Night One of this year’s SummerSlam will feature two title matches, and their big ones, as Liv Morgan makes the first televised/streamed defense of her WWE Women’s World championship against Queen of the Ring winner Oba Femi and CM Punk defends the Undisputed WWE championship against his friend(?) Cody Rhodes. We’ll also get a Hell in a Cell rubber match between Brock Lesnar and Oba Femi, Nick Aldis returning to the ring to face Gunther, and more! The event will get rolling at 3 p.m. Eastern with the free Countdown show, which runs for three hours on WWE and ESPN’s online outlets, among other places. That leads right on into the premium live event at 6 p.m. Eastern, which in the United States will be ESPN’s new streaming platform. Everywhere else (or if you take Stephanie McMahon’s advice), it’s on Netflix.
