This Sunday, WWE will host a 30-minute online pre-show prior to Summerslam going live on pay-per-view, featuring WWE United States Champion Santino Marella vs. Antonio Cesaro.
It’s worth noting that prior to Tuesday’s WWE SmackDown tapings from Austin, Texas, WWE taped a match for the premiere episode of the new Saturday Morning Slam television show, which will air on August 25th (after SummerSlam).
During the match (Kofi Kingston vs. Heath Slater), Santino Marella came out to do commentary – and he had the US title belt with him.
While it’s possible that WWE could edit out Santino’s title belt in the event that he loses the gold to Cesaro, the fact that Santino brought his belt with him is a good indication that he’ll retain this Sunday night.
