how It’s a new day, yes it is. That line comes from the entrance theme for the New Day, but it could apply equally well to the WWE writ large as it rolls into Nashville for SummerSlam.
While there’s always plenty of anticipation for WWE’s second-biggest card of the year, it’d be silly to say there isn’t even more intrigue around the show thanks to all of the change that’s in the air at the top of the company. Some of the recent developments, like Triple H taking over as head of creative, could be apparent right away.
It’s more likely, however, that the biggest tweaks to the way things have always been with Vince McMahon calling the shots won’t be apparent for a few more months. Top stars like Randy Orton and Cody Rhodes are still out with injuries as well, but that doesn’t mean this year’s event doesn’t have the potential to thrill.
Now that the Riddle-Seth Rollins match has been taken off the card, the program stands at a fairly tidy eight matches, with five title bouts among them. That should result in a night that feels full without being overstuffed, which is always ideal.
