A draft, a new world title, new roster debuts, returns for Foley and Bryan in Authority positions and Orton Vs Lesnar isn't enough for you? Maybe if they did something interesting like a Foley heel turn.

A huge post Summerslam debut could remedy this situation. What situation exactly needs a remedy here?

The last time there was a "big summer storyline" was the rise of Daniel Bryan.

It's probably Brock and Randy I guess. Summerslam looks to be a great card in ring wise at least. You could also argue the draft I guess, but the first one was a bigger deal. I think this was going to be a bigger deal until all the USADA stuff came out. It now seems they are selling the show to their own audience, but aren't trying to make a huge mainstream angle out of it.

No. This has always been a myth. I mean yes in that WWE wants a big match for their second biggest show of the year, but no in that it's not always this big angle that takes over the entire company and profoundly changes the way things are done. I mean, look at the big angles/matches from SummerSlam and it's clear that they want eyes on it (they certainly don't book a filler main event). In spoilers are the big matches of the last 20 years of SummerSlam: {Spoiler}2016: Lesnar/Orton 2015: Lesnar/Taker 2014: Lesnar/Cena 2013: Cena/Bryan + Lesnar/Punk 2012: Lesnar/Triple H 2011: Punk/Cena II 2010: WWE/Nexus 2009: Return of DX + Cena/Orton + Punk/Hardy 2008: Cena/Batista 2007: Return of Triple H 2006: DX/McMahons 2005: Hogan/Michaels 2004: Trashcan/Orton 2003: WHC Elimination Chamber + Angle/Lesnar 2002: Rock/Lesnar 2001: WWE vs. The Alliance 2000: Rock/Angle/Triple H 1999: Austin/Mankind/Triple H 1998: Austin/Undertaker 1997: Undertaker/Hart 1996: Michaels/Vader Two things you can take away: - The years with these "big summer angles" are usually the years where there isn't some massive main event that you can sell SummerSlam with (you can't really sell WWE veterans vs. new guys without doing some kind of angle). - Brock Lesnar is pretty much always the main event of SummerSlam (or co-main at the very least).
