Eleven matches (some of which will take place on the Kickoff show) are scheduled for SummerSlam 2016. Obviously, that's quite the number, meaning some bouts will be short and maybe even feel a little rushed. If WWE expect fans to invest in the 'Best Of 7 Series' idea, Sheamus vs. Cesaro can't be one of them.

The entire concept of this gruelling challenge is to see who has the staying power. Such a premise pretty much demands that both men kick the heck out of one another across each of the bouts, using hard-hitting wrestling to sell their in-ring abilities and desire.

Therefore, the SummerSlam match has to be given ample time. This can't be a five-minute sprint, at least ten minutes is a must for the Irishman and his Swiss counterpart. If that happens, the live audience will have a blast, Sheamus and Cesaro have already shown they can work well together.

If time must be sacrificed for some, choosing other matches is a smart move. WWE would undermine their own idea if they rushed through this one.
