There is a possibility that SummerSlam could be earlier this year than expected. Here's a summary of the current schedule for Season 17:
- May 16th: Season starts
- May 17th: Week 1 starts
- July 23rd: Regular season ends
- July 26th-30th: Off week
- August 1st: Last possible date for a PPV to be scored
- August 2nd: Playoffs start
- August 13th: Playoffs end
- SummerSlam: Championship
To make sure we have an established postseason plan regardless of when SummerSlam takes place, here are the possible scenarios and how the season will end:
• If SummerSlam takes place after August 13th:
- The above schedule remains the same
• If SummerSlam takes place between August 7th and August 13th:
- July 25th: Last possible date for a PPV to be scored
- July 26th: Playoffs start
- August 6th: Playoffs end
- SummerSlam: Championship
• If SummerSlam takes place before August 7th:
- SummerSlam is replaced as the championship game by whatever PPV takes place between August 7th and August 29th, following all the same scheduling rules for that PPV
• If there is no PPV between August 7th and August 29th:
- August 13th: Playoffs end
- August 16th: Championship match begins, played as a two week game the same way as the playoffs
- August 27th: Championship match ends
If anyone has any questions, please ask me. Good luck to everyone this season!
