At WWE Sunday Night's Main Event 2026, Lil Yachty stepped into a WWE ring for the first time as a wrestler in defense of his friend Trick Williams.
At SummerSlam earlier this month, Corbin shocked the world when he defeated Williams for the WWE United States Championship just weeks after his return. The following week, Corbin retained that ******* le against Williams on SmackDown when he blasted Williams with the ******* le belt in classic heel fashion.
With Williams going 0-2 against Corbin but never being pinned cleanly, Corbin was forced to face Williams' manager Lil Yachty at WWE Sunday Night's Main Event. Yachty's goal? Last five minutes in order to get Williams another ******* le match immediately afterward.

Uncrowned has WWE Sunday Night's Main Event live results, match updates, grades, highlights and start time for Sunday's event at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia. For the first time ever, WWE shifts its classic Saturday Night's Main Event show to Sunday, giving it the appropriately and obviously named Sunday Night's Main Event.
The four — potentially five — match card features two heavyweight clashes. The main event is set to feature a rematch between WrestleMania 42 foes Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton. Orton returned last month at SummerSlam to attack Rhodes and cost him his match against CM Punk for the Undisputed WWE Championship. For the better part of two decades, Rhodes and Orton have been linked together as legacy (pun intended) WWE stars. Sunday marks the next chapter in their long-running story.
On the "Raw" side, two of WWE's brightest young talents meet as Oba Femi takes on Bron Breakker. Femi has been the undeniable breakout star of 2026 in WWE, having won the King of the Ring tournament and retiring Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam last month. Femi's rise has irked Breakker, which spawned this rivalry in recent weeks.
Much like the last SNME, back in July, there's a celebrity element to the show, as rapper Lil Yachty faces U.S. Champion Baron Corbin in a match that, if it lasts five minutes, will earn Trick Williams a ***** le shot later that night. Georgia-native Quavo is also advertised for the show.
Here's a look at the full WWE Sunday Night's Main Event card, which airs live at 8 p.m. ET on Peacock:

WWE's roster is deeper than it has been in years, and the booking sheet coming out of SummerSlam shows it. CM Punk is carrying the Undisputed WWE Championship on SmackDown. Roman Reigns holds the World Heavyweight Championship on Raw. Solo Sikoa has become the most over act on either brand. Kevin Owens is back after 17 months away with a neck injury and already has an argument for another ***** le shot.
The problem sits on the other side of the card. Punk and Cody Rhodes at SummerSlam was a battle of a babyface against a babyface. Reigns and Seth Rollins were the same. Sikoa is a babyface, LA Knight is a babyface, and Randy Orton returned as a heel and got cheered anyway. Sami Zayn blasting both Punk and Owens with the ***** le belt in Toronto was the first real attempt to fix that.
So there are plenty of creative changes that can be made soon. With that in mind, we ask about five adjustments that should be considered. Each of these is a decision WWE could make on television inside the next few months. None of them require a signing, a trade, or a budget. They only require someone in the writers' room to pull the trigger.
Sportsnaut answer: No. Not yet.
Alexa Bliss pitched this pairing herself, and she has been open about why it works. Speaking on Busted Open Radio, Bliss described the appeal of the run with Charlotte Flair as getting to see "both of us letting our guards down and having fun." The two held the Women's Tag Team Championships for 100 days and have since added Tatum Paxley to the group on SmackDown, where they are working opposite Jade Cargill, Michin and B-Fab.

WWE stays in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada on this Friday — August 28 — for the latest "WWE SmackDown," following up last week's big CM Punk vs. Kevin Owens world ***** le match. After that match ended in shenanigans, the plan is to sort out the mess tonight.
Taking from SummerSlam Night 2, WWE is effectively running back its surprise Fatal 4-Way No. 1 contender match from that weekend — but as a triple threat, excluding Sami Zayn. After Zayn's complete breakdown that cost Owens the win last week, surely he'll play a part in tonight's match after being left out once again.
The rest of the lineup is all about the women's roster. Interim Women's Champion Chelsea Green is set to return to action after breaking her orbital bone the day after her ***** le win at SummerSlam. She'll team up with Tiffany Stratton to take on The Irresistible Forces.
Tatum Paxley will make her in-ring debut after her thrilling arrival on the main roster at the end of Charlotte Flair's match against Jade Cargill weeks ago. First up for Paxley will be Cargill's henchwoman, Michin. New Women's U.S. Champion Jacy Jayne will also be in action, taking on former Women's Tag Team Champion Paige.
Check out Friday night's full "WWE SmackDown" lineup below, which starts at 8 p.m. ET on USA Network:

Chelsea Green has confirmed that she suffered a broken orbital bone on the August 7 edition of WWE SmackDown, potentially putting her run as the Interim WWE Women's Champion in jeopardy.
Chelsea Green's championship win was one of the unexpected highlights of WWE SummerSlam, with fans excited to see the underdog get this run, even if it was just as an interim champion while the actual WWE Women's Champion, Rhea Ripley, is recovering from a torn meniscus.
On the August 7 episode of SmackDown, Green suffered an injury during her match, which saw her team with Tiffany Stratton against Laney Reid and Fallon Henley of Fatal Influence. The finish saw Chelsea take the Rolling Encore – Reid and Henley's finishing move – and while it looked fine at the time, Bryan Alvarez of Wrestling Observer Radio reported that Reid landed on Green's face, breaking her orbital bone.
Green confirmed the injury the next day on Instagram, saying that she "needed time to process" the injury. She was still wearing the ******* le belt over her shoulder though, and WWE has yet to confirm whether or not Green will be required to vacate the Interim WWE Women's Championship.
An orbital bone injury can vary greatly in severity. It's possible that Green will be able to continue wrestling in a protective mask while the injury heals in 4-8 weeks with no surgery required. However, it can also be far more severe, and could see Green on the shelf for months.

WWE SummerSlam took place this past weekend, with a number of high-profile matches on each show.
Brock Lesnar may have called time on his career after losing to Oba Femi in the main event of Night 1, while Roman Reigns managed to keep hold of his ******* le after picking up the victory over Seth Rollins in Night 2's final clash.
Elsewhere on Sunday, we saw Danhausen face off with Dominik Mysterio in what was called a 'Human Monies On A Pole' match.

Is the "Raw after SummerSlam" a thing? We all know WWE makes a big deal out of the first "Raw after 'Mania," usually setting up a few surprises to mark the occasion. For this year's post-SummerSlam show, they'd already promised at least one big return (quite literally). But wouldn't you know it, there wound up being a few other twists along the road as the show rolled through Des Moines, Iowa.
Here's what went down on this week's installment of pro-wrestling's longest-running show.
Tonight's show kicked off with the WWE World Heavyweight Champion making his way to the ring to bask in the glory of Sunday night's superb victory over Seth Rollins. Is it me or did Roman Reigns sound a little husky at first? (Which is perhaps unsurprising after that slobberknocker of a match from last night.)
Of course, the smart folks in Iowa knew the drill: when a victorious champion turns up to gloat, you just know he or she is going to get interrupted by his next challenger before long. But how many of them expected LA Knight to be the man to shoot his shot? Judging by the massive pop that accompanied the start of his theme music, not many.
"The Megastar" was also riding high on his successes from the weekend, having pinned Jey Uso to win the Babyfaces vs. Bloodline match. He worked his usual magic on the mic and even got a chuckle out of Reigns with his impression of The Shield's entrance music. The fact that Knight was wearing his trademark shades brought back instant memories of the last time these two collided, back at Crown Jewel in 2022.

WWE Hall of Famer Brie Bella revealed that she suffered a broken scapula during her SummerSlam 2026 match and will be sidelined from the ring indefinitely as she recovers.
Bella announced the injury update in a Monday, Aug. 3 Instagram post and noted she will be out "for a bit" without specifying an exact time frame. She was injured during a six-person tag team match featuring her sister, Nikki, and Paige against Fatal Influence during the first night of SummerSlam on Saturday, Aug. 1.
After the event, WWE chief content officer Paul "Triple H" Levesque initially said the injury "seems pretty bad" and Bella had been taken to a local hospital for more examination.

"I wanted to thank you all for sending me all the love, warm wishes and prayers.

If there's one thing I know about my sister and I is that we don't let broken bones stop us. Not sure how I finished that match, but I do believe between the adrenaline, passion for the business and the love for all the women I work with, it gave me the drive to finish. Now my new journey starts!!"

As expected by fans following the third and final match in the trilogy versus Oba Femi, long-time veteran and decorated combat star Brock Lesnar has retired once again, possibly for good, from the WWE ring.
Following one of Lesnar's toughest battles in a ******* in a Cell with rising star Oba Femi, the former WWE & UFC Champion was moved to the "alumni" section on WWE's official website.
In addition to being removed from the active roster, a special video package on Lesnar was posted on WWE's Instagram, featuring the World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns, who thanked the former champion for their time in the ring and also praised Lesnar.

Long-time manager of Brock Lesnar, Paul Heyman, also shared a moment with Oba Femi on Raw as a follow-up on the match. The rising star would ask Heyman to thank Lesnar for their battles together and for dubbing him "the future of WWE" at SummerSlam.

Aug. 3 (UPI) -- Roman Reigns ended his feud with Seth Rollins and Kevin Owens returned in a big way at WWE SummerSlam on Sunday.
Reigns successfully defended his World Heavyweight Championship against Rollins in the main event on Sunday.
The match paid homage to Reigns and Rollins' storied history starting with their time together as iconic group The Shield. Reigns and Rollins performed each other moves and even maneuvers from missing Shield member Dean Ambrose, who now wrestles for AEW as Jon Moxley.
Reigns won the match after he was able to dodge a top rope Stomp from Rollins followed by three Spears to earn the three count. Afterwards, Reigns and Rollins performed the signature Shield fist ****** p in the middle of the ring.
Kevin Owens, who has been out of action for over a year due to injury, was added to the No. 1 contender's match between Sami Zayn and Finn Balor. The bout was turned into a Fatal 4-Way by SmackDown general manager Nick Aldis, who also added Gunther into the mix.

MINNEAPOLIS — In a weekend of wrestling, was WWE able to nail SummerSlam 2026?
WWE's second largest event wrapped at U.S. Bank Stadium on Aug. 1-2 and delivered the signature surprises and returns it has become known for, but it all comes down to whether the overall show was able to live up to the high standard of the event's history.
For the most part, it did. Night one got everything off to a hot start, with night two closing it out in great fashion − even if there were some oddities along the way. Now, it's time to rank and grade all 12 matches of SummerSlam and see how successful the weekend was.
The end of a long rivalry ended in the ultimate fashion. Both stars told the story of their journey to this moment, with several callbacks leading to a captivating battle that kept you on the edge of your seat. They left it all out on the line, and yes, it was a finisher-palooza in the final minutes, but you can't deny this was the perfect main event and perfect way to end a storied legacy. Grade: A
The bar was set high right off the jump in what was a welcoming surprise to the event. Sky is always in her bag, but Morgan really stepped up her game in her first ******* le defense of this reign. The Judgement Day intervention was inevitable and not needed, but it didn't overtake the match. The ending sequence was one of the best finishers of the entire weekend. Grade: A-

MINNEAPOLIS — "What am I?"
That's what Chelsea Green thought going into SummerSlam 2026. In an Interim WWE Women's Championship ladder match full of talent and experience, Green was an outlier, trying to figure out her place.
This is the woman fired from WWE multiple times. The one who was publicly doubted by WWE executives. The one who survived simply off doing everything asked of her, being the ****** of all jokes and taking the brutality of everyone else so they could pass her up the hierarchy of the women's division.
For so long, Green endured just to stay afloat.
On Sunday, Aug. 2, she finally stood above everyone else.

MINNEAPOLIS, MN. -- SummerSlam Sunday has ended, bringing the 2026 edition of the 'Biggest Party of the Summer' to a close. After an incredible night one, the WWE somehow matched its effort from a night ago and surpassed it in some regards.
Let's not waste any time, and get straight into the results from SummerSlam Sunday.
Kevin Owens defeats Sami Zayn, Finn Balor and Gunther to become the No. 1 contender for the WWE Championship
After the amazing opening match between Iyo Sky and Liv Morgan last night, the WWE understood the ******* ignment for tonight's opener. It was supposed to be a singles match between Finn Balor and Sami Zayn, but right before the bell rang, reinstated SmackDown GM Nick Aldis announced he'd be adding a competitor. It was Gunther, the man who defeated Aldis last night. Aldis then let Gunther enter the ring, before he announced one more addition to the match, a returning Kevin Owens. U.S. Bank Stadium absolutely erupted, as the crowd favorite was finally back after over 15 months of dealing with a neck injury.
That energy they gave KO remained for the entirety of this fun match. Owens came out of the gates hot, hitting swanton bombs all over the place, inside the ring and out. The match also saw the long awaited face-off between Sami and Owens who have a long history. The two hugged it out before mutually agreeing it was time to tear each other apart. Possibly the best spot of this match came when Gunther had Sami in the sleeper, and Finn Balor went up and simultaneously hit the Coup de Grace on Sami. Later, after giving stunners out to Balor and Gunther, Kevin and Sami battled it out one last time, when KO delivered a super kick, followed it up with a stunner, and pinned his best friend to earn the number one contendership, much to the delight of the crowd. Michael Cole said it best post match, "Welcome to the KO Show." The upcoming feud between him and CM Punk should be great.

The match also saw the long awaited face-off between Sami and Owens who have a long history. The two hugged it out before mutually agreeing it was time to tear each other apart. Possibly the best spot of this match came when Gunther had Sami in the sleeper, and Finn Balor went up and simultaneously hit the Coup de Grace on Sami. Later, after giving stunners out to Balor and Gunther, Kevin and Sami battled it out one last time, when KO delivered a super kick, followed it up with a stunner, and pinned his best friend to earn the number one contendership, much to the delight of the crowd. Michael Cole said it best post match, "Welcome to the KO Show." The upcoming feud between him and CM Punk should be great.

MINNEAPOLIS — Five years isn't supposed to go by this fast.
As I sat in the press conference room at U.S. Bank Stadium after Night 1 of WWE SummerSlam, watching Paul "Triple H" Levesque answer questions following one of the biggest shows of the year, I couldn't help but think back to another room, another SummerSlam week and another conversation.
It wasn't an arena.
It wasn't a stadium.
It was a ballroom inside the MGM Grand in Las Vegas during the summer of 2021.

Summerslam 2026 rocked U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, Minnesota Saturday night. That six-match card only got us halfway through the event.
The second-biggest WWE premium live event of the year -- in terms of overall length, at least -- continues Sunday evening. That's when four ***** les, including the WWE Women's Championship and the World Heavyweight championship, will be put up for grabs as superstars try to etch their name... well, not quite among the immortals, but in a handful of surprisingly dense Wikipedia biographies.
Night two begins August 2 at 6 p.m. ET and can be found through ESPN Unlimited. As always, this card is subject to change. A (c) next to a competitors name denotes the reigning champion when applicable.
Charlotte Flair vs. Chelsea Green vs. Jade Cargill vs. Tiffany Stratton vs. Giulia or Lash Legend in a ladder match for the Interim WWE Women's Championship
Trick Williams (c) vs. Baron Corbin for the WWE United States Championship

WWE SummerSlam Night 2 is here! After a wild Night 1, WWE returns to U.S. Bank Stadium to close out SummerSlam weekend with a six-match card that features four championship contests.
Closing out the show is the latest meeting between stablemates-turned-rivals Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins. Tonight marks the first singles match since 2022 between Reigns, who has been World Heavyweight Champion since winning in the main event of WrestleMania 42 in April, and Rollins.
A new WWE Women's Champion will also be crowned as Rhea Ripley has been unable to compete due to injury. Charlotte Flair, Jade Cargill, Tiffany Stratton, Chelsea Green and Lash Legend will square off in a ladder match to be named interim champion as Ripley recovers.
Both of WWE's men's midcard championships are on the line as well, as Trick Williams defends his U.S. Championship against the newly returned Baron Corbin and Penta defends his Intercontinental Championship against Chad Gable, who has parlayed his run as El Grande Americano into the most significant momentum he's had as a singles competitor.
The final two matches both have stakes attached, as Finn Balor and Sami Zayn will battle to become the No. 1 content for the Undisputed WWE Championship, and Danhausen and Dominik Mysterio will likely end the Judgment Day's feud with the popular star in a match where the winner gets $100,000 human monies.

MINNEAPOLIS — WWE star Brie Bella suffered a shoulder injury during SummerSlam 2026 and "it seems pretty bad," WWE chief content officer Paul "Triple H" Levesque said Saturday night.
Bella, the WWE Hall of Famer, was injured in the six-person tag team match with sister Nikki and Paige against Fatal Influence during SummerSlam 2026 night one on Aug. 1.
Though nothing is known definitively at this time, it appears Brie Bella was injured when Jacy Jayne did a dive on her against the steel steps on her right shoulder. Bella was holding it for the rest of the match, and even after the loss, when her and her sister turned on Paige, Bella couldn't take part in the attack.
After the event, Levesque confirmed Bella suffered an injury that required her to be taken to a local hospital.
"Don't have a clean answer on it yet. I know she hurt her shoulder. Seems pretty bad, but I don't have that answer yet," he said. "Hopefully we will soon, and hopefully it won't be as bad as we thought it was, but that's the nature of the game.

Brock Lesnar and Oba Femi faced off inside ****** in a Cell at WWE SummerSlam 2026.
Oba Femi defeated Brock Lesnar in a remarkable and memorable main event at WWE SummerSlam 2026 Night 1. The highlight came when Brock Lesnar ripped the ring apart, unveiling the wood holding up the ring. Lesnar delivered a tombstone on Femi, who kicked out and finished off Brock with a Fall from Grace.
The hard-hitting match made use of a table, chairs, steel steps and a ring mat, but not the cell. It was essentially a weapons match surrounded by a cage, but a great one at that. After the match, Brock Lesnar
Oba Femi destroyed Brock Lesnar in their first encounter, which made an already rising Oba Femi into an overnight sensation. Oba Femi's popularity has only increased since then, with the Nigerian Ruler winning the 2026 King of the Ring at WWE Night of Champions. Prior to Oba claiming the crown, Brock Lesnar came out of apparent retirement to attack Oba Femi and get his win back. Lesnar did just that at WWE Clash in Italy after seven F5's in a controversial decision.
WWE overthought its booking of Oba vs. Brock, with Oba foregoing his No. 1 Contender's shot that he earned at King of the Ring to challenge Brock Lesnar inside ****** in a Cell. While Oba will undoubtedly receive a world ****** le shot in the future, it was an awkward choice for the rising star to publicly declare that he was planning to put his world ****** le aspirations on hold to beat Brock Lesnar twice and for all.
