Questions
The early spoiler rundown points to Lesnar vs. Femi closing the show. The choice is surprising, as WWE usually ends major events with a world title match. It also breaks from Lesnar’s long‑standing pattern of opening shows and leaving immediately afterward. With SummerSlam taking place in his hometown of Minneapolis, Minnesota, Lesnar’s schedule may be different this time.
A growing number of people believe Lesnar may be preparing to retire for good tonight, which makes WWE’s decision to give him the main event slot understandable. At this point, we do not know if that is officially the case, but the speculation has picked up steam throughout the day.
If the main event between Brock Lesnar and Oba Femi is confirmed, we’re sure to expect a big surprise.
The current lineup also suggests CM Punk will retain the Undisputed WWE Championship in his match against Cody Rhodes, especially with the Hell in a Cell bout positioned as the closer.
Earlier today, Punk shared photos on Instagram Stories showing the official ringside chairs for SummerSlam, and the match was listed as a Street Fight for the Undisputed Title. As of now, WWE has not announced any special stipulation for the championship showdown, leaving the situation unclear heading into the event.
Below is the spoiler lineup for WWE SummerSlam Saturday:
- Women’s World Championship: Liv Morgan vs. IYO SKY
- Six-Man Tag Team Match: The Bloodline vs. Royce Keys, LA Knight and Solo Sikoa
- Singles Match: GUNTHER vs. Nick Aldis
- Six-Woman Tag Team Match: Fatal Influence vs. The Bella Twins and Paige
- Undisputed WWE Championship Match: CM Punk vs. Cody Rhodes
