The Event Finally Leaving Hollywood
Since 2009, the Staples Center in Los Angeles had been the exclusive home to SummerSlam. While we love our time in Southern, California every year, the event became a bit Hollywood – all pun intended, with pointless celebrities making a visit to the event. This year was different, as WWE finally left the West Coast to return home for their first ever four-hour event of the series. This mark was previously exclusive only to WrestleMania, as those on hand were granted a rare early 7:00pm star on the east coast. A change of scenery was a breath of fresh air many needed; and from top to bottom, and this was one of the best SummerSlam events in recent memory.
