The WWE SummerSlam Battle Royal is set to be one of the most exciting matches of the year, and it will be presented by Slim Jim. Two competitors have already been confirmed for the match, Sheamus and LA Knight, and they will face off in singles action on the upcoming go-home episode of SmackDown. WWE official Adam Pearce has stated that he will finalize the full match lineup for the Battle Royal next week.
While the specifics of what the winner will receive have not been announced, WWE has described the Battle Royal as a “total free-for-all” where Superstars will battle tooth-and-nail for glory. The objective is to throw your opponents over the top rope, with both feet hitting the ringside floor, in order to eliminate them. The last Superstar standing in the squared circle will be declared the winner. Fans can catch all the action of SummerSlam, including the Battle Royal, on Saturday, August 5, at 8 ET/5 PT, streaming live on Peacock in the United States and on WWE Network everywhere else.
