Don your finest jean shorts, your brightest t-shirt and as many armbands as possible, because it's looking like the summer of Cena. We've got a Universal Championship showdown for the ages on the cards, as the Head of the Table Roman Reigns faces down the 16-time World Champion, the one and only John Cena, back in action for the first time since WrestleMania 36. Read on as we explain how to watch a SummerSlam live stream, wherever you are in the world - with Peacock TV giving US viewers a way to watch absolutely FREE!

Live stream SummerSlam 2021

Date: Saturday, August 21

Time: 8pm ET / 5pm PT / 1am BST / 10am AEST

Venue: Allegiant Stadium, Paradise, Nevada

Free live stream: Peacock free trial (US) 

Watch anywhere: try the No. 1 rated VPN 100%  risk-free 

It took no time at all for Cena to get the fans behind him as he poured scorn over what he described as the "pathetic Roman Reigns experience" during his surprise, show-stealing appearance at Money in the Bank, and The Big Dog will not want to go out with a whimper in front of a capacity crowd at Allegiant Stadium. 

And there are five more belts on the line. Nikki A.S.H. faces the dual threat of former champions Charlotte Flair and Rhea Ripley, as she defends her opportunistically taken Raw Women's title for the first time.

Hall of Famer Goldberg has made the potentially foolish decision to step into the ring with The All Mighty Bobby Lashley for the WWE Championship, the Usos and Mysterios face off for the SmackDown Tag Team Championship, and Bianca Belair seeks revenge against Sasha banks in the SmackDown Women's Championship. 

And that's not all, with Sheamus, Damian Priest, Edge and Seth Rollins also in action. It's a mouthwatering lineup, so read on for the full SummerSlam 2021 card and all you need to know to watch a WWE live stream online from anywhere.
