– It looks like SummerSlam will be a 4+ hour PPV once again this year. Ticketmaster.com now displays a 6pm start time for the event, a half hour earlier than the original listing. WWE has already confirmed that Brock Lesnar will be part of SummerSlam, as long as he’s healthy enough to do so after competing at next month’s UFC 200.

SummerSlam takes place on Sunday, August 21st from Brooklyn, NY at the Barclays Center. It will be the 2nd of three consecutive nights at the Barclays Center, sandwiched between NXT Takeover: Brooklyn and RAW the following night.

– Over the weekend, Kevin Owens revealed that he’ll be getting his own Funko Pop vinyl toy this summer. Funko Pop has since announced that several other WWE personalities are getting Funko dolls this summer, including Bret Hart, Seth Rollins, Bray Wyatt and one we know you’ll all be interested in – Eva Marie.
