Bengaluru, July 5: According to the WWE calendar, Summerslam will be held on August 19 this year. This will be the fourth time in a row when the Barclays Center Brooklyn, New York, will be hosting the event.
It is quite certain that WWE will present the show in a grander way, considering it is the second largest event of the year.
The company pulls out all the stops to establish the show as a grand spectacle. Legendary wrestlers reappear to perform at four PPV events and Summerslam is definitely one of them. The hype around this event will begin once Extreme Rules get over.
Recent reports are available on the status of two marquee names for Summerslam. We previously gave updates on The Undertaker giving more appearances, this year, than his usual schedule. Cagesideseats.com has supported this. It has claimed that there are more chances of seeing the legendary wrestler making an appearance in the August show.
It looks like that he will skip this grand show as well, as per the source. Here's the update courtesy stillrealtous.com,
"Over the last few years John Cena has been taking more and more time away from WWE, and according to CageSideSeats it’s considered more likely that The Undertaker will wrestle at SummerSlam this year than John Cena."
No matter what, John Cena is always considered to be a huge boost to TV ratings. Currently, WWE Raw is dealing with a lot of problems due to his absence. This situation is not going to end any time soon.
