What WWE Raw matches will be seen on the SummerSlam pay-per-view card?
WWE SummerSlam is considered the company’s second-biggest pay-per-view. It has the top Superstars competing against each other, along with the main titles on the line. This is also an inter-promotional show, despite the WWE Draft having taken place in July.
Given that Raw has more Superstars, they take up most of the space on the SummerSlam match card. Seven bouts will be seen, including four for titles and three non-belt ones, including an inter-promotional showing between Brock Lesnar of Raw and Randy Orton of SmackDown.
The WWE Tag Team Championship match will see Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows challenge New Day. However, Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods will be without Big E, who is out with a groin injury. This sets up an opportunity for a title change, so could the champions lose their belts nearly one year after winning them at the Barclays Center?
Cesaro vs. Sheamus will be one of the main undercard matches. On August 15, Raw GM Mick Foley announced that SummerSlam would be the first of a Best-of-Seven series between these two Superstars. Who will go up 1-0 on Sunday night?
With this in mind, here’s a look at the complete match card for SummerSlam.
