WWE SummerSlam 2015 has all of the makings of an event that wrestling fans will remember for quite some time. If the presence of ESPN, Jon Stewart hosting, and the build by the company on their programming and otherwise are any indication, this is going to be a pay-per-view that at least sniffs the same stratosphere that Wrestlemania resides in as far as importance and magnitude goes.
However, an event like SummerSlam couldn’t be promoted or covered in such a huge manner if it weren’t for the matches on the card and Sunday night in Brooklyn, NY has a slew of stars from top to bottom. There’s no denying that the top of the card has the two biggest and most recognizable names of all, though.
A year and a half after Brock Lesnar ended his undefeated streak at Mania, The Undertaker has returned seeking revenge on the man who defeated him at Wrestlemania 30. Lesnar is still a physical freak and Taker looks to be in the best shape we’ve seen him in in recent years. That could make for a great match and great story being told in the ring.
Meanwhile, fans will also be treated to a Title vs. Title Match as both United States Champion John Cena and WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins will put their belts on the line. This match comes as Cena is still recovering from a broken nose that he suffered as a result of Rollins kneeing him in the face.
The WWE Tag Team Championships will also be on the line, as will the Intercontinental Championship, on SummerSlam in a Fatal 4-Way Match and Triple Threat Match, respectively. The Divas Revolution has its place on the card as well while two internet favorites will collide in Brooklyn.
With the show being four hours long, the card is packed with big names and big-time matches. Here’s the full rundown of the match card for SummerSlam:
