WWE SummerSlam Expanded To Four Hours

While WWE SummerSlam has always been regarded as one of the WWE’s “Big Four” PPVs (or even “Big Three” now that Survivor Series has lost some of its luster), WrestleMania was still the only show that ran four hours. Well, not anymore.

WWE has announced that, for the first time ever, this year’s SummerSlam event will run four hours. Not including the hour-long pre-show, of course.
