Jack Swagger and Rusev will lock horns at SummerSlam in a Flag Match.

WWE SUMMERSLAM

1am, Sun (Mon), Aug 17
Live on Sky Sports Box Office

The Real American and The Hero of the Russian Federation have been enemies for months and with one victory each, the grapplers will settle their score in Los Angeles on August 17.

The American flag will be hanging in one corner of the ring with the Russian flag hovering above another, and the winner will be the man who grabs his country’s emblem first.

Rusev defeated Swagger in the pair’s initial meeting, registering a count-out victory over the former World Heavyweight Champion at Battleground by shoving his skull into the ring post and watching him fail to return to the squared circle before the referee reached 10.

However, the Oklahoman equalised on a recent episode of Main Event, collecting a disqualification victory after The Super Athlete opted to jab Zeb Colter’s charge in the stomach with a flag pole.

The scene is now set for a belting SummerSlam dust-up, so make sure you watch the powerhouses collide - and their managers, Colter and Lana, bark orders at ringside.

SummerSlam will be shown live on Sky Sports Box Office and Sky Sports HD Box Office at 1am, on Sunday (Monday) August 17, with repeat programmes available until the following Saturday.
