WWE SummerSlam 2019: How to watch, start times, full card and WWE Network
Who's next?
Kofi Kingston defends his WWE title against Randy Orton.
WWE's SummerSlam is the second biggest wrestling event of the year, after only WrestleMania. That means we can expect a veritable grappling extravaganza on Aug. 11, a 6-hour show headlined by Universal Champion Brock Lesnar taking on Seth Rollins. With rival promotion AEW getting its own prime-time slot on TNT, WWE has serious competition for the first time in nearly two decades. Hopefully that pressure translates to an unforgettable SummerSlam.
Other key matches will see Kofi Kingston defend his WWE Championship against Randy Orton and Ricochet challenge AJ Styles for the United States Championship. We've also got some returning legends, as Goldberg is dusting off his boots to wrestle Dolph Ziggler and Charlotte Flair is challenged by Trish Stratus.
Not on the match card is Daniel Bryan vs. Roman Reigns, which has been teased on TV with a goofy whodunit storyline. (Daniel Bryan dunit, that's who.) Though they're not currently scheduled to wrestle, it's likely their story will be a key part of the show.
