WWE SummerSlam 2022: How to Watch, Match Card and NBC Peacock – CNET [CNET]

Roman Reigns defends his WWE Universal Championship titles against Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam.

In the main event of WrestleMania 38, Roman Reigns got a clean win over Brock Lesnar to unify the Universal and WWE Championships. To keep those titles, Reigns will have to defeat Lesnar in a Last Man Standing match at SummerSlam on July 30. If he does, it’ll bring Reigns within striking distance of holding the Universal Championship for two years straight. 

Reigns’ title is not the only one up for grabs. Becky Lynch challenges Bianca Belair for the Raw Women’s Championship, and SummerSlam will also see Liv Morgan defend her SmackDown Women’s Championship against Ronda Rousey. Plus, a rematch between The Usos and The Street Profits for the former’s unified tag team championships.

In a non-tittle match that may well steal the show, Seth Rollins will take on Riddle.

How to watch: Peacock, WWE Network

As you probably know by now, Peacock is the new home of WWE’s pay-per-views. The WWE Network has, in essence, migrated to NBC’s Peacock streaming service, and that’s where you’ll go to watch SummerSlam. Peacock has three tiers: Free, Premium and Premium Plus. To watch WWE content, you’ll need a Premium subscription. The good news is, that’ll set you back $5 a month, less than the $10 for WWE Network. 

If you’re outside of the US, you’ll watch SummerSlam on the WWE Network as usual.
