Dogs Days of Summer are Here, they come in all shapes and sizes, they make much more for the Summer Olympic Games. With the games coming to a close next sunday, it's a last chance moment for athletes to win a medal and go home with their heads held high. The United States has now won twenty-six gold medals, twenty-one sliver, and twenty-two bronze, for a grand total of sixty-nine medals. Some of my favorite events at the Olympics are Track & Field, it's fun to watch them dash for gold, and this Sunday at WWE SummerSlam live from Brooklyn at the Barclays Center, someone will be chasing gold. The most important match other than Brock Lesnar vs Randy Orton is Finn Balor vs Seth Rollins to determine the first ever WWE Universal Champion. Let's not forget about NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn II, where we'll get Samoa Joe vs Shinsuke Nakamura for the NXT Championship and I'll have full coverage of this historic weekend because if you fought last year was fun, there's no telling what they will do this year.
