This year’s Summerslam will be different from previous years events owing to the fact that the event is rated TV14. DirecTV first advertised the event as TV-14 and now other others have followed suit as viewers are warned about mature content.
According to a report by Brad Shepard, WWE issued this change in ratings as Summerslam might get very violent this year. Here is what he said:
According to a source in #WWE, the reason #WWE SummerSlam is advertised as TV-14 is because the show is “going to get violent.” I’m told blood will be shed, and also something big is being planned for the Daniel Bryan/Rowan/Roman Reigns storyline.
We wonder how WWE will be booking the event and which matches will be violent for the event to earn the TV-14 rating.
