SummerSlam, one of WWE's 'big four' pay-per-views along with WrestleMania, Royal Rumble and Survivor Series is scheduled for August 11, 2019. This year's event will be live from the Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
Even though the event is still around a month away, speculations and predictions for August 11 have already started making rounds all over the internet. While there have been a few underwhelming feuds going on in WWE in the past month or so (Seth Rollins vs Baron Corbin, for instance) I don't see WWE carrying any of them into SummerSlam 2019. Also, with increasing criticism and competition, plus the likes of Eric Bischoff and Paul Heyman taking over SmackDown and Raw as the new Executive Directors, expect WWE to put together a blockbuster show for August 11.
Well, WWE has already announced 3 blockbuster matches for the event so far and in this article, we take a look at 3 other huge matches WWE could be planning for SummerSlam.
#3 Shane McMahon vs Kevin Owens
After ripping Shane McMahon in inarguably one of the greatest promos of all time on the previous episode of SmackDown, Kevin Owens attacked the former SmackDown Commissioner this week on the Blue Brand.
Thus, one could see WWE beautifully laying down the bread crumbs for an intense feud between the duo leading to a matchup at WWE's biggest event of the summer.
A feud between the Prize Fighter and Shane O'mac is sure to grab a lot of attention if WWE continues to proceed with the same intensity.
On another note, Shane McMahon has been heavily featuring in some of the marquee feuds of the company for the last few months (Owens was bang on point) and thus it would be fitting for him to take the backseat by putting over Kevin Owens in this recent feud.
#2 AJ Styles vs Ricochet for the US Championship
AJ Styles defeated Ricochet to become the new US champion at Extreme Rules. However, it is not over between the duo.
Well, Ricochet joined forces with The Usos, this week on Raw to clash against Robert Roode and The Revival in a 2 of 3 falls match and while the babyfaces went on to pick up a win, it was not exactly a happy ending for them. Yes, The Bullet Club paid a surprise visit after the match to lay waste to Ricochet and stood tall over the former US champion to end the segment.
Thus, it seems WWE is keen on prolonging this feud at least till SummerSlam and a potential rematch between the duo could be on the cards for August 11. And rightfully so, given their impressive match at Extreme Rules, WWE fans won't mind another mouthwatering bout at SummerSlam.
#1 Finn Balor vs Bray Wyatt
After weeks and weeks of speculation, Bray Wyatt finally returned this week on Raw to attack and maul Finn Balor and a potential feud leading to a blockbuster match at SummerSlam seem a no brainer.
On another note, The Boss of the Balor Club has reportedly asked some time off after SummerSlam 2019 and if reports are to be believed, WWE has granted him the same. Thus, it could be one of the reasons why he dropped the Intercontinental title to Shinsuke Nakamura at Extreme Rules.
Furthermore, with Finn likely to be off WWE TV after August 11, WWE could have him put over Wyatt at the biggest WWE event of the summer. Well, come what may, a blockbuster dream feud looks to be on the cards for the upcoming weeks and it is sure to generate a lot of buzzes, plus it would certainly boost the dwindling viewership.
