As WWE will be running RAW at the Barclays Center too, is this the first time they've held shows in the same building three nights in a row?

It might be. They've come close to that with WrestleMania, but I'm pretty sure they've never had the Hall of Fame ceremony, WrestleMania, and RAW in the same venue like they're doing with Takeover, SummerSlam, & RAW.

 

Also, Jonathan Coachman will be a part of SummerSlam. He will be covering SummerSlam for ESPN. I can only assume WWE will have him on camera doing some interviews or something. If there was ever a moment for a surprise appearance by The Rock, it would be SummerSlam. I want to see Coachman interview The Rock. It has the potential to be a nice shot of comedic nostalgia.

 

Speaking of comedy, WWE.com has just announced that former Daily Show host Jon Stewart will serve as the Host of SummerSlam. Also, Randy Orton vs. Sheamus has been added to the card.

RAW spoiler.

 

[spoiler=The host of SummerSlam is...]Jon Stewart.

 

I wonder if he will cost Seth the match. :lol

It's not really a spoiler since it's all over WWE.com, but I'll leave the tags in place anyways.

[DC 536]

Ah; fair enough. I only put it in spoiler tags as it was announced on last night's RAW (and as the results for RAW are also on WWE.COM, consider anything announced on the show as spoilers).

[Guest HH-Evolution]

Whats the point now though? TPIB ALREADY revealed that in his post above yours! :lol

The Heyman Hustle is usually worth a watch.

Hey fellows, no sports book for SummerSlam???

[Guest Yodahew]

Just spent all my money on the sportsbook. Watching this live. Just over 2 hours to go!!! Well excited.

Up Now. Sorry for it being so late. Just an hour left, folks.

1 hour! This starts at midnight, U.K time, I believe. Due to it being a 4-hour show. The pre-show should have started by now.

 

I think I accidentally cost you £100 on Sportsbook, Yodahew. You had that much staked on the Miz/Ryback/Show match at Battleground that got cancelled. I couldn't work out how to roll it over until SummerSlam and thought that if I deleted it, you would be refunded. But I don't think you were. I hope you win tonight to make up for it.

I can't think of a finish for the Title vs. Title match other than Sheamus cashing-in during the match and getting beat. This makes me sad. I hope I'm wrong.:frown:

[Guest Yodahew]

My bad its started now. Its ok if u can figure it out would be good. Spent all my money then u released 2 more bets!!! Sad yodahew :-(

[Guest Yodahew]

Ok wasnt expecting foley. Check out that beard though.

[Guest Yodahew]

Orton vs sheamus 1st up. Sign of a cash in later?

[Guest Yodahew]

New day rocks. Good match. Ajon stuart and stephen amell seemed very awkward in the backstage segment.

[Guest Yodahew]

Double count out in ziggler rusev match? Lame.
