#2 SummerSlam-bound matches taking place earlier
Trending
In continuation to the last two slides, one of the major reasons for the small card and no tag team match booked so far is because of them taking place before the event. I've already mentioned the Women's Tag Team Championship fatal-four way that could have easily made it to the PPV.
Other than that, we had Aleister Black and Sami Zayn compete against each other on SmackDown a couple of days ago, in a match that was supposed to take place at SummerSlam. There is no valid reason to prepone that match as Zayn and Black are the future of the company, and need to be showcased much more than any returning Hall of Famer.
Another example is that of Ali and Shinsuke Nakamura. What looked to be building towards a feud between the two for the Intercontinental Championship doesn't seem to be heading anywhere right now. So much so that Nakamura doesn't have anyone to defend his title against at the second biggest PPV of the year.
