10 Fascinating WWE SummerSlam 2016 Facts
10. Sheamus Vs Cesaro Was A Late Move To The Pre-Show
Sheamus and Cesaro, before becoming brothers-in-kilts (as well as brothers-in-overdone-ring-entrances) had one of those textbook "tough guy feuds", where two wrestlers bring the lumber in some hard hitting matches with each other. There would be plenty of time to bring said lumber, as Sheamus and Cesaro were taking part in a best-of-seven series, beginning with the first match at SummerSlam.
Did we say SummerSlam? Because we meant to say the SummerSlam pre-show. Up until a few days before the pay-per-view, Sheamus and Cesaro were fixing to slug it out on the main card. That was before WWE announced some notable Wellness suspensions that were unrelated to their match.
One of those suspensions led to WWE substituting for one performer on the show, and that led to the sliding puzzle game that led to this match getting bumped to the pre-show. This will make more sense later in the list.
