WrestleMania SummerSlam at a glance

WWE SummerSlam takes place tonight, August 21 at Allegiant Stadium, Las Vegas, Nevada.

The event begins with a pre-show at 7pm ET (12am BST, 9am AEST on Sunday August 22), with the main card getting underway an hour later at 8pm ET (1am BST / 10am AEST).

Tonight's event consists of the star-studded lineup that many have come to expect from the party of the summer. Bianca Belair and Sasha Banks will be battling for the SmackDown Women’s Championship, but the show will also see the likes of Edge, Nikki A.S.H., Rhea Ripley and Omos putting in an appearance as well. Of course, the headline act will be Cena vs Reigns, with the legendary fighter returning to rid Roman of his Universal Championship title.

Cena's first steps back in the ring since 2020 will kickstart a whole night of legendary acts. Bobby Lashley was looking particularly happy with himself after a win over Keith Lee on July's WWE RAW, only for Goldberg to swan in with all his WCW, WWE World, and Universal Champion titles and step up to the plate.

Tonight's show is set to showcase some of WWE's biggest names, so you won't want to miss a second of the action. We're showing you everything you need to know about how to watch WrestleMania SummerSlam from anywhere in the world.

ExpressVPN | Try 100% risk free for 30 days
If you're away from home during the wrestling event and worried about missing out on your WWE SummerSlam live stream, a VPN is your best option for tuning in.

These handy systems are 'Virtual Private Networks', and enable you to appear online as if you are somewhere else entirely. This method gives you a way to get around any geographical restrictions, so you can access all of your favorite streaming services just as if you were at home. We'd argue that ExpressVPN is the best VPN to go with, and is perfect for a WWE SummerSlam live stream.

There are three simple steps to follow:

1: Get a VPN installed. There are plenty of options, but we'd point you in the direction of ExpressVPN. There's even an offer on right now where you can get an additional three months FREE on a 12-month package and save 49%. Happily, ExpressVPN is also compatible with pretty much every device you can think of too.

2: Connect to an appropriate server. Select a server located back in your home country and you'll be in and away. And if there's any sniff of an issue, Express's handy 24/7 live chat customer support can come to your rescue.

3: Head over to the service you want. Here you can shop as normal and once you set your location, visit the service you're interested in and sign up as normal or log in, and start watching. And if you don't get along with it, you can always cancel without issue within 30 days and get a full refund. Easy!
