Send us Fan Mail WWE SummerSlam is going the WrestleMania route by expanding to two days. New Jersey hosts the cornerstone pay-per-view on Saturday and Sunday with John Cena vs. Cody Rhodes among the marquee matches. Cena defeated Rhodes at WrestleMania 41 to win the undisputed WWE championship. Three months later, Rhodes scratched his way back to title contention through the King of the Ring tournament. The inaugural two-day SummerSlam is suitable grounds for a rematch between two of WWE's top stars. Among the other 12 matches set for this weekend are each world title in the men's and women's divisions at stake. That includes an interesting showdown between world heavyweight champion Gunther and CM Punk. Gunther regained his title from Jey Uso after losing it at WrestleMania in April Now, he welcomes his first true challenge in CM Punk, who has yet to secure a world title since returning to WWE in 2023. Plus, the WWE women's championship is at stake when Tiffany Stratton looks to defend against rising star Jade Cargill.
