It's the second most important show of the year, after Wrestlemania! The card looks pretty drat good.

Pre-Show:5pm - 7pm EDT
SummerSlam7pm - 11pm with possible overrun


Brock & Randy both needed something to do, so they're having a match! It might be the main event! :confuoot:


The first ever match for the newly created WWE Universal Title! Match will probably be awesome and hopefully the new belt doesn't look like total poo poo.


Dean Ambrose gets a fluff opponent to (probably) add legitimacy to his title reign.


This one should have a clean finish so you know what that means. It will very likely be a very good match.


The Guy is slumming it in the midcard as punishment for his failed PED test as WWE hopes to rehab his heat to push him right back to the main event!


Sasha's first defense with Dana banned from ringside. Could be good if Charlotte pulls her weight.


Penis joke.


Who will get "it?" This should be a fun and good match.


:geno: Who gives a poo poo about this match.


Will it be a handicap match or will someone replace Eva Marie? No one loving knows! This will be your pissbreak.


Uh, sure I guess waste 15 minutes on this, when the card has 13 matches.


1 of 3 kickoff matches, and the 1st in a best of 7 series. Someone replace ADR in the SheamusvsADR.jpg pic.


Sami Zayn gets rewarded for his MOTYC with KO with a... preshow tag team match against the Dudleyz. Hoo boy. :jerkbag:


Sure let's do this match again that was just on Smackdown, probably with the same winners. Sure.

That's SummerSlam! In case you missed it, this card has 13 matches! It will be at least 6 hours if you're a weirdo who watches all of the Preshow and not just the matches. It will probably have an overrun due to John Stewart's dumb segment. The wrestling will probably be very good. The jury is out on the booking. Something out of the ordinary has been happening at SummerSlam the last several years, what surprises await us? Can SummerSlam live up to Takeover: Brooklyn II?

I really care about the outcomes of Sasha/Charlotte, Finn/Seth, and for some reason Ambrose/Ziggler.

Maybe it's the brand split, but I feel totally disconnected from a lot of this card. But I'm settling in for 18 straight hours of Summerslam coverage anyway

The people were ASTONISHED at his doctrine.

Wait, they're really giving 15 minutes to Jon Stewart when nearly everyone I love is on the Preshow?

This company sometimes, I swear.

Should be a cool PPV, though. Like Wrestlemania 32-II: The Apology, almost.

Dean/Dolph has the best build-up of any match on this show. Excited for Dean's Really Good title reign to continue.

that show was great last night and yeah, if you need to watch 6+ hours of wwe for some reason it's a way better idea than the pre-show
