SummerSlam 2016 was a memorable show, but not all for the right reasons, as the end of the last two matches were so underwhelming, it left a stink that ruined everything that preceded it.
As the dust is settling on the latest new era in WWE, we’ve got the small matter of the biggest WWE show of the summer. They’re back in Brooklyn for Summerslam!
