WWE SummerSlam: Full Card, How to Watch, Live Results

Tonight is the night! WWE SummerSlam is happening tonight, Saturday, July 30th, in Nashville. I'm The Chadster, and I will be your official host for Bleeding Cool's live coverage of the big event. Yes, The Chadster's boyhood dream has come true! The Chadster has never been so excited in his entire life, and The Chadster hopes you're excited too. And if not, then The Chadster is sure you are taking a paycheck from Tony Khan.

Start Time and How to Watch

The SummerSlam Kickoff show will begin at 7PM Eastern with the main card starting at 8PM. There are currently eight matches scheduled for the show, though more could be added, and none are officially designated for the Kickoff show, at least not yet. SummerSlam will stream on Peacock for viewers in the United States and on the WWE Network elsewhere.

WWE SummerSlam Full Card

In the main event of SummerSlam, Roman Reigns will defend his Undisputed WWE Universal Championship against Brock Lesnar, with Theory promising to cash in his Money in the Bank briefcase on the winner. Liv Morgan will defend her Smackdown Women's Championship against Ronda Rousey. Bianca Belair will defend her Raw Women's Championship against Becky Lynch. The Usos will defend their WWE Tag Team Championships against The Street Profits with Jeff Jarrett serving as special guest referee. And in the final title match scheduled, Bobby Lashley will defend the United States Championship against Theory.

In non-title action, The Mysterios will take on Judgment Day in a No Disqualification match. Pat McAfee will face Happy Corbin. And The Miz will go one-on-one with Logan Paul. Seth Rollins was also scheduled to face Riddle at SummerSlam, but that match has been canceled. It's possible that Rollins will be added to another match at the last minute, though nothing has been announced yet.

The Chadster has worked all of his life for the opportunity to report on SummerSlam for Bleeding Cool, and finally, The Chadster's dreams have come true. After months of Bleeding Cool TV Editor Ray Flook trying to RUIN THE CHADSTER'S LIFE by forcing The Chadster to watch and write about AEW, the very company that has made The Chadster sexually impotent, Ray has finally decided to let The Chadster take point on WWE's second-biggest show of the year. Thank you, Ray. You may have tormented The Chadster for all this time, and you probably are in cahoots with Tony Khan, but this is still the greatest moment of The Chadster's life.

WWE SummerSlam Live Results

Here's how this will work. The Chadster will list all of the matches on the SummerSlam card below, and The Chadster will come back and update each match with the winner as the matches happen. But WWE deserves more than that, especially during these trying times. So The Chadster will do his best to spread the SummerSlam joy by posting additional articles with highlights from the show throughout the night. The Chadster only hopes he can do WWE justice for all of the joy WWE has provided The Chadster throughout his life.

Titus O'Neil gave a speech during the pre-show and gave WWE Title Belts to three local charities in Nashville: Meals of Hope, Pencil, and Musicians on Call. WWE and Nestle Pure Life Water donated $20,000 to each one. Has any company ever given back more to the world than WWE? How dare anyone ever criticize them!? So unfair!

The pre-show also featured another one of those cryptic teasers that people think is probably about Edge, though The Chadster personally finds it to be extremely disrespectful that people are trying to guess WWE's storylines before they air. That's WWE's intellectual property, dang it!

SummerSlam has started! The Chadster has never been so excited in his life. The closest that even comes to this is The Chadster's wedding day, but that's a distant second. It looks like Bianca Belair and Becky Lynch are going to open the show. You should see Becky's outfit. And you can… when The Chadster publishes the highlights after the match. Belair appears to be dressed like one of the Dallas Cowboys… does she know she's in Nashville? Well, who is The Chadster to question anything WWE has done?

The SummerSlam set has an entrance walkway with a 90-degree turn. The ring has normal ringposts without the LEDs, which tells The Chadster one of three things: Triple H is making changes to the set, someone is getting superplexed through the ring, or, most likely, they're in Nashville so Mayor Kane will come out and hit his pyro tonight. Okay, let The Chadster watch this match…

The match was five stars, of course. The Chadster can tell you right now that every match on the card will be. Lynch put up a good fight but ultimately got pinned by the KOD. Becky offered the handshake of respect after the match and Bianca accepted, bringing their feud full circle and putting it to rest for now, which is what's best… of course it is. WWE booked it, didn't they?!

After the match, Bayley's music hit and she came out to the entrance walkway. Then Dakota Kai's music hit and she came out. Then Io Shirai, who Corey Graves kept calling Io Sky. If that's her new name, The Chadster has to say, he loves it way better than her old one. If not, and Corey was making a mistake, then her old one was much better. All three women seem to be aligned with each other and climbed in the ring to challenge Belair, but Lynch joined Belair to chase them off.

Logan Paul vs. The Miz went on next. Miz had both Maryse and Ciampa at ringside with him. His whole team dressed in neon green and pink. Paul wore black and yellow, like a bumblebee. The Chadster doesn't watch a lot of YouTube, unless it's on the WWE channel, but he's going to have to catch up on all Logan Paul's videos now that he's a full-fledged WWE Superstar.

The match was five stars. Ciampa eventually got ejected for interfering, but he refused to leave. So AJ Styles came out and removed him. The Chadster knew that The Miz is one of the greatest of all time, but he had no idea how good Logan Paul is. He was flying all over the ring like young Shawn Michaels, but better, because instead of an elbow drop from the top rope through Miz on the announce table, he hit a frogsplash instead. Happy Corbin better watch out, because The Chadster could see this guy becoming his new favorite wrestler. Paul won with the Skull-Crushing finale. "That's how a champ does it," Paul told the cameras after the match.

In a segment between the matches, Maximum Male Models did a product placement ad for Nestle Pure Life water. The CHadster immediately dumped his White Claw seltzer in the sink and demanded Keighleyanne go to the store and buy The Chadster some Pure Life immediately. It's officially the only thing Chadster will ever drink again. Unfortunately, Keighleyanne responded very rudely to this, so The Chadster may be very thirsty very soon.

Next up was Bobby Lashley vs. Theory. Theory has been mostly ignoring Lashley in the build to focus on his plans to cash in the Money in the Bank Briefcase after the main event, which is not a good idea on his part. Theory wore yellow and blow trunks. Lashley was in black and yellow tights, obviously a tribute to Logan Paul.

Theory viciously assaulted Lashley with the briefcase before the match started. It didn't make much of a difference as Lashley beat him pretty quickly with the Hurt Lock in a five-star match. Lashley remains the United States Champion, but Theory didn't get beat up too badly, which means his plans for later tonight are still in play.

Judgment Day vs. The Mysterios was up next. Judgement Day were dressed like the teenagers at the mall who laughed at The Chadster that time he was fired from Auntie Anne's pretzels, so it was a little triggering for The Chadster. The Mysterios were doing Hulk Hogan cosplay.

The Mysterios got in a lot of offense at first in this five-star match, but the size of Damian Priest and the numbers advantage eventually got the better of them. But just as Balor and Priest were about to give Rey a Conchairto, Edge appeared with a short haircut, long beard, and a studded red leather jacket. The stage lit up with flaming steps when he came out to Brood-like music. Edge speared Priest and Balor, allowing the Mysterios to hit a double 609 on Balor and Rey to get the pin. Edge celebrated with the Mysterios after the match, and The Chadster celebrated at home by chugging giving in and drinking another White Claw Seltzer. The Chadster is really buzzed now, and the night is only half over. Thank you so much for giving The Chadster this joy, WWE.

Corbin vs. McAfee kicked off the second half of SummerSlam, but in The Chadster's eyes, it was the main event. Everyone knows that Happy Corbin is The Chadster's favorite wrestler, so The Chadster has been dying to see him get revenge on the extremely disrespectful McAfee. Corbin wore matching blue sneakers, tights, vest, and fedora to the ring. The man really has style. McAfee wore black shorts and a black tank top, but he had a choir singing "bum *** Corbin" for his entrance music. Auughh man! So unfair!

The Chadster would just like to say that the commentary during this match was extremely unfair. Maybe Vince McMahon needs to come back and start yelling in the announcers' ears again, because Michael Cole was so biased in rooting for Pat McAfee during the entire match, Happy Corbin had to shove at one point to keep him in his place, and Cole continued to say really mean things about Corbin, like calling him a "bully." The only one bullying here was Michael Cole! So disrespectful.

The match was going great, and obviously, it was five stars, but then Corbin accidentally hit the ref, and McAfee used the opportunity to hit a low blow on Corbin and pin him. What a travesty of justice! Corbin had that match won and McAfee stole it so unfairly! The Chadster is going to write a very polite email to WWE customer support after this and beg them to reconsider this decision. After the match, Corbin celebrated with Cole and took a beer from the fans, which The Chadster thinks was extremely biased of the fan who gave it to him.

Drew McIntyre came to the entryway to promote his match at Clash at the Castle. He made fun of the SummerSlam main event a little bit, which The Chadster thinks was a little bit disrespectful, but McIntyre is a former WWE Champion so The Chadster would never say anything negative about him. Unless he signed with AEW. McIntyre used his sword to magically set off some fireworks in the stadium.

Jeff Jarrett came out first in his referee shirt for Usos vs. Street Profits. The Street Profits, dressed in Dallas Cowboys jerseys, came out next and they had an elaborate entrance with some Dallas cheerleaders. Why is there so much Cowboys stuff going on in Nashville? Is The Chadster missing something? The Usos came out next in shiny black pleather tights. Guess they aren't football fans.

For a guy who has hit a lot of people with guitars over the years, Jarrett was a surprisingly strict referee. He was really on top of things and a stickler for the rules. The Chadster is also a stickler for the rules, so he appreciates that. Some people say that rules are meant to be broken, but The Chadster believes that the rule that rules are made to be broken is the only rule that is made to be broken. The Usos retained in a five-star match with the 1-D on Angelo Dawkins. The Chadster is glad no titles have changed hands so far tonight. The Chadster isn't a big fan of change.

Kid Rock was in the crowd and he made out with a beautiful woman. The Chadster loves some Kid Rock. Bawitdaba was song that played at The Chadster and Keighleyanne's first dance at our wedding. The Chadster remembers it fondly. The time before AEW. The time before sexual impotence and Tony Khan trying to RUIN THE CHADSTER'S LIFE!

Then Riddle showed up out of the crowd. How did he get into the stadium without a shirt on? They never let The Chadster go anywhere without a shirt. Not stadiums. Not the grocery store. Not Subway. Riddle got in the ring and demanded a match with Seth Rollins even though he isn't medically cleared. Rollins came out dressed like a pumpkin and stomped him.

Liv Morgan vs. Ronda Rousey took the penultimate match slot. Rousey wore black and Morgan wore purple for the match. It was short, but sweet. The ending was controversial, as Rousey had Morgan in the armbar and Morgan pinned her while in the hold. Morgan tapped while the ref was counting to three, but he didn't see it, so Morgan retained. Rousey attacked Morgan after the match and then put the referee in the armbar. That kind of behavior is just not acceptable. That's a WWE official. You should never disrespect authority like that in The Chadster's opinion.

See highlights from Morvan vs. Rousey here.

Mayor Kane hit the ring to announce the attendance for SummerSlam tonight: 48,449. Wow! The Chadster is so impressed. How do you do it, WWE?!

Finally, the main event. This right now is the greatest moment in The Chadster's life. It will never be better than this. If The Chadster could freeze time, he would live forever in this moment, recapping SummerSlam with the most important match in the history of wrestling right in front of him.

Reigns came out first with Paul Heyman. He asked the crowd in Nashville to acknowledge him, and they obliged. The Chadster hopes Roman knows that The Chadster also acknowledged him at home. Lesnar came out next and, he drove a bulldozer to the ring. Lesnar jumped off the bulldozer into the ring and the match was underway.

Though this was a five-star match, and possibly the greatest main event in the history of SummerSlam, The Chadster has to admit he was pretty nervous during the whole thing. The announcers kept talking about how there were "no rules" in the match and that makes The Chadster very uncomfortable. Rules are so important, in The Chadster's opinion.

That lack of rules led to lots of violence outside the ring, and even Lesnar putting Reigns in the shovel of the bulldozer and then dumping him back into the ring with it. But things went totally off the rails when Lesnar took the bulldozer and used it to pick up half the ring and dump Reigns right out of it! The Usos got involved. Paul Heyman got involved, and got put through the announced table. Theory tried to cash in, but got F5ed.

But Theory gave Reigns the chance to take Lesnar out. It took a double superkick from the Usos, a spear from Reigns, a beatdown with the briefcase by Reigns, a shot in the face from each of Roman's title belts, and being buried underneath everything at ringside, but Lesnar eventually succumbed to the 10-count.

Roman Reigns is still champion, and the greatest match of all time, taking place at the greatest SummerSlam of all time, is over. And now, The Chadster feels… a sort of emptiness. The Chadster will never feel this good again. Does life even hold any more meaning for The Chadster?

Well, there's one way this could be topped. Will Ray Flook let The Chadster live blog WrestleMania next year?
