The Countdown to SummerSlam events on Saturday and Sunday will start at 3PM ET, and with the main card starting at 6PM ET, it means that each night will have a three-hour countdown show.
This is the most that they have done for a pre-show ever, as usually they run for two hours. The premium live event is expected to run between three and a half to four hours, so it will be a long night for the WWE production crew.
No matches are scheduled to be part of the shows so it will be a lot of talking, videos, and commercials.
The Countdown to SummerSlam airs for free on WWE’s social media properties as well as on Peacock.
