The 28th annual SummerSlam seemed beforehand to be one of the biggest in the event's history, partly due to the four-hour running time (a first for a non-WrestleMania PPV in WWE), and partly due to a stacked line-up which included ten matches, and with the top two bouts being a WWE World Title vs. United States Title winner-take-all clash between Seth Rollins and John Cena, and the rematch "too big for WrestleMania" between Brock Lesnar and The Undertaker, stemming of course from Lesnar ending Undertaker's undefeated record at Mania back at WM 30. Did the event live up to its lofty hype? Let's see ...
The show began with a short exchange between SummerSlam host Jon Stewart and Mick Foley (and apparently Foley genuinely was there at Stewart's request), further hyping what was to come on the PPV event. By the way, in something that I noticed last year but people only picked up on this year, the generic WWE set was used as the aisle for SummerSlam, with the screens showing SSlam graphics. This has been the case with all non-WM supershows for a while now (I think TLC 2013 or Royal Rumble 2014 was the last non-Mania PPV which didn't use the usual titantron), but some commented on it at this show, partly due to the bigger-than-usual hype that made SummerSlam 2015 seem like a truly colossal card.
