Triple H and the creative team are finalizing the match card for the SummerSlam Premium Live Event. It will take place in Cleveland, Ohio, this Saturday, August 3.

All singles championships will be on the line, however none of the tag team titles has been added to the match card yet. Neither DIY (SmackDown) nor Finn Balor and JD McDonagh (RAW) are set to defend their respective tag team titles at The Biggest Party of the Summer.

The same goes for the Women's Tag Team champions Alba Fyre and Isla Dawn, even though this might change. The duo might take on No.1 contenders Bianca Belair and Jade Cargill at SummerSlam. As for one-half of the current WWE Tag Team Champions, Johnny Gargano, this is quite disappointing.

The DIY member is from Cleveland, Ohio, and he would love to compete next to his tag team partner, Tommaso Ciampa, and defend the titles in front of his family and friends at Cleveland Browns Stadium.

Johnny Gargano calls competing at SummerSlam a 'lifelong dream'

It is yet unclear how Triple H and WWE will proceed with the title match between DIY and Tama Tonga and Jacob Fatu of The Bloodline on SmackDown.

For the time being, it is not part of the match card, but this could change heading into Saturday's Premium Live Event. Even though it is not up to him to decide, Johnny Gargano said he would love to compete at SummerSlam and hopes he will be able to be part of the show.

While speaking to Cageside Seats, the 36-year-old said:

"It’s one of those things where, look, I’m just happy doing anything. I would do anything in that stadium. I don’t care what it is. I just wanna do something in that stadium. It’s a lifelong dream of mine. Whether it’s defending the tag team titles or just popping out and waving to the crowd, I don’t care. I wanna do something wrestling related in that stadium. And I will die happy." [H/T 411 Mania]

As DIY and The Bloodline are set for a face-off this Friday on SmackDown, it remains to be seen whether their title match will take place at SummerSlam or whether Triple H will extend the feud to the coming weeks.
