SummerSlam 2026 Results: Two Nights, Three New Champions, and One Last Fist Bump
August 1–2, 2026 · U.S. Bank Stadium, Minneapolis, Minnesota
Here are the full SummerSlam 2026 results from both nights in Minneapolis. WWE ran two cards across one weekend at U.S. Bank Stadium, twelve matches in total, and the weekend did real damage to the status quo. Three championships changed hands. A returning legend blew up the Undisputed WWE Title picture. A part-timer who beats everybody got beaten. And the longest-running story in modern WWE finally got its last beat.
Every result below, night by night, then what the weekend actually did. (If you want the backstory on how this show ended up in Minnesota in the first place, we covered that one at length.)
Night One: SummerSlam Saturday (August 1)
1. Liv Morgan def. IYO SKY to retain the Women’s World Championship. SKY, this year’s Queen of the Ring, went at the champion hard. She hit a moonsault to ringside and later landed her own version of Morgan’s finisher, which is its own kind of insult. Morgan answered with an avalanche codebreaker, countered SKY’s finisher, and hit Oblivion for the pin.
2. LA Knight, Solo Sikoa & Royce Keys def. Jey Uso, Jimmy Uso & Jacob Fatu. Sikoa started a YEET party at his cousins’ expense, because of course he did. Royce Keys was the one who came out of this looking made, dropping Jacob Fatu with a spinebuster and then a powerslam over the barricade. Knight finished it with the BFT on Jey.
3. Gunther def. Nick Aldis by submission. Aldis’ WWE in-ring debut, against roughly the worst possible opponent for one. Gunther spent the match targeting Aldis’ wife, Mickie James, at ringside. Aldis locked in the King’s Lynn Cloverleaf twice and could not convert either one. A sleeper hold ended it.
4. Fatal Influence def. The Bella Twins & Paige. Jacy Jayne, Fallon Henley and Lainey Reid took it by pin. The finish was not the story. After the bell, The Bella Twins turned on Paige and left her laid out.
5. CM Punk def. Cody Rhodes to retain the Undisputed WWE Championship. Rhodes had it. Then Randy Orton came back and put him down with an RKO. Punk hit the GTS on what was left and covered him. No explanation was offered for any of it.
6. Oba Femi def. Brock Lesnar in Hell in a Cell. Lesnar ripped up the ring mat and delivered a Tombstone onto the exposed hardwood, and Femi kicked out of it. Femi won with Fall From Grace. Afterward Lesnar declared Femi the future of WWE, which is not a sentence Brock Lesnar hands out.
Night Two: SummerSlam Sunday (August 2)
7. Kevin Owens def. Gunther, Finn Bálor & Sami Zayn in a Fatal 4-Way for the No. 1 contendership. Owens’ first match in seventeen months. Zayn raised his knees on an Owens swanton, straight into the surgically repaired neck that cost him that year and a half. Gunther had a sleeper on Zayn before Bálor broke it up with the Coup de Grace. Owens then hit Stunners on Bálor, Gunther and Zayn, in that order, and won the shot.
8. Baron Corbin def. Trick Williams to win the United States Championship. Lil Yachty got involved on Williams’ behalf and cracked Corbin with the Trick Stick. Williams then accidentally put Yachty through a ringside table during an argument over the belt. Corbin struck Williams with the title and followed with End of Days. New champion.
9. Chelsea Green def. Tiffany Stratton, Charlotte Flair, Jade Cargill & Lash Legend in a ladder match to become Interim WWE Women’s Champion. Cargill hit Jaded on Green onto a ladder. Legend powerbombed Stratton off the top of one. B-Fab and Michin came out to attack Green. Green won it anyway, hanging upside down by her feet at the bottom of the ladder, and took the first world title of her career.
10. Danhausen def. Dominik Mysterio in a Human Monies on a Pole Match. JD McDonagh and the Minihausens caused problems throughout. Joe Hendry turned up and hit McDonagh with a guitar. Danhausen cursed Mysterio, sent pyro out of the turnbuckle, and collected the monies.
11. Chad Gable def. Penta to win the Intercontinental Championship. Penta worked Gable’s shoulder the whole match. Gable went through it anyway: a German suplex on the apron, a moonsault, a Mexican destroyer, and then the Ankle Lock for the tap. First singles title of his career.
12. Roman Reigns def. Seth Rollins to retain the World Heavyweight Championship. Reigns suplexed Rollins onto concrete. Both men went through announce tables. Rollins kicked out of a Spear at the last possible second. Reigns caught the referee with a Spear by accident. They traded Shield tribute spots, including Reigns using Dirty Deeds. Then Reigns picked up a steel chair, the one prop this entire story is built on, and threw it away, and beat Rollins with strikes and three straight Spears instead. Afterward the two of them did the fist bump.

What It All Means
The main event is the one that matters, and it matters for a reason that has almost nothing to do with the championship. Reigns throwing the chair away is the story getting its ending. That chair is the reason all of this happened in the first place. Him retaining is close to incidental. The fist bump was the point, and doing it in front of a full stadium in Minneapolis rather than saving it for Mania is a choice worth respecting.
Beyond that, the Undisputed WWE Title picture is a completely different shape than it was on Friday. Randy Orton is back and nobody has said why. Cody Rhodes now has a reason to be furious at two men instead of one. And Kevin Owens walked in off seventeen months out and walked out as the next challenger, which is a lot of story to fit into one weekend. Three belts moved (Corbin, Green, Gable), and two of those three were firsts: Green’s first world title, Gable’s first singles title. Oba Femi beat Brock Lesnar cleanly enough that Lesnar said the quiet part into a microphone on his way out.
Two nights, twelve matches, three new champions and one ending. The card that looked thin two weeks ago turned into the most consequential weekend WWE has run this year. Follow @DAPCWrestling on X for live reactions, post-show takes, and everything we publish.
