7:30 PM ET: Its kick off time! On the panel we have Renee Young, Alex Riley, Booker T and Ric Flair. With Flair in the house, this should be interesting.
5:00 PM ET: We are just a few short hours from the start of the show! What matches would you have like to have seen tonight that aren’t on the card? How about Big Show and Mark Henry vs. The Wyatt Family vs. The Usos vs. Goldust and Stardust for the tag team titles? That is this writer’s pick. Let us know your picks in the comments below!
4:55 PM ET: With a roster this deep it will be possible to recreate every match on the SummerSlam card tonight.
4:50 PM ET: During the weekend SummerSlam extravaganza the WWE and 2k Sports released the roster for the new WWE 2k15 video game.
4:44 PM ET: This writer is both intrigued and emotionally invested in the Dolph Ziggler vs. The Miz match for the IC title. At some point Ziggler has to climb the mountaintop again, doesn’t he? Does Miz really need the IC title? Does he bring anything to the table to elevate the belt? What do you think? Sound off in the comments below.
4:36 PM ET: Who do you think will win? Check out our predictions for the show here.
4:22 PM ET: The build to this match was going great until this past week’s Monday Night Raw. Running a Daniel Bryan cheated on Brie Bella angle is a bit silly and contrived. If the goal was to have Brie arrested they should have run the angle on Smackdown to give the illusion that there was doubt that Brie would be able to make it to the ppv. A move like that would have garnered Steph even more heel heat. That’s not to say she needs anymore. She is the top heel in the company.
4:09 PM ET: One of the most intriguing things about this year’s SummerSlam is the fact that the co-main event is the match between Stephanie McMahon and Brie Bella. WWE has invested a ton of TV time into this match. It makes sense considering Steph’s involvement and the history between the Authority and Daniel Bryan/Brie Bella.
4:00 PM ET: Did you miss the week leading up to SummerSlam? We’ve got you covered! Click here for our recap of the Raw and SmackDown leading up to tonight’s huge ppv event.
3:50 PM ET: In the end, Cena managed to stay alive and defeat Lesnar after an Attitude Adjustment on the steel steps. Will the title match tonight be as brutal as the match at Extreme Rules? Can either man survive that kind of punishment again?
3:45 PM ET: The second match took place at the WWE Extreme Rules ppv in 2012. This match was the definition of brutal. This fight seemed to be more shoot that work. Lesnar laid into Cena with everything he had.
3:41 PM ET: Cena fell victim to an F5 by Lesnar and it was all she wrote. This match was a test to see how Cena would preform in the main event setting. Cena's performance here was the first step in his inevitable accent to the top of the wrestling world.
3:36 PM ET: One thing that has been understated in this feud is the fact that technically this is the rubber match between Cena and Lesnar. During Lesnar’s first run with WWE he defended the Undisputed WWE Heavyweight Championship against a the young, then Doctor of Thuganomics John Cena.
3:29 PM ET: This could potentially be the greatest SummerSlam main event ever. This writer does not say that lightly. We took the liberty of ranking ever SummerSlam main event in the history of the WWE. That list can be found here. After tonight, where will Cena vs. Lesnar fall on the list?
3:20 PM ET: There are many great matchups scheduled tonight, but nothing is more important than the big World title match. Even though Cena and Lesnar are around the same age, if Lesnar wins it will be the dawning of a new era. Triple H coined the phrase “The Reality Era” not too long ago. Lesnar as champ would cement that fact. It doesn’t get any realer than a former NCAA, WWE, and UFC Heavyweight Champion as the WWE World Heavyweight Champion.
3:10 PM ET: When SummerSlam finds it’s new home, who will be the champion? It is feasible that whomever walks away with the belts tonight could very well be the WWE World Heavyweight Champion next year as well.
3:00 PM ET: SummerSlam’s unofficial home the past few years has been the Staple Center in Los Angeles. The event has run there for the past six years. Rumor has it next year’s event is moving back east. It will be interesting to see where the show ends up.
Pre-Show: Hello everyone and welcome to Vavel USA’s live coverage of the 2014 WWE SummerSlam! We have a stacked card lined up tonight. Many burning questions will be answered. Will WWE be heading in a new direction with “The Beast Incarnate” Brock Lesnar as it’s face? Or will John Cena continue to reign supreme?
