Summer Slam is Just One of the WWE’s’Big Four’ PPV events along with Royal Rumble, Survivor Series and Wrestlemania.
It’s possibly the second or third most significant event of the year behind only Wrestlemania and maybe the Royal Rumble. The very first Summer Slam was held at Madison Square Garden in 1988 headlined by a tag team match involving’The Mega Powers’ (Hulk Hogan and Randy Savage) vs.’The Mega Bucks’ (who were sadly not the Young Bucks but Ted DiBiase and Andre the Giant). Jesse’The Body’ Ventura was the special referee for this match. The principal event of last year’s Summer Slam was considerably better than the’Mega v. Mega’ tag group trainwreck at the very first incarnation of the event. At Summer Slam 2017 the Primary event featured Brock Lesnar defending his Universal Championship at a’Fatal 4-Way’ contrary to Braun Strowman, Roman Reigns and Samoa Joe. The match earned a 4??3/4 star rating from Dave Meltzer. It’s very probable that Lesnar’s Universal Title defense will once more proceed as the main event, now in a singles match against Roman Reigns.
In the last few years, the WWE has made Brooklyn’s Barclays Center arena the de facto home of the Summer Slam event. This will be the fourth successive Summer Slam held in the home of the NBA New Jersey Nets and (for today at least) that the NHL New York Islanders. It must be said that prior to this conduct of Summer Slam reveals in Brooklyn the event called Los Angeles’ Staples Center home for six successive years from 2009 to 2014.
Since we’re still 3 weeks out from Summer Slam 2018 there’s every reason to think that this card is subject to change. For all we know, it could end up being a’Turkey on a Pole Match’ for the Universal Title. In light of the near certainty for changes and addition to this card we’ll call our’opening odds’. As we get closer to the event we will add some props and update the amounts on every game on the card.
