I guess Taker/Brock is all but set, given last night and the two's placement on the poster posted above. Question is, will they add Sting once they confirm him for the show?

On a scale of 1 to 10 how smarky will the crowd be for SummerSlam?

Bray just can't wait any longer for that Subway and is now begging for it to get there on time.

Also gotta point out how WWE hates Undertaker's hair game apparently.
Whenever they put him on posters or whatever it's always long hair Taker. Even after he had the buzzcut for like 3 years.

The Money in the Bank is still for "Any Title" right? Sheamus cashes in on Cena after Owens thrashes Cena and gets blindsided before getting the pinfall. MITB has always been for the world titles.

I like that they are really pushing SummerSlam as the second-biggest show of the year. It is not on, nor should it be on, WrestleMania's level, but it is clearly defined as the next most important pay-per-view of the calendar year. Hopefully within a few years they decide to give it a try at some outdoor venues. For example, SummerSlam at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx or Citi Field in Queens would provide a great visual and would only further emphasize how it is the biggest show of the summer.

Considering their match at WrestleMania XXX made me recall the notorious Muhammad Ali vs. Larry Holmes fight from 1980 and left me seriously contemplating whether Undertaker should ever wrestle another match, consider me less than excited at the prospects of a rematch between 'Taker and Brock Lesnar.
That said, there are smoke-and-mirrors ways of making the match passable, namely in making it an all-out brawl, no-holds-barred type of match in which the two spend the duration of the match just lobbing the hardest shots imaginable at one another.

Time to start predicting the card:
Brock Lesnar vs. The Undertaker Seth Rollins vs. John Cena for the WWE Title Roman Reigns, Dean Ambrose, & *Spoiler* vs. The Wyatt Family Rusev & Summer Rae vs. Dolph Ziggler & Lana Ryback vs. The Big Show for the IC Title Diva War Tag Thingy Kevin Owens vs. Cesaro for the vacant US Title

I really wish WWE could get Bram from TNA and stick him with the Family (Wyatts makes no sense, there is one Wyatt and he has two family members). Let him be the monster in the closet that Bray was even fearful of using because of the destruction he brings.
Maybe send Christian back in a trade.

I mean they had Bram and then let him go because he got arrested and lied about it or something. Naturally TNA was like "What?! Kenneth Cameron is available?! Sign him now!"

They must be worth something!

Based on on the brawl last night, I think that's exactly the direction they're going in, and I actually think it'll be pretty decent

They're a terrible matchup, Undertaker needs a broomstick worker because he literally has nothing left far as wrestling goes, and Brock Lesnar needs someone who can be thrown around and take abuse. You can argue it doesn't really matter if the match is something Billy Madison would set on fire on your doorstep, but that's what it's gonna be.
