Summerslam is coming up very soon! The show will be headlined by a massive fatal 4-way match for the WWE Universal Championship. Brock Lesnar will defend his title against Samoa Joe, Braun Strowman and Roman Reigns. The show will also see Jinder Mahal defend his WWE Championship against Shinsuke Nakamura.

We have been getting a lot of questions about the length of Summerslam this year and fans asking what time the show will start.
PWInsider.com has confirmed that (the main card of) Summerslam will be a 4 hour show. It will begin at 7:00 PM (EST).
This DOES NOT include the kickoff show that is looking like it will be 2 hours. The kickoff show last year was 2 hours and it seems to be the norm for the big 4 Pay-Per-Views (Wrestlemania, Summerslam, Royal Rumble and Survivor Series) to have longer kickoff shows. That means the kickoff show will likely begin at 5:00 PM (EST) and will probably feature a couple of matches (usually 2 or 3).
Strap yourself in for a long night if you are watching the pre-show. That will be 6 hours of WWE programming (if the show ends right at 11).

Let us know what you think in the comment section below. Is Summerslam too long? Or are you happy with the length of the show?
I’m glad they’re doing this ONLY for the major PPVs. WrestleMania’s 7hr marathon about did me in.
Agreed wrestlemaina was ridiculously long
Think I’ll be skipping the preshow this year, it’s just too long otherwise
The more WWE, the better.
so 2 hours for NXT 6 hours for summerslam 3 hours for raw and 2 hours for smackdown
