Though SummerSlam has almost always taken place inside the United States of America, tonight's show will mark the third time that the biggest party of the summer has ventured outside of the US of A.

And if you believe in superstitious precedent, then tonight's show may be bad news for WWE Universal Champion Brock Lesnar.

Lesnar, who is in the main event tonight against Seth Rollins, will hope to do what no other Superstar has done before: retain a title in the main event of SummerSlam held outside of the States.

In 1992, "The British Bulldog" Davey Boy Smith defeated his brother-in-law Bret 'Hitman' Hart at the famous Wembley Stadium in London, England to claim the Intercontinental Championship. Years later, at SummerSlam 2004 (a show which also took place in Toronto), Randy Orton captured the World Heavyweight Championship and became the youngest man to ever hold that gold at the end of the night.

Will history repeat itself tonight? Or will the reigning, defending, conquering, undisputed WWE Universal Champion find a way to extend his legacy in WWE as a true groundbreaking, history-making Beast?
