SummerSlam 2018 is upon us. With this week’s Raw and Smackdown out of the way, the stage is set for the second biggest weekend in WWE.
That will start with NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn IV on Saturday, which figures to set the bar extremely high for the main roster’s big day/night (it’s a 7-hour event now so just saying night is disingenuous) on Sunday. Whether SummerSlam is capable of living up to what TakeOver delivers remains to be seen, but as usual, the WWE production crew has put together quite the promo video to at get fans hyped for Sunday.
This year, WWE tabbed Terry Crews with reading the promo over top of highlights to hype the matches and it gets the job done. After watching this video I’m ready for the SummerSlam marathon event to be here.
It wouldn’t be a Terry Crews appearance without some pec bouncing, which somehow you can even tell that’s what’s happening through a suit!
I’m not sure there’s anything WWE does better on a consistent basis than these promo packages, whether making a feud seem way more important and heated than it probably was or simply building hype for a major event. I do appreciate it starting out talking about how success shouldn’t be defined by money and then almost immediately showing Brock Lesnar bouncing up and down and smiling — I always assume Brock’s just counting his money in his head while Paul Heyman talks for him.
Anyways, SummerSlam is Sunday and you should be excited for it. We’ll have all the coverage you’ll want and need here at With Spandex for all of the weekend’s activities and goings on.
