How long is Summerslam? The answer may surprise you!
Introduction
Most pro wrestling fans know that WWE’s Summerslam is one of, if not the biggest event on their yearly calendar. But how long is Summerslam?
The answer may surprise you – Summerslam is actually a pretty short show! This year’s event clocked in at just over three hours, including commercials. That’s shorter than a lot of regular WWE pay-per-views, let alone other big shows like WrestleMania.
So why is Summerslam such a big deal if it’s so short? Part of it has to do with the card – WWE always packs Summerslam with huge matches and marquee dream match-ups. But another reason is that Summerslam always feel like a special event. There’s a certain excitement in the air when WWE comes to Brooklyn for Summerslam weekend, and that extends to the live audience and viewers at home.
In any case, three hours is still plenty of time for a great show – and that’s exactly what this year’s Summerslam delivered.
History of Summerslam
Summerslam is a professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event, produced annually in August by WWE. It is one of the “Big Four” events of the WWE calendar, along with WrestleMania, Royal Rumble and Survivor Series.
The Length of Summerslam
Summerslam is the second-longest WWE pay-per-view event, behind WrestleMania. It typically lasts around four hours.
Why Summerslam Is So Long
While the average WWE pay-per-view event runs for around three hours, Summerslam is one of the few that clocks in at a whopping four hours. So why is it so long?
Well, one reason is that Summerslam features not one, but two main events. This year’s show will feature a Universal Championship match between Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns, as well as an WWE Championship match between AJ Styles and Samoa Joe.
Another reason for Summerslam’s lengthy run time is the fact that it includes a number of other big matches on its card. In addition to the two main events, this year’s Summerslam will also feature Ronda Rousey taking on Alexa Bliss for the Raw Women’s Championship and Braun Strowman defending his Raw Tag Team Championships against The Revival.
Conclusion
There is no precise answer to this question as the length of Summerslam can vary from year to year. However, on average, Summerslam tends to last for around four hours. This includes time for commercials, so the actual wrestling time is usually somewhat shorter. Nevertheless, Summerslam is one of the longest professional wrestling events of the year and is generally considered to be one of thebiggest events in WWE’s annual calendar.
