Looking at this card, man they f***ing stacked Sunday’s card. Street fight, no DQ, TLC, and steel cage on Sunday. I would hate if I bought tickets for Saturday lol. It feels like this SummerSlam weekend is kind of the perfect encapsulation of that Mick Foley quote about wrestling being a three-ring circus with enough variety so everyone can enjoy the show. Saturday offers celebrity spectacle, larger-than-life personalities, and storylines you can sink your teeth into, but it's also bound to provide plenty in the way of what's sure to be solid in-ring professional wrestling. Sunday, like Saturday, will have recognizable names to lapsed fans or newcomers, but it also should provide the kind of in-ring chaos and carnage that wrestling was sort of built on. On the surface, Sunday is absolutely the better of the two cards, but come Monday morning, we could be looking back at CM Punk vs. Gunther as the match of the weekend. I guess that is true as Gunther vs Punk and Jey/Roman teaming up are big time money matches. I just think they could have switched one of the gimmick matches to Saturday for a little variety.

Yeah his US passport is at home in the States, and apparently for security reasons the US doesn't let people with dual citizenship reenter the country presenting a non US passport. Drew probably didn't know that because no other country would do that. Looks like The Miz is replacing Drew. They can go with The Miz in the match, if Drew cant get back, or Drew can take The Miz out pre-match if he is able to get back. Hopefully they give Miz something for his troubles.

The set construction had to be halted due to weather, but it should be ready to go by tomorrow

Replacing Drew with the Miz would be like trading a Hawaiian vacation for a bed in a cancer ward.

The set construction had to be halted due to weather, but it should be ready to go by tomorrow WWE's insane luck with weather at outdoor shows is forecast to continue this weekend. With the exception of the first night of WrestleMania 37, they've had incredible weather every time they've held a show outdoors. Had SummerSlam been held just four days earlier, it would be in the middle of a terrible heat wave in which temperatures reached into the high 90s and high humidity made it feel even worse. Had it been two days earlier, the show would've gotten soaked by a heavy rainstorm that lashed the area. Instead, they're looking at clear to partly cloudy skies, temperatures in the 70s, and no humidity to speak of for Saturday and Sunday evenings.

Completely forgot SummerSlam was this weekend, thought it was next week. Thankfully I'll be home to watch, miss being in the live threads.

I’m the type of WWE sicko that they make a three hour preshow for. It’s also Saturday and I have nothing to do lol.
Way more excited for tmmw night but I care about opening and main event tonight so hoping the middle part of the show can surprise me.

A three hour pre-show. Surely they can add a pre-show match with three hours to fill!
Come on HHH...what if I told you you can sell add space on the backs of the pre-show wrestlers 😂

Come on HHH...what if I told you you can sell add space on the backs of the pre-show wrestlers 😂 Surely with WWE Speed probably no longer a thing they can have speed matches on the pre-show and not confined to just being on a social media platform. What's that? No? Ok.

Personally I like the college game day feel of a preshow way more than pointless preshow matches imo.
But I’m somebody who likes watching preshows for sport events.

Will Roman wrestle barefoot since his shoes were stolen?

Disappointingly, no actual shot of Cheatum in that package, just the bomb he planted
