SummerSlam 2023 looks all set to be a memorable one for wrestling fans, and we’ve got all the information you need to stream the event from anywhere. Let’s get started!
How to Stream WWE SummerSlam 2023 Worldwide
NBC is the exclusive home for WWE PPV events in the US, so fans looking to stream SummerSlam will need to grab a Peacock TV subscription. Peacock also carries other sports, such as the 2023/24 Premier League as well as the FIFA Women’s World Cup, just to start.
Peacock TV has two monthly subscription packages:
- Peacock Premium (with ads): $4.99 a month
- Peacock Premium Plus (no-ads): $9.99 a month
Not in the United States? Well, platforms like Peacock geo-restrict their content libraries and live streams. If you’re outside the country, you can use a VPN like NordVPN to change your IP address and catch SummerSlam 2023 in any part of the world.
We prefer NordVPN for live streaming WWE events — and a bunch of other sports — thanks to its reliable servers in the United States. The service works great with Peacock TV. We’ve regularly used NordVPN to access Peacock and we’ve always gotten great speeds without any lags or buffering trouble.

How to Watch WWE SummerSlam For Free
If you’re not looking to subscribe to a streaming service, some fans opt for free streaming websites that are likely to carry SummerSlam for free. These sites could have invasive pop-ups and trackers, so we recommend using a VPN to keep you protected if you decide to go down that route.
You might also wind up on unsecured domains with unverified streams, so a VPN can protect you from hackers and other third parties interested in your online traffic and data.
Though it may not be our preferred option, it certainly is a popular one.

WWE SummerSlam 2023: What to Expect
SummerSlam is one of the WWE’s biggest yearly events. In fact, it is widely considered the second most important WWE PPV after WrestleMania. This year’s event will feature several matches based on storylines that have been in the works since April.
More recent feuds, such as Logan Paul vs. Ricochet, and Rhonda Rousey vs. Shayna Baszler, will round out the card. Both matches should bring a lot of eyeballs, thanks to the big names involved.
Paul vs. Ricochet promises to deliver its share of viral, high-flying action, while Rousey and Baszler have the potential to put on a technical showcase for purists.
Tribal Combat between Roman Reigns and Jey Uso
The headlining match goes back even beyond events post-WrestleMania 39. The slow breakdown of The Bloodline has been one of the most compelling story arcs in recent pro wrestling history. Roman Reigns has held the undisputed Universal Title for nearly 1,100 days, a feat that would seem impossible considering the demands and schedules of the modern era.
However, he will face a challenge to his belt and the title of Tribal Chief when he squares off against his cousin, “Main Event” Jey Uso. This one has been branded a Tribal Combat match, which means no disqualifications and anything goes. Naturally, we expect weapons like steel chairs, kendo sticks, and tables to be heavily involved.
Lesnar vs. Rhodes Rubber Match
Brock Lesnar and Cody Rhodes began their rivalry on the night after WrestleMania when The Beast Incarnate launched an unprovoked attack on The American Nightmare. Since then, both WWE superstars have split wins, with Lesnar coming out victorious last time at Night of Champions.
Rhodes has become one of the company’s top faces since his return last year, and a win over Lesnar would certainly catapult him to new heights.
Triple Threat Women’s Title Match
The Women’s title match has three of the biggest names in the game: the champ Asuka, Charlotte Flair, and Bianca Belair. All three women are fan favorites and have hugely impressive resumés. Flair has held WWE gold more times than any other female competitor (14), while Asuka and Bianca have had a back-and-forth rivalry going back to before WrestleMania.
Rollins vs. Bálor Rivalry Continues
Seth Rollins and Finn Bálor are set to face off once again for the World Heavyweight Championship. Though Rollins got the win over his rival at Money in the Bank in July, Bálor continued to target the champ in the weeks to follow.
Both wrestlers will also have an axe hanging over their heads, as Bálor’s stablemate Damien Priest — who holds the Money in the Bank briefcase — may get involved at some point. Bálor and Priest have recently had some tension between them, and even interfered in each other’s title fights over the last month. Fans tuning in could potentially witness a Money in the Bank cash-in.
