On Saturday, August 5th, World Wrestling Entertainment presents WWE SummerSlam 2023. From the Motor City Detroit, Michigan, the company has eight matches scheduled to take place. What can we anticipate to happen? See our preview below to find out more.
WWE SummerSlam 2023
Logan Paul vs. Ricochet
These two had a fantastic moment at the Royal Rumble, with the double top rope cross-body blocks across the ring, crashing into each other in the center of the ring. They had another moment in the Men’s Money in the Bank match. That moment leads up to here.
Ricochet and Paul have gone back and forth talking about it. Now, it is time to go in the ring. Will Ricochet pull off the win? Can Logan Paul pick up his first win in WWE instead?

Men’s SummerSlam Battle Royal
We don’t have a full list of participants yet. We have found out that WWE and Slim Jim have a new partnership, and this is the match they are sponsoring. Only two participants have been officially announced, Sheamus and LA Knight.
Will LA Knight’s recent meteoritic rise carry him to victory? Will somebody else step up to the plate and steal the win?

MMA Rules:
Ronda Rousey vs. Shayna Baszler
The unique stipulation here fits both of their backgrounds. The match came about suddenly after Baszler turned on Rousey, costing them the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship.
The two-part video package on Raw was very well done to explain how this feud started. Will Rousey top her friend? Will Baszler have the Badest Woman on the Planet’s number?

Intercontinental Championship:
GUNTHER (c) vs. Drew McIntyre
Drew McIntyre made his stunning return at Money in the Bank by stepping up to the Ring General. Imperium has had the numbers game over McIntyre, even after McIntyre got the help of Matt Riddle. GUNTHER is also about 40 days away from breaking the Honky Tonk Man’s all-time title reign record.
Will GUNTHER continue on his quest to break the Honky Tonk Man’s record? Can McIntyre overcome the odds and capture the Intercontinental Championship?

WWE Women’s Championship:
Asuka (c) vs. Bianca Belair vs. Charlotte Flair
The dynamics here are interesting. Charlotte Flair just recently returned and walked into a title match before Belair got her rematch. Belair cost Flair that match. Belair got her rematch, and Flair returned the favor by costing her the match. A triple-threat match is how we are going to settle this.
There is a wildcard here.
IYO SKY still holds the Women’s Money in the Bank contract. Will she cash in or just lurk in the background? Who will come out on top in the triple-threat match? All three have even odds to win the match.
WWE SummerSlam 2023
World Heavyweight Championship:
Seth “Freakin” Rollins (c) vs. Finn Balor
This is a rematch from Money in the Bank. Balor is obsessed with capturing the World Heavyweight Championship after their Universal Championship match seven years ago. The Judgment Day always is lurking outside the ring. Rollins won their previous encounter.
Can he make it two in a row? Will Balor capture the championship instead? What will Senor Money in the Bank do? Will he cash in on Rollins? Would he cash in on Balor? The possibilities are endless in this one.
WWE SummerSlam 2023
Brock Lesnar vs. Cody Rhodes
The rubber match between these two will take place at SummerSlam. Rhodes picked up the surprising victory at Backlash, while Lesnar picked up the win at Night of Champions. Rhodes issued the challenge, and Lesnar accepted it.
Will Rhodes avenge his loss? Will the Beast Incarnate come out on top?
WWE SummerSlam 2023
Tribal Combat Match For the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship:
Roman Reigns (c) vs. Jey Uso
The Bloodline story has been the greatest story told in WWE in at least the past 20 years. Uso shocked the world when he pinned Reigns at Money in the Bank, handing Reigns his first pinfall defeat in three years. Tribal Combat means anything goes with the only way to win is by pinfall or submission.
There are a lot of variables in this match. Will the elders make an appearance? Is Jimmy Uso healed up enough to help his brother? With the strike in Hollywood, will The Rock make an appearance? In the end, will the Tribal Chief reign supreme? Can Jey Uso overcome the odds one more time and pull off the upset of the decade?
