WWE tried to get another major musician for Summerslam
Added 2021-08-19 18:06:49 +0000 UTCWWE has had terrible luck at landing celebrities for Summerslam, at no fault of their own.
As far back as the spring, Fightful learned that WWE had hoped that Cardi B would host or be involved with Summerslam, even using one of her songs as the theme for the show. However, her pregnancy effectively put an end to that, according to WWE sources. PWInsider reported today that Mike Tyson was contacted to do the Summerslam open, but the deal could not be reached.
In addition to that, Fightful learned that Megan Thee Stallion was also planned for a spot involving Bianca Belair for Summerslam. However, WWE sources indicated they WWE thought it was a done deal, but were informed last weekend it wouldn't be happening, which was still the case as of this morning. We weren't given a reason why, and we've reached out to Megan Thee Stallion for comment.

2021-08-20 20:16:15 +0000 UTCSasha has already crossed over. I’d recon there’s some people who don’t watch wrestling that have heard of her

2021-08-20 00:03:49 +0000 UTCYou kid. But I’d mark out.
2021-08-19 23:55:31 +0000 UTCI think it would have been awesome. Bianca has what it takes to get crossover appeal in mainstream media (as does Sasha Banks, Sonya Deville, and a few others) ... this would have been dope but I can see it maybe down the line

2021-08-19 20:08:07 +0000 UTCMegan would be a good get for a spot later down the line. Hopefully the door isn’t completely closed.
2021-08-19 20:04:59 +0000 UTCI second this!

2021-08-19 18:13:44 +0000 UTCThe Bianca spot and the Cardi B segment wouldn't be related, Meg would've done Bianca entrance.

2021-08-19 18:12:46 +0000 UTCMeg The Stallion & Bianca is a good pair if Cardi was unavailable, hope we can see that possibly in future
2021-08-19 18:10:45 +0000 UTCI suggest one Limp Bizkit
