SummerSlam is one of the big four pay-per-view events in the WWE calendar year. It’s also been considered to be the second biggest event for the company which in general is presented in a huge way possible, promising some great moments to happen. The anticipation is much bigger as WWE plans to go home with this year’s edition with fans returning to attendance.
As reported earlier, WWE will return to live touring from July 16 onwards with their Raw and Smackdown roster. SummerSlam pay-per-view falls within the schedule in August which is especially rumored to be a huge one where the likes of Brock Lesnar could make his return. The event is also expected to feature the in-ring return of John Cena and WWE Hall Of Famer Edge.
