SummerSlam's preparation starts now.

As the WWE rolls around to Money In The Bank, the plans for SummerSlam will now firmly be in place. The show is always planned out well in advance, with the idea that it is the climax of one WWE season and the start of the fall programs. With this in mind, WWE must now start the process of foreshadowing. Just like WrestleMania season, a several week build is going to need to be executed to ensure that the wrestlers are in prime positions to main event the second biggest show of the year. There's several huge matches already planned, and many others being mulled over. SummerSlam really is a three month build, just like WrestleMania. The advertising for the very biggest matches will already be getting produced. It is of course always traditionally one of Brock Lesnar's scheduled dates with WWE. That'll probably remain the case for this year, with a potentially huge match already in the works. There may also be a few other big surprises. Last year, Stephanie McMahon wrestled a match. Two years before that, Triple H worked a bout. There's definitely scope two or three special attractions on this year's card. The other thing to expect is big angles. A year ago Ronda Rousey appeared ringside at SummerSlam, and it is sure to attract a range of East Coast celebrities for this year's event in New Jersey. The build starts now, with the following matches.
