WrestleMania is the reigning, defending, undisputed champion of all wrestling events every year and likely will be for the foreseeable future, but if you ask fans for a second place, you’re likely to get a lot of different answers. Some will say Royal Rumble. Some will say Survivor Series. Some might even say it’s AEW’s Double or Nothing. I suspect, however, the most common answer, at least from those associated with WWE, would be SummerSlam. The premium live event has run annually every summer since 1988, and it typically features many of the roster’s biggest names in action.
This year is missing a few heavy hitters, at least via announced matches, but it still boasts a laundry list of huge names including Roman Reigns, Brock Lesnar, Cody Rhodes, Charlotte Flair, Seth Rollins, Drew McIntyre, Gunther, Logan Paul, Bianca Belair, Finn Bálor and the rapidly getting over LA Knight. Several of the matches have, in my mind at least, pretty obvious outcomes, but there’s enough toss-ups and lingering uncertainty that it should still be really intriguing for everyone watching.
