Updated WWE SummerSlam Lineup with 11 Matches Including 8 Championships on the Line

TJR Wrestling

The next WWE PPV is SummerSlam on Sunday, August 19 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, NY. The show begins at 7pmET with an expected run time of at least four hours, but it could approach the five-hour mark with an ending close to midnight. Plus, the Kickoff Show for the “big four” PPVs are usually two hours meaning WWE could be planning a SEVEN HOUR (I had to go all caps for that) event at SummerSlam. Keep in mind that WrestleMania was over seven hours counting the Kickoff Show, so it’s possible SummerSlam will go that long.

Here’s the lineup so far.

Universal Championship: Brock Lesnar (c) vs. Roman Reigns

WWE Championship: AJ Styles (c) vs. Samoa Joe

Raw Women’s Championship: Alexa Bliss (c) vs. Ronda Rousey

Daniel Bryan vs. The Miz

For the Money in the Bank Contract: Braun Strowman vs. Kevin Owens

Intercontinental Championship: Dolph Ziggler (c) vs. Seth Rollins

United States Championship: Shinsuke Nakamura (c) vs. Jeff Hardy

Smackdown Women’s Championship: Carmella (c) vs. Becky Lynch vs. Charlotte Flair

Smackdown Tag Team Championships: The Bludgeon Brothers (c) vs. The New Day

Baron Corbin vs. Finn Balor

Cruiserweight Championship: Cedric Alexander (c) vs. Drew Gulak – I expect this to be a Kickoff Show match.

If they add more matches then two of them might be Bobby Lashley vs. Elias and Rusev/Lana vs. Andrade Cien Almas/Zelina Vega. I don’t know if they need to add more because 11 matches are more than enough.
