WWE is said to be pulling out all of the stops that it possibly can to make SummerSlam the biggest wrestling show of the year, thanks to the return of live crowds.

We've seen evidence of this recently with John Cena returning to WWE at Money in the Bank to confront Roman Reigns and then appearing on both the following Monday Night RAW and SmackDown Live.

WWE have also brought back Goldberg, Keith Lee and Finn Balor in the last week or so who all look to be making a big impact heading into the biggest show of the summer.

But there are a few more WWE Superstars waiting in the back that they should be looking to bring back as soon as they can to make SummerSlam as successful as possible. Here they are.

The Man Becky Lynch is arguably the biggest babyface the company has had in the last few years and she's without a doubt the biggest star that the women's division has produced.

There have been rumors that she's gearing up for a ring return, having been spotted backstage a few times and also spotted training in the gym. Lynch's return to SummerSlam is an absolute must for WWE to make the show feel as big as it possibly can.

#4. WWE needs Brock Lesnar to return for SummerSlam

People thought WWE was going to do Bobby Lashley vs. Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam, but that's not the case now that Goldberg has appeared to challenge him instead.

However, The Beast Incarnate Brock Lesnar has been away from WWE for some time now, so should be due a return any minute now. Especially if rumors are to be believed. WWE certainly can't put on the biggest show possible without one of the biggest starts they've ever had in Lesnar.


#3. The Fiend Bray Wyatt picks a new target for SummerSlam

The Fiend Bray Wyatt hasn't been seen since this year's WrestleMania after losing to Randy Orton. Given that he's been one of the focal points of WWE programming after the last year and a half, it only makes sense that they finally bring him back for SummerSlam.

The great thing about it as well is that WWE can just have The Fiend return whenever they want, have him attack whoever they want, and they have a ready-made match for SummerSlam between two hand-picked WWE Superstars.

#2. Sasha Banks would bring much-needed star power to SummerSlam

Someone else who would make SummerSlam bigger just by being involved is Sasha Banks. Whilst Becky Lynch might still be the biggest star in women's wrestling, The Boss Sasha Banks can certainly give her a run for her money coming in a very close second.

Banks has broken into mainstream pop culture thanks to her appearance in Disney+ television show, The Mandalorian. She also had a superb SmackDown Women's Title run before losing her title at WrestleMania and taking a leave of absence from WWE since then.


#1. Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson electrifies SummerSlam

People have been wanting Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson to return to WWE to face Roman Reigns for some time now and if that's ever going to happen, WWE could really do with sewing those seeds as soon as possible.

They could do this by having The Rock show up at SummerSlam to confront Roman Reigns over his recent actions. Having The Rock involved in SummerSlam in some way would prove that WWE really were committed to making it the biggest show they possibly could.
