#2 Forcing WWE’s Hand
For years now it feels like SummerSlam has fallen victim to the WWE calendar, and by that, we mean the company seems forced into a situation whereby they must do everything they can to put on a show of real value.
SummerSlam seems to fall third in line behind WrestleMania and Royal Rumble in terms of importance, and to a certain extent, we can understand that. However, the impact of the coronavirus outbreak will almost definitely open the eyes of the higher-ups to the potential that SummerSlam holds.
If they do not pull off a tremendous show, considering just how much time they've got to build towards it now, there's going to be an awful lot of ridicule from the masses - especially for those international fans traveling over to the United States to watch it live.
If this ends up being the best SummerSlam of the last five or 10 years, then you can bet we'll see a big SummerSlam stadium show before too long.
