It`s almost time for Summerslam, the biggest WWE PPV of the season. It will be taking place Sunday, August 19 on the WWE Network. For the fourth year in a row, the event will be held at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.

Additionally, Ronda Rousey will get a chance to win the Raw Women`s Championship from Alexa Bliss. Hopefully, if Rousey ends up winning, she will be a fighting champion and not absent like a certain champion on the men`s roster has been for the past couple of years. ...
