Summerslam Weekend Notes on Legends and Talent in Attendance

It’s Summerslam weekend in Minneapolis, and as usual for the biggest PLEs, there’s no shortage of additional talent on hand to promote the show.

Per PWInsider, Sean “X-Pac” Waltman, Jimmy Hart, Rikishi, The Undertaker, and The Dudley Boyz are on hand, even doing paid photo ops at a Fanatics weekend event. It feels like a sure thing that they’ll at least be shown on camera in the audience at the show itself. In addition, NXT performers Kendal Grey, Jaida Parker, Izzi Dame, Lola Vice, Mason Rook, Zaria and Tatum Paxley are on hand making formal appearances. Grayson Waller, whose storyline in NXT has him in an outsider sort of role, is reportedly in Minneapolis as well, possibly for some surprise disruptions.

PWInsider also reports the Broken Lizard comedy team behind Super Troopers are around, with their cop costumes, for a probable crossover promotion. Additionally, Sean Evans from Hot Ones will be doing something with Dominik Mysterio.

How many of these guests will actually be seen on the broadcast is anyone’s guess. Rikishi could certainly be involved with the Bloodline, and if Oba Femi defeats Brock Lesnar, one can imagine Undertaker having something to say about it. If the Dudleys put Farva from Super Troopers through a table, that would also be in character for both sides.
