Reigns, a three-time WWE Champion, was handed the title opportunity by Raw General Manager Mick Foley after brawling with Rusev on the August 8 edition of the red brand.
Reigns and Rusev have battled plenty of times in the past, most notably when they made it to the final two of the 2015 Royal Rumble, a match Reigns would go on to win.
Rusev is amid his second reign with the United States Championship, having won back the title by beating Kalisto at the Extreme Rules pay-per-view in May.
The Bulgarian claimed the prize for the first time by defeating Sheamus in November 2014 and went on to hold it for 146 days before losing it to John Cena at WrestleMania 31.
Reigns, who is yet to carry the United States Championship, saw his most recent reign with the WWE Title come to an end at Money in the Bank when he was beaten by Seth Rollins.
Reigns versus Rusev was one of two matches added to the SummerSlam card on Raw, with Chris Jericho and Kevin Owens also accepting Enzo Amore and Big Cass' challenge to a tag-team tussle.
Amore and Big Cass will be facing a man with considerable tag pedigree in Jericho - the veteran is a seven-time tag-team champion with partners including The Rock, Edge, Christian and Big Show.
