There are 11 matches currently confirmed for this year’s WWE SummerSlam pay-per-view, taking place at the Scotiabank Arena on Sunday, July 11th.
As noted, one of those announced matches – Dolph Ziggler vs. The Miz – is actually a “red herring” for a much different bout on the schedule, as a WWE legend is reportedly slated to appear and take on the Showoff.
According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, the “internal schedule” for the show is also listing a Fatal 4-Way match for the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships. The IIconics are slated to defend their titles against the teams of Asuka and Kairi Sane, Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville, as well as Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross.
Billie Kay and Peyton Royce have defended their titles on three occasions, all on television, in matches totaling about 8 minutes collectively. The belts have not been defended on WWE pay-per-view since The IIconics won them at WrestleMania 35, despite a total of six live WWE Network specials having taken place since April.
Other matches currently on the schedule for SummerSlam that have yet to be announced include Drew Gulak defending the WWE Cruiserweight Championship against Oney Lorcan, and Cedric Alexander vs. Drew McIntyre.
With the big news about Roman Reigns’ expected opponent for the show, that makes 14 matches in total including those reported about in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter.
The 2018 incarnation of SummerSlam had 13 matches, with 3 matches on the pre-show, and 6 of the matches, including the main event, were under 7 minutes in total. Somehow we still don’t have confirmation on an Intercontinental Championship bout, or defenses of either of the men’s tag team titles.
