For 30 years, Summerslam dominated the summer of professional wrestling and built a legacy as the second most important pay-per-view in the WWE’s calendar year behind Wrestlemania.  Over the years, the show has been used as a way to help young talent make a name for themselves and to allow legends from the past make a comeback. While not holding the prestige of a Wrestlemania, being featured in a big match on the Summerslam card can still do wonders for your career. Along the way, we have also been treated to some memorable shows that make the biggest party of the summer an essential part of our professional wrestling experience. In this series, I will be reviewing every single Summerslam leading up to the big event on August 19th 2018. I hope you join me on this journey and leave your thoughts in comments. The show’s ratings and overall grade is below. Enjoy. 

Overall show grade: Good show! (B) An overall fun, productive, and effective show. It may have one or two dips in matches or segments, but overall it did not harm the enjoyment. Majority of the matches were good, overall booking and storylines were kept fresh, and it did its job keeping the viewers excited for upcoming shows as well as make you interested to tune in next week.
