Here is the full match card for the 2017 edition of WWE SummerSlam, live from Brooklyn, New York.
WWE SummerSlam returns to the Barclays Center this Sunday night in Brooklyn, and there is a monumental night of action scheduled for this year’s event. Let’s take a look at the rundown of matches featured on the hottest night of the summer.
The WWE Universal Championship will be decided in a Fatal Four-Way Match, and has a huge pending stipulation. Brock Lesnar, led by boastful mouthpiece Paul Heyman, will defend the title against Roman Reigns, Samoa Joe and the destructive Braun Strowman in Brooklyn. Recently on Raw, Heyman issued the blockbuster announcement that BOTH he and Lesnar would leave WWE if he didn’t walk out of the Barclays Center as champion That gives the other three more than enough ammunition to want to take him out of the picture early. The entire Raw landscape could turn upside down by the time we wake up on Monday morning.
Representing SmackDown! Live, WWE Champion Jinder Mahal will defend his championship against Shinsuke Nakamura. A couple of weeks ago, Nakamura shocked the world by pinning John Cena to earn the right for a title match at SummerSlam. This is by far the biggest match in Nakamura’s WWE career, and he intends to make the most of it in Brooklyn. On the other side, the “Modern Day Maharaja” has been on a skyrocketing streak since becoming champion over the summer. Will the Singh Brothers be of importance in this match, or will Nakamura defy the odds and walk out as champion?
