Over the past week there have been reports that WWE SummerSlam will be a 4-hour show this year, similar to WrestleMania.
Luca Franchini, who does the announcing for WWE programming on Italy’s Sky Italia network, posted on Facebook that he was informed by WWE that SummerSlam will in fact be 4 hours.
Franchini also noted that SummerSlam will start at 7PM ET, which means the Kickoff Pre-show will start at 6PM ET.
WWE has yet to confirm the news. Considering the fact that The Undertaker was brought back to face Brock Lesnar and rumors that Sting will also be wrestling on the show, its clear that WWE is going all out to spike WWE Network subscriptions for the summer classic.
