The list of participants:

  • Erik

  • Rick Boogs
  • Otis

  • Ludwig Kaiser
  • Giovanni Vinci
  • Ridge Holland
  • Butch

  • Tommasso Ciampa
  • Apollo Crews
  • L.A. Knight
  • Santos Escobar

Knight and Sheamus were the first two stars to be revealed for the match. As of the preshow, no stakes were given for the SummerSlam Battle Royal, with no indication of what the winner might receive. Slim Jim is now a "multi-layered" partner with WWE. More Slim Jim branding is expected across premium live events, including Survivor Series, Royal Rumble, and WrestleMania 40.
