설명
CM Punk and Cody Rhodes was announced as the Main Event of SummerSlam last week. They have managed to generate no interest and move barely any tickets for such a huge match. With two weeks left, can Punk & Cody get people on board with what they are selling for SummerSlam?
Nick Aldis has given the Main Event of Saturday Nights Main Event a major SummerSlam altering stipulation. If Gunther, and Sami Zayn win, they get into the SummerSlam Main Event making it a Fatal 4 Way with CM Punk and Cody Rhodes. Does Sami get into the Main Event or does Nick Aldis have other plans for Gunther?
Also, WWE will NOT strip Rhea Ripley of the WWE Women's Championship. Instead, they will crown an INTERIM Champion at SummerSlam in a 5 Way Ladder Match. Which begs the question of WHY they will not strip Rhea of the title.
