CM Punk looks to become a WWE champion again when he takes on Gunther for the world heavyweight title at WWE SummerSlam Night 1 on Saturday. The WWE premium live event will take place at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

Punk won a gauntlet match last month on “Raw” to earn the right to challenge Gunther for the championship.

Night 1 began with former members of The Bloodline, cousins Roman Reigns and Jey Uso, teaming up once again to defeat Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed in a tag team match. Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss came together to defeat Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez. And Tiffany Stratton defended her WWE women’s championship against Jade Cargill.

ESPN combat reporter Andreas Hale is locked in to bring you more highlights and the biggest moments and more from Night 1 of SummerSlam.
