Can WWE Summerslam become the biggest PPV of 2021?

Reigns vs Cena for Universal Championship

WWE Summerslam 2021 has one aim this year to not only be “The Biggest Party of the Summer” but also be the biggest PPV for 2021. This distinction of being the biggest WWE show of the year usually goes to WWE Wrestlemania.

The company did manage to make it a memorable Wrestlemania this year, with live fans getting a chance to attend the show, in middle of the Thunderdome Era. But only limited fans attended the event, that was spread over two nights. Now, because WWE could not deliver a full-scale event, they want to do it at WWE Summerslam.

WWE has left no stone unturned and is tapping into every possible resource to put up the show on a massive scale. The biggest star of the company, John Cena, has also made his return and will be appearing at Summerslam. This is not all, legendary Superstar Goldberg has also been announced for a match at Summerslam.

But just the card of the event is never enough for delivering a blockbuster event. It seems like WWE has got that covered too. They have been delivering one great show after another. While this is common for Smackdown, but Raw is slowly getting back on track too.

This build is nothing like something that has been seen on WWE in a really long time. While there is still 3 weeks to go for the event, as of now it seems like we might actually witness the biggest PPV of 2021.
