I've read that "Las Vegas" wants Summerslam to end by 10pm. This would be a first for WWE in many years that I can recall to have a 10 match PPV card come in at 3 hours. Here are some variables.

There has been reports that Sasha isn't cleared to compete for whatever reason (I assume Covid protocols). It would be a huge loss to the show as that could easily be one of the best matches on the show. I wonder how this will be handled if true.

Goldberg and Lashley won't take long, that's a given. 10 minutes tops. I doubt that Bliss/Marie will be a long one too. And at least one match will likely be added to the pre-show if they haven't already announced that.

Also there has to be something with Corbin and Big E about the Briefcase which could take up a small chunk of time. The timing of the show will be interesting but there is no reason they can't put on a good show, the card for the most part has great potential in my opinion. I will be watching.

I'm guessing Balor interferes and costs Cena the match, as revenge for stealing it from him.

Let's also remember that Sasha Banks has posted antivax stuff on IG and, well, it's not hard to guess at why she's been mysteriously dropped off of the last several shows. And she deserves zero sympathy if that's the case.

Unjustifiably bad booking decision regardless, but Sasha put them in this spot in the first place. Hope skipping out on the jab was worth it.

Cena vs. Reigns was great.

Going to laugh if Lesnar is the one to dethrone Reigns after his year long reign. Would be a huge waste of a big star making rub from Reigns' title reign.

Also a bit funny that back to back WWE PPVs have ended with a part timer showing up at the end to go after Reigns title.

I would love to see this version of Reigns face off Lesnar. This is great!

Has Roman ever beaten Brock?

At SummerSlam for the Universal Championship.

Yes Michael Cole we’re well aware Heyman used to be Lesnar’s advocate

The only problem is Lesnar might have to handle a live mic.

Paul Heyman on a pole match

This is the only acceptable stipulation.

I have a feeling Roman beats Brock then gets cashed in on.

Good main. Brock's new look is cool.

But a pretty shit show overall. Really struggled to hold my attention for a lot of it

AEW wins
