WWE’s biggest event of the summer will take place on Saturday, serving as a bridge between the company’s past and an exciting new era that’s just beginning.
SummerSlam will be the first WWE pay-per-view since Vince McMahon retired from the company amid a sexual misconduct scandal. While McMahon may be gone, the direction for SummerSlam was put in place while he was still in charge. It’s up to new head of creative Paul “Triple H” Levesque to make SummerSlam a PPV that wraps up WWE’s existing storylines while also showing that a new direction is coming.
