According to the source WWE wants Summerslam to be a bigger event with a Wrestlemania-like feel. WWE will continue to hold the event in big cities and hope that the idea of Summerslam being a Wrestlemania-like event can catch on.
A problem is that there is only 30 days between the next PPV Night Of Champions and Summerslam. Many people in the company feel that 30 days is not enough to hype the PPV up like Wrestlemania, so they might drop that PPV to have more time to hype it up.

If I recall, back in the day Summerslam was "Wrestlemania of the Summer" when did this change?

NOC is in my top 5 PPV's. If they didn't change it with The Bash (which is a stupid name) then we would at least have a ppv where every title is defended.

Yes, let's have two wrestlemanias. Water down an already watered down event.
Terrible idea.
Wrestlemania is such an overrated event anyway. Your average WM has two good matches, if that.
Everything else is utterly and totally forgettable.
Heck, WMX was one of the most solid of them all, and nobody remembers any match other than the ladder match (which wasn't that spectacular). Nobody remembers the CLASSIC Owen vs Bret confrontation, or Luger winning the title.

Owen Vs Brett was mildly epic! But I will forever hate Lex Luger for letting Miss Elizabeth die. I will never forgive him. And I hope WWE takes the same stance.

they better not get rid of NOC because it is gonna be an amazing night with tht triple threat match for the WWE Championship cuz if they get rid of tht then Cena will have to wait until Summerslam to win the title. Everyone knows hese gonna win and also Hardy will have to wait longer to finnaly win his WH Championship
