The matches
Lesnar v Orton II - Lesnar won the pair's only other match on WWE's main roster, way back in 2002 - tops a stellar SummerSlam card and both men have proved how dangerous they can be in recent weeks.
After hitting each other with their respective finishing moves - Orton invaded Raw to administer an RKO before Lesnar gatecrashed Smackdown to flatten Orton with an F5 - Lesnar took Heath Slater to Suplex City on the pre-SummerSlam Raw and Orton pulled the One Man Rock Band to Viperville on the pre-SummerSlam Smackdown.
Among SummerSlam's other high-profile bouts are two world title clashes, a Women's Championship dust-up and a grudge match between two veterans of the squared circle.
Ireland's Finn Balor will battle Raw rival Seth Rollins to become the first Universal Champion, having only made his main roster debut less than a month ago after being drafted from WWE's NXT brand.
Plus, Smackdown's top dog, Dean Ambrose, will defend the WWE Title against Dolph Ziggler and WWE Women's Champion Sasha Banks will meet former titlist, Charlotte.
The grudge match? That's between John Cena and AJ Styles, two men with 15-plus years' experience in the ring. Will former Daily Show host Jon Stewart get involved in the scuffle?

What are the Superstars saying?
Sky Sports caught up with WWE Women's Champion Banks and former Intercontinental Champion Kevin Owens ahead of the big event.
Banks also discussed the current boom in women's wrestling, while Owens - who will team with Chris Jericho to take on Enzo Amore and Big Cass on Sunday night - spoke about the "annoying" Sami Zayn, Raw new boy Balor and how he plans to become the face of Raw.
Speaking of faces, Lesnar had a shocked look on his at SummerSlam 2015 as he was hit with a low blow by The Undertaker before passing out while in The Phenom's Hell's Gate move - read our round-up of last year's August extravaganza here.
