Yes, after pinning his cousin at Money in The Bank, Jey Uso returns to fight Roman Reigns in a one on one main event for the first time since 2020. In the years since, Reigns gaslit the Usos, brought in their younger brother Solo Sikoa to be a protector and acted betrayed as the Bloodline fractured. Roman and Solo recently injured Jey's brother Jimmy at Madison Square Garden, forcing him off TV.
Now, they face off in something called a Tribal Combat match, which WWE.com says means "anything goes and but no one can interfere until Jey and Roman’s match is over! No disqualification, no count-out. The only way to win is by pinfall or submission." That fine print would suggest that fan theories that Jimmy will turn on Jey — possibly leading to a WrestleMania match — won't come true.
Elsewhere on the card, Cody Rhodes feels the need to decisively beat Brock Lesnar, and not have another fluke victory over The Beast. Asuka defends her championship in a Triple Threat match against Charlotte Flair and Bianca Belair, and Seth "Freakin" Rollins defends his title against Finn Balor, in a SummerSlam 2016 rematch.
Here's everything you need to watch the SummerSlam 2023 live stream:
How to watch SummerSlam from anywhere
How to watch SummerSlam live streams from anywhere on Earth
While Peacock is available all across the U.S. and the WWE Network is still the standard around the world (though that's changing), SummerSlam live streams can get a bit confusing. You might want to check out a VPN if you can't watch with the service you normally use.
International audiences will be pretty jealous of U.S. audiences, which will save cash by switching to Peacock (unless you get the no-ads tier at $9.99 per month).
The best VPN is ExpressVPN. It meets the VPN needs of the vast majority of users, offering outstanding compatibility with most devices and impressive connection speeds.
SummerSlam live streams in the U.S. are cheaper
The only way to watch SummerSlam live streams in the U.S. is with Peacock. WWE Premium Live Events are in the $5.99 Peacock Premium tier; the $9.99 Peacock Premium Plus tier doesn't get you anything extra for this show. Peacock is now available on most of the best streaming devices.
There's no need to pay for the ad-free tier for WWE live events, as there are always ads in the live editions of Peacock programming.
SummerSlam live streams in U.K.
Our friends in the United Kingdom will grab SummerSlam live streams on the WWE Network, for a higher price — closer to the $9.99 that Americans used to pay.
It's also available from BT Sport Box Office for £14.95.
Americans abroad, though, can use ExpressVPN to watch on Peacock (U.K. Peacock doesn't have WWE).
