As for Night 2, it&#8217;s a championship night, supported by Danhausen making his SummerSlam debut in a bid to finally get rid of himself of the ever-looming Dominik Mysterio and The Judgment Day. Danhausen has been on a roll, and he looks to continue that against the former Intercontinental Champion.<\/p>\n<p>To round out SummerSlam 2026 with a bang, we&#8217;re going to be treated to the final epic conclusion to Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins. Reigns has never beaten Rollins &#8220;when it counts.&#8221; Now, he has the opportunity to do so. It&#8217;s going to be two hectic nights to kick off August, and the WWE Universe should not miss a bit of it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"max-width: 610px\"><smartframe-embed class=\"smartframe_wp_element\" customer-id=\"a61405551f80e72f675225f083759bb9\" image-id=\"fwuQrsKHBaNN\" style=\"width: 100%; display: inline-flex; max-width: 4000px; aspect-ratio: 4000\/2662;\" ><\/smartframe-embed><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WWE SummerSlam 2026 is this weekend, August 1st (Saturday) and August 2nd (Sunday).
