Just in case we don’t have enough. We are less than two weeks away from Summerslam and that means we need to finish wrapping up the card. So far WWE has announced nine matches for the card, which will take place over the usual four hour time slot, plus a one hour Kickoff Show. In theory that will mean most of the card is set, though there are more matches rumored for the show.
According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, there are four matches which are likely to be added to the card. Most of these matches have been teased on the main wrestling shows and there is a chance that these will be added in the final week of television. In addition to this, various other matches that have been teased for the show could be added, though they were not on the internal WWE card. Here are matches still scheduled to be announced:
Roman Reigns vs. Daniel Bryan
Women’s Tag Team Titles: IIconics(c) vs. Kabuki Warriors vs. Sonya Deville/Mandy Rose vs. Alexa Bliss/Sonya Deville
Cruiserweight Title: Drew Gulak (c) vs. Oney Lorcan
Drew McIntyre vs. Cedric Alexander
They’ve done this before. Check out McIntyre vs. Alexander on Monday Night Raw:
Opinion: This card is going to be rather long and I’m not sure how well they’re going to be able to fill in this much in the time they have. If all of these matches are added without anything else, we are looking at a thirteen match card in five hours. That isn’t leaving a lot of time for a lot of the matches themselves and it’s going to become a problem. WWE has never learned that before, so expect a longer show than advertised.
Which of these matches sounds best? What should be left off of the card? Let us know in the comments below.
