3 matches which shouldn't be booked at SummerSlam

2017 WWE SummerSlam
SummerSlam 2017 had its moments!

SummerSlam season is finally here. In just little over a month, WWE will present its 31st edition of SummerSlam live at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn on August 19. SummerSlam is the second biggest event of the year after WrestleMania.

SummerSlam is a perfect stage for dream matches. Over the past few decades, we have seen so many dream matches take place. Just to name a few; Brock Lesnar vs Randy Orton and AJ Styles vs John Cena.

However last year, WWE gave us matches no one wanted to see. We saw Jinder Mahal take on Shinsuke Nakamura for the WWE championship, John Cena take on Baron Corbin in another boring feud, and we saw AJ Styles continue his underwhelming feud with Kevin Owens. In 2016 we also saw Dean Ambrose defend his WWE title against Dolph Ziggler in a match few were interested in.

Coming to this year's event WWE must ensure that it delivers a thrilling show as WrestleMania underwhelmed and disappointed this year. WWE could give us dream matches at this year's show with matches like Daniel Bryan vs The Miz and AJ Styles vs Samoa Joe.

WWE must not give us matches and feuds not worthy of SummerSlam.

Here's a look at 3 matches that shouldn't happen at 'The Biggest Event of the Summer', regardless of how bad management wants them to happen.


#3 Dolph Ziggler vs Drew McIntyre for the Intercontinental Championship

Drew McIntyre defeated Seth Rollins recently

Dolph Ziggler has been champion for a month now but I still question WWE's tactic of making him the Intercontinental Champion. Ziggler won the title with the help of his buddy Drew McIntyre, and has held onto it thus far courtesy of McIntyre.

Recent reports and rumors from top analysts suggest that McIntyre is in line for a huge push and is expected to turn on Dolph and move onto bigger things. McIntyre vs Ziggler is one of the rumored matches heading into SummerSlam. However, this is a match that shouldn't happen on a stage like SummerSlam.

With all due respect McIntyre and Ziggler are two talented wrestlers and can put on a great show, but McIntyre's character needs more work. McIntyre is still new to the main roster and WWE shouldn't rush with his push. WWE should slowly build him up for an Intercontinental title reign. SummerSlam is too soon for his coronation.

#2 Seth Rollins vs Jason Jordan

Jordan isn't ready for Rollins

Seth Rollins is currently without a feud right now. He's out of the Universal Title picture and looks to have moved on from his feud witth Dolph Ziggler over the Intercontinental championship.

With that said, The Architect is without a match for SummerSlam. Jason Jordan is cleared to return and is expected to feud with Rollins upon return.

Jordan is one of the most overrated and hated superstars on the roster and Rollins is completely the opposite. Rollins has done so much since Jordan was injured and he deserves a big match for SummerSlam.

A feud with Jordan isn't worthy of a stage like SummerSlam. Jordan was already struggling to find his footing on the Raw roster and pairing him with Rollins will expose Jordan's weaknesses.

Rollins should have a high-profile match at SummerSlam. A feud with Braun Strowman or Finn Balor would be fun to watch.

#1 Roman Reigns vs Brock Lesnar for the Universal Championship

N
Not again

This match must not happen at SummerSlam by any means necessary. We don't want to relive the catastrophe that was their match at WrestleMania.Their main event at WrestleMania was one of the worst matches of the year so far. The crowd will definitely riot if this match closes the show.

The fans have had enough of Roman Reigns in the spotlight and are sick of Lesnar's reign. WWE thinks that the crowd will cheer Reigns as the fans are tired of Lesnar's reign. But, I can assure you that Reigns is the last person the fans want to defeat Lesnar.

The in-ring work will be outclassed by the WWE Championship match and the reaction to this match will be awful to watch.

WWE has better stars to dethrone Lesnar, Strowman and Rollins are just the perfect candidates to defeat Lesnar. However, in spite of what the fans think, this match is destined to main-event SummerSlam.
