Imagine learning a year ago that the main events for SummerSlam would be Finn Balor vs Seth Rollins & Dean Ambrose vs Dolph Ziggler. Dude, imagine that two days ago.

A lot of people don't like the idea of Dolph getting a shot at Ambrose and the WWE Championship, but I think it's a great idea. The match will not be the main event. It will be the 3rd match from the top after Orton/Lesnar & Balor/Rollins, and maybe 4th, if they do Cena/Styles. So, they might as well as just throw Ziggler into the spot. At least we are guaranteed a really good if not great match. So, I don't mind it. Then, once the brand gets established, we can get a more serious contender for Backlash, as the main event.

I agree, Ziggler is a great choice. He's still one of my favs, so it was a mark out moment to see him win that title shot.

This card could end up being just as good on paper as Takeover Brooklyn this year. Which seems surreal to say but we could end up having two supercards cards from both brands this year

As a longtime Dolph fan, I'm much more excited about him in his WWE title match than Finn in his. I feel like Dolph's time is long gone. Between him and Dean, I'm completely torn over who I want to win.

I'm interested in all of the matches announced so far, sans Ambrose/Ziggler.
If they put the damn title back on Charlotte, I'm gonna lose my mind.

Is the show going to be 4 hours again this year?
Some other matches I could see happening:
AJ Styles v Cena (obviously) Reigns v Owens Rusev v Zayn Miz v Crews New Day v Gallows & Anderson
Just spitballing atm should be interesting to see where everyone fits in and this is not including Jericho, Wyatt, Shelton, America Alpha, Rhyno, Enzo & Cass, Corbin etc. Could be a stacked card talent wise.

I would have preferred they keep the Women's Championship on Charlotte until SummerSlam. Hotshotting the title to Sasha Banks on a random episode of Raw felt like one of those bad booking decisions WCW used to make, where they were so desperate for ratings that they'd hotshot a world championship match with zero build. The fans have been clamoring for Sasha to win the Women's Championship since the Divas Revolution started last summer. I think they would have been wise to wait another few weeks and do it at SummerSlam. Now, the match has an aura of inevitability to it. There's no way Charlotte retains the title, the match is a foregone conclusion.
Meanwhile, another decision I was hoping they would have made would have been Enzo and Cass taking on The New Day for the Tag Team Championship. Enzo and Cass are among the most over superstars on either roster, so it should be time for them to have gold around their waists. Meanwhile, Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows are stale white bread with a side of lukewarm tap water. They were boring when they were linked to A.J. Styles, now that they're on their own, they're simply generic bald villain X and generic bald villain Y. Nothing about them is interesting or exciting, yet they appear to be the no. 1 contenders for the Tag Team Championship at the second-biggest show of the year.

With the card as it is right now this PPV could be just as bad if not worse than this years WM I am actually looking forward to it more than I was for Mania. Balor VS Rollins should be awesome. Ambrose VS Ziggler could be great, Sasha VS Charlotte could be good if they get more time than they had on Raw. Orton VS Lesnar could be OK, so I can't wait for SummerSlam and that's only 4 matches announced with many more to take place in those 4 hours.

Is the show going to be 4 hours again this year? I think so, because advertising for the show mentions a "special start time" of 7 PM. And that doesn't include the countdown show, or a possible overrun.

That was one of the most miserable slogs of a show I've ever seen and at all turns appeared like they were intentionally trying to make it terrible.
