The WWE’s annual “biggest party of the summer”, SummerSlam, might go the way in which of WrestleMania by turning into a full weekend occasion.
WWE’s SummerSlam occasion was stuffed with surprises, with betrayal and returns that made for simply the type of dynamic storying that has been in full impact ever since Vince McMahon was compelled out. Despite the fact that there have been solely seven matches, the occasion was stacked to say the least. So, might the WWE develop SummerSlam right into a two-night occasion like they did with WrestleMania? Present CCO Paul “Triple H” Levesque thinks it’s doable. Now, we simply have one query for the WWE Universe: Are…You…Prepared???
As Triple H mentioned throughout a post-SummerSlam press convention, he can see not solely the demand for a two-night occasion but additionally the need. “Who knows what the future brings? But I do think that, even tonight, seeing this SummerSlam seven-match card goes almost four hours, and yet there was a lot of stuff we could have put into this. Some people say, ‘Well, why wasn’t that in there?’ Well, because it would have been eight hours, and you still need stuff for Raw, you still need content for SmackDown. You still need all that stuff. As we continue to grow, we’ll take it step by step. So is this is the last SummerSlam that you see that is one night? I think so, but we’ll see where that goes long-term. I’m excited about that opportunity.”
Like WrestleMania, SummerSlam is among the “big four” in WWE dwell occasions, alongside with January’s Royal Rumble and November’s Survivor Collection. Personally, I feel if any might work as a two-night occasion it could be Royal Rumble, particularly since there have been two rumbles — a males’s and a ladies’s — since 2018, these matches alone taking over round two hours of airtime. Then once more, with that being so near April’s WrestleMania, which went to the two-night format in 2020. As such, maybe SummerSlam — traditionally held in August — could be the most effective of the lot to develop the format for.
This previous weekend’s SummerSlam had numerous notable matches and happenings, with Dominik Mysterio turning on Rhea Ripley, CM Punk again to in-ring motion and the return of Roman Reigns, who had been on hiatus since WrestleMania XL.
Do you suppose SummerSlam is worthy of two nights or ought to or not it’s stored at one? Lay the smackdown on us within the feedback part under!
