10 Fascinating WWE SummerSlam 2015 Facts

10. It Was The First Four Hour SummerSlam

WWE had been looking for ways to make the rest of their Big Four pay-per-views as important as WrestleMania, for each to have a true cornerstone quality. Over the last few years, NXT TakeOvers have been added to the weekends of those pay-per-views (the Brooklyn one in 2015 quickly attained must-see status), and in the past year, the primary events have seen an increase in run-time.

SummerSlam 2015 was the first to join WrestleMania in expanded length, going to four hours for the first time ever. Of the ten matches on the show, eight of them went beyond the ten minute mark, giving most of the important action a chance to breathe, and tell their stories with minimal hindrance. Granted, it was the gateway to making WrestleMania five f--king hours long plus pre-show, so it's hard to be completely happy with this development.
