WWE SummerSlam 2021: “The Biggest Event of the Summer” Construction & Matches Build Up| All You need to know

WWE SummerSlam 2021: If we think of the big WWE show, we think of WrestleMania. It is the Super Bowl of wrestling, where everything comes together, ends and where the gazes of the most casual fans alight.

LIVE Crowd with Huge Numbers

This year, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we were only able to enjoy La Vitrina de los Inmortales with a reduced capacity, marking the return of the public more than 12 months later. This, despite the anniversary, seemed insufficient.

WWE seized the opportunity, on Money In The Bank weekend, to leave the ThunderDome era behind. And welcome fans on a 25-city tour that left no seat free. The idea, therefore, was to regain normalcy and try to turn their programming into something truly unmissable. With SummerSlam as the culmination of the goal. They got it halfway.

With the arrival of the live audience, a change was expected in the stories of Monday Night Raw. It did not happen. The show became the concept of Nietzsche’s eternal return: everything is repeated an infinite number of times.

It is a superficial program, to be seen on the second screen, very light and without a complex script. The fights follow the same formula, the endings are usually dirty, clashes pile up and a win / loss record is applied that tries not to harm any fighter (and ends up being the opposite).

The counterpart is SmackDown. One hour less of programming, more compact, with more rhythm and with a figure above the rest: Roman Reigns. When the vehicular thread of your show is a fighter in excellent shape, it is difficult, in general terms, for things to go wrong for you.

To that must be added the clear predisposition of WWE to place its great strongholds there. He did not hesitate to establish all the heavy artillery at FOX, turning the blue brand show into the spearhead of the company. And that’s where the difference lies.

Comeback of WWE Superstars for SummerSlam

WWE recognizes the importance of its assets, especially those who paid dividends in the past.. Filling shows with star power was a sine qua non to make SummerSlam the great show of the year, the one that demonstrates the strength of the company’s global machinery.

They brought back Goldberg, Edge, and especially John Cena. Within this select list we can include Sasha Banks, a fighter who has already made the leap to the mainstream. All of them, except for the king of “Who’s Next?”, Went to SmackDown.

And all of them, except for the wrestler with the most famous winning streak in wrestling, are attractions both before and after the bell rings. With Goldberg we will see a sprint, while with Banks, Edge and Cena we will have storytelling and a more refined show. WWE knows this and referred them to the brand they fit into.

Without these pieces, already perennial in wrestling history (and with a Banks not too far from it), it was difficult to make a “WrestleMania level” card.

But if you add a stellar John Cena, with promos at the highest level, with a feud for the most important title of your company, against the most important fighter of your company, who has been a Hollywood star, who does not have a physical combat and on TV since January 2019 and, on top of that, you announce a Summer of Cena with dozens of appearances at house shows and weekly, you can imagine.

There has been a certain predisposition, especially in the past, to underestimate Cena’s abilities, but his power of summons, his aura and the amount of feelings he can provoke in the fan is undeniable. You do not know what you have, until you lose it.

SummerSlam 2021 Match Card 

WWE doesn’t have a need for throaty rivalries, epic evolutions, or long-lived storylines. The PPV sells itself . It’s like paying to see McGregor, Canelo, Messi or Brady. The rest is still accessory, regardless of the physical state of one or the other. Anyway, of course, you have to build more fights. Even if it’s intermittently.

Bobby Lashley comes to his fight against Goldberg with the idea of ​​wiping him off the map, as he already did with Kofi Kingston. Edge and Seth Rollins will meet with 2014 as a backdrop … and with talent as the flag.

Bianca Belair and Sasha Banks, with doubt hovering over their match (they missed the last ‘house shows’), have the opportunity to reissue the magnificent performance they had at WrestleMania.

RKBro, in full effervescence and popularity, seeks to consolidate itself against AJ Styles and Omos. Nikki ASH wants to consolidate her babyface and underdog persona, forged through defeats.

Drew McIntyre and Jinder Mahal fight over a sword. Sheamus will defend his title against a Damian Priest who has been more aware of The Miz and John Morrison. The Usos will face each other again against the Mysterios. Alexa Bliss will continue with her pseudo-demonic character in front of a lazy Eva Marie.

There is for everyone and all tastes. From the childish that Raw offers us to the big names that dazzle. It is an extensive card, which will go from less to more and has a lot of talent in its ranks . In some cases, WWE tries to make us forget, like Festus when the bell sounded, everything that has happened previously.

In others, he wants us to stick with it. The truth is that the legends, the superstars and the stage (+45,000 people in the sensational Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, home of the Raiders), invite us to think that SummerSlam will not only be the biggest event of the summer, but also of the year.
