Production

When the event was first announced, the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA) was also part of the event's co-production. Therefore, there was a NWA-sanctioned match scheduled to be on the card: Nick Aldis defending his NWA Worlds Heavyweight Championship against a Villain Enterprises member of Marty Scurll's choosing. [2] However, on July 24, ROH and NWA ended their relationship agreement and the match was officially canceled. [3]

Storylines

Summer Supercard featured professional wrestling matches, involving different wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds, plots, and storylines that played out on ROH's television programs. Wrestlers portrayed villains or heroes as they follow a series of events that build tension and culminate in a wrestling match or series of matches.

Reception

Stuart Carapola of Pro Wrestling Insider praised the majority of the matches, overall calling the show "terrific". [4] Justin Knipper of Wrestling Observer Newsletter stated "this was a decent show, but the standout match featured six guys who aren’t even under contract to ROH." He went on to say that card "often felt flat, probably because of the stuffy booking, stale wrestling and a modest crowd." The bleachers in the arena were also described as "empty". [5]
