Check back soon for more details on SummerSlam!

Hmm... looks like John Cena has been spending too much time with Eugene... :lol:

I think it's a bit early for summerslam thread to come up.

Anywho I see mostly heels winning at this PPV

IMO, we should of waited until after GAB for this thread, but that's no my decision.

Unless this PPV's lineup looks awesome and free of possible flaws, I'm not going to be ordering it. Of course WWE can ruin just about anything these days, but if the show looks good I'll give it a chance considering it's one of the big ones.

I thought the general rule was when WWE.com, TNAwrestling or ROH Wrestling posted up their PPV pages or event pages we were supposed to post them but OK.

Summerslam is pretty much like most WWE PPVs, it has all the makings to be a hit or a flop, depending on the flow of Creative. SSM isn't looking to sweet IMO, Hogan/Orton should be very slow, Cena/Edge should be reptitive, I would like to see what ECW can draw up though...

It mgiht be, I'm not sure. I'm not complaining or anything, just making a general observation on my part. I honestly don't know the rule about PPV threads.

naw. we had the Summerslam 05 thread going all summer last year even before the HBK heel turn i think. it was a huge success and was our biggest ppv thread ever.

Well there's the answer, all part of being one of the newest officers in the union. I'm sure it is good to have it up ASAP for the big 4 PPV's as you said.

I think this year's SummerSlam is going to be pretty big. I'm looking foward to it. I'm sure we'll see John Cena vs. Edge in some sort of gimmick match in-which Lita cannot get involved to end the feud once and for all.

Hell in a Cell. :roll: That's one stipulation that gets too overused...

Edge vs. Cena again for like the 10000000000000th time, with Cena "overcoming the odds" and winning. How creative... :roll:hatecena

KevyR

Obviously I'm biased x1,000,000, but am I the only one who would love to see Edge win cleanly? I know it'll never happen, but maybe they could make it a TLC match where he would have an advantage cause of his prior experience. I guess as long as Edge wins, it's good enough though. I'd also mark out hard if he got rid of Lita - I want to see him do his energetic entrance again and he could be a little more angry if he didn't have her with him.

Freaza

You may be surpirsed, but about 90% of the active people here HATE Cena and would love to see Edge go over Cena cleanly.

I'd actually like to see a Benjamin/Edge fued with Edge winning (I aint gonna ruin Benjamin early on :P).

A Cena/Benjamin fued would be better. It would help Shelton possibly find a new direction and keep Cena away form the WWE title

Well, 1/2 of the main event has been revealed, or should I say made official, since it should hardly comes as a surprise to anyone unless you've been living under a rock all year:

Lately things haven't been going well for John Cena. Ever since Edge caused him to lose to the WWE Championship at ECW's One Night Stand, it seems the Rated-R Superstar has had Cena's number. Most recently, Edge distracted John Cena in his match against Umaga allowing the Samoan Bulldozer hit the Dr. of Thuganomics with the destructive Samoan Spike. The following week, Lita got Edge disqualified in his match against Cena by slapping the referee across the face. Cena may have gotten the win, but Edge was able to keep his championship. The WWE Championship will be on the line when Cena and Edge meet at SummerSlam. However, this time if Cena wins, even by disqualification, he will win the championship as well. Will Cena finally be able to kill the Rated-R Superstar streak?WWE.com

Man, and people got sick of Joe-Styles-Daniels :roll:. 

We've seen this match so many times this year, I'd really prefer to see both men feud elsewhere.  They are generally good for a solid, but unspectacular match and I doubt we'll see any different at Summerslam.

The least they could have done was throw in a better stipulation.

The build-up towards Summerslam sure is developing greatly and there is still a good three weeks or so to evolve it.

One of the programmes I am really looking forward to is the feud between Flair and Foley. It's been charismatic thus far but it has been progressing positively. As much as I'd like to hear more Foley promos, I think we're going to see a bit more physicality erupt between the two shortly. I feel it is fairly obvious the two are going to have a match at Sumemrslam, the stipulation also seems apparent, but nevertheless, with the history between Flair and Foley, this is a big money programme and I can only hope it reflects during their match.

I'll give you foley but Flair's promos were just meh IMHOKotenks

I agree. I don't see why Foley is the heel in this, as I agree with everything he says and just make Flair look like an idiot coming out screaming and calling Foley "fat boy". Flair's are still good though.

Two more matches officially added:

The lengthy rivalry between WWE Champion Edge and former Champion John Cena will come to a head when the two meet for the WWE Championship at SummerSlam. Despite a healthy hatred between the two, the rivalry has consistently centered over the coveted WWE Championship.

Their first encounter for the gold was at New Year’s Revolution. On that night, John Cena successfully defended his Championship in a brutal Elimination Chamber Match against five other men, only to be greeted by Edge, who wisely chose to cash in his Money in the Bank contract for the right to face an exhausted and wounded Cena for the Championship. The ensuing match was brief, with Edge putting the finishing touches on an already worn down Cena, spearing the bloodied and battered Chain Gang leader and recording the pin to secure his first WWE Championship.

Edge’s first championship reign, however, was cut short when Cena recaptured the gold at the Royal Rumble. Edge was unable to regain the championship in subsequent rematches and found himself out of the hunt until after Backlash, when he once again found himself squaring off with Cena for the Championship. The match was a Triple Threat Match, including both Cena and Edge, and a third challenger, Triple H. While there was a third participant, the result was the same, as Cena again successfully defended his gold.

After Backlash, Cena’s focus turned towards ECW’s One Night Stand, where he was defending his Championship against Rob Van Dam. While the saga between Cena and Edge appeared to have been put to the rest, at One Night Stand, Edge proved that the rivalry was anything but over. The Rated-R Superstar interfered in the match, spearing Cena and opening the door for Van Dam to hit the Five-Star Frogsplash and win the Championship.

Several weeks later, Edge, Cena and Van Dam met in a Triple Threat for the Championship on RAW. On that night, Edge became a two-time WWE Champion when he pinned Rob Van Dam to claim victory.

Since then, the rivalry between Cena and Edge has only grown. The competitors met for the Championship at Saturday Night’s Main Event and Cena appeared poised to secure the victory but Lita had other plans, assaulting the referee and forcing a disqualification, allowing the gold to remain around Edge’s waist.

At SummerSlam however, if Lita tries to get involved, she and Edge will pay the price. Unlike normal WWE rules, at SummerSlam, the Championship can change hands on a disqualification.

Will Cena be able to regain the Championship, or will Edge continue to make this an R Rated Summer? Don't miss SummerSlam, Aug. 20 at 8/7 CT on pay-per-view to find out.

After reuniting in June, D-Generation X has enjoyed embarrassing Mr. McMahon at Vengeance, Saturday Night’s Main Event and numerous times on RAW. Shawn Michaels and Triple H have belittled WWE’s Chairman in a variety of ways, including some of the most foul and heinous (not to mention, hilarious) pranks imaginable.

But lately the tides have turned, and DX is no longer smiling. First, Umaga took advantage of Triple H’s absence at RAW and dismantled HBK with a sneak attack. Then, after seeing how well it worked the first time they were separated, Mr. McMahon implemented a plan to divide and conquer his adversaries — and it worked again.

Planting contraband in Triple H’s possession, he alerted the police about The Game’s crime. Facing imprisonment or the chance to voluntarily go in for questioning, Triple H took the latter. His choice may have been the best for him personally, but for his partner —personally and professionally — it was terrible.

For the second time in two weeks, Shawn Michaels suffered a vicious beating at the hands of Umaga — this time with help from Michaels’ SummerSlam opponents, Mr. McMahon and his son Shane. After Mr. McMahon whipped HBK with a belt, the Chairman placed a steel chair in front of the Showstopper's face and Shane delivered a crushing dose of Sweet Chin Music to knock him out. How much more can Michaels endure before he’s unable to compete at SummerSlam on Aug. 20 against the McMahons?

Now that their match at SummerSlam has been set, what other tricks will the Chairman use to leave DX ailing as they head into their SummerSlam match a mere few weeks away? Can Triple H avenge HBK’s beating and overcome the power of Umaga? Or will Umaga continue his path of destruction and leave Triple H in shambles like he did with his partner?

The road to SummerSlam is revving up, and in 21 short days — no matter what condition the two are in or what roadblocks the Chairman uses — DX will step into the ring against the McMahons. The question remains: when the dust from RAW settles and SummerSlam approaches, which team will be healthy enough to emerge victorious?

we will probably see Big show v. Sabu as well, maybe  RVD thrown in to make it a triple threat match.

plus a three way IC title match, and something with melina and trish.

Usually the WWE likes to have 8-9 matches a card so could we see 3 matches from each of the shows? Maybe ECW will only get the two matches to the card. manhunt1001

doubt it, there will be like 15 and all but 4 of them will be under 10 minutes. the 4 that won't be will be Edge/Cena, SD main event, Hogan/Orton, and DX/McMahons.

Smackdown hasn't aired in America yet.

I am so pumped I might be going to the RAW in CT the night after SummerSlam :D. RAWs are ussually good the night after a PPV......right? lolStargazmo69

Regardless, you might actually see a couple of rematches make the show, possibly ones being set as dark matches after the show. The main show will probably have a lot of talk though.
