Seth Rollins, the current Universal Champion, is on a roll right now. The Architect has been giving us some of the best performances week in and week out, unlike some of the former Universal Champions. Rollins will team up with the RAW Women's Champion Becky Lynch to fight Baron Corbin and Lacey Evans in a mixed tag team match for both the titles at Extreme Rules. However, one would certainly feel that this clash is merely a filler feud before SummerSlam 2019 - WWE's biggest event of the summer.
Since the ratings are in a downward spiral, WWE might pull all of their big guns out for SummerSlam, at least as an effort to restore the ratings back to normal before SmackDown LIVE moves to FOX on October. Hence, in this list, we will take a look at a few of the possible challengers Rollins may have to endure at SummerSlam 2019.
#5. Drew McIntyre
It has been more than a year since Drew McIntyre made his return to the WWE main roster. Still, he has not yet received a singles title opportunity - neither on RAW nor on SmackDown LIVE. It is still baffling to see the Scottish Psychopath being used as a henchman for someone else and not having a solo run on his own. By making McIntyre side with other generic heels, WWE is simply not giving the fans any reason to care about him.
It is high time that WWE started using him in the right way. Since Seth Rollins will be looking for an opponent after dealing with Baron Corbin, McIntyre could get his main event call at SummerSlam 2019.
#4. The Miz
It is sad to say that WWE has not used The Miz well after his babyface-turn a few months ago. Sure, the "A-lister" had a hot WrestleMania 35 feud against Shane McMahon. But now, he is nothing but an afterthought. It is safe to say that WWE has dropped the balls with one of its best talkers on the mic right now.
The Miz needs an opportunity to redeem himself and a Universal title match at SummerSlam 2019 (against Seth Rollins) would be a great way to start it. The Miz does not need to win the match but a marquee matchup at the biggest event of the summer would definitely help The Miz to kickstart his career. It could even help him to turn heel on Rollins, finally allowing him to do what he does the best in WWE - speak frankly about the wrestlers.
#3. Brock Lesnar
Like it or not, Brock Lesnar still holds the Money in the Bank contract that allows him to cash in on the Universal Champion or the WWE Champion any time he wants. Since WWE would like to bring back some of the big guns in time for SummerSlam 2019, Brock Lesnar could announce his cash in at SummerSlam 2019.
After squandering the men's Money in the Bank briefcase for the last two successive years, WWE would be looking forward to not wasting the briefcase this year. Brock Lesnar might appear on the RAW after Extreme Rules to announce his cash in at SummerSlam 2019. Even if he does not announce his cash in, there is still a huge chance for the Beast Incarnate to cash in at the event. Hence, Lesnar is always a threat for the World Champion.
#2. Heel AJ Styles
AJ Styles has just turned heel on Ricochet on the last episode of RAW. Styles may challenge the high flyer for the United States title at Extreme Rules. However, if Styles fails to win the title, a rematch between Styles and Rollins should take place at SummerSlam.
The dream match between Rollins and Styles took place at Money in the Bank 2019. Even though the clash was brilliant, it missed a vital ingredient - a fully fledged heel. The clash then was between two of the biggest babyfaces on RAW. However, as mentioned earlier, things are a bit different now.
AJ Styles, with Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson on his corner, is a huge force to deal with. The club was the reason why Styles' feud against Roman Reigns and John Cena was one of the best WWE feuds in recent years
#1. John Cena
On a recent interview with TMZ Sports, the legendary WWE wrestler John Cena said that he has been giving serious thoughts about hanging up his boots. However, most of the WWE fans want him to break Ric Flair's official record of sixteen world title reigns. Cena is also at sixteen world title reigns and one more title reign would help Cena breach the record.
Seth Rollins and John Cena had a great SummerSlam match at SummerSlam 2015. The then WWE Champion Rollins and the then United States Champion Cena clashed in a "Winner-takes-all" match. Cena came up short in that match due to an unlikely interference from the guest host Jon Stewart.
Even if Cena were to lose this match, it would give a solid rub to Rollins' Universal title run, since the fans are tired of his rivalry against Baron Corbin. It is a win-win situation for WWE if Rollins were to go against Cena at SummerSlam 2019.
