August 19th, 2018, this is the date when WWE's second biggest pay-per-view of the year – SummerSlam is going to happen. Now after Extreme Rules more and more fans are waiting to see this pay-per-view because, over the years, we have seen some great matches in this event.
Follow Sportskeeda for the latest WWE news, rumors, and all other wrestling news.
Every major title will be defended on this show and this includes Lesnar’s Universal Championship as well. Not many matches have been confirmed for the show but still, there are some matches remaining to be confirmed. We all know that SummerSlam is going to be WWE's next successful pay-per-view, but we don’t know which match will headline SummerSlam 2018.
The match-card is full of the likes of Roman Reigns, Bobby Lashley, Seth Rollins, Brock Lesnar and many more. But, the thing to consider is that the main-event alone can sell the tickets for the show so it is something that should be the best. Today we are presenting 3 potential main event matches for SummerSlam 2018.

#3 Brock Lesnar vs Bobby Lashley vs Roman Reigns (WWE Universal Championship)
At Extreme Rules, we saw a great match between Bobby Lashley and Roman Reigns where Lashley defeated Reigns.
This is not the only great thing that happened on this show, RAW general manager Kurt Angle said that Lesnar must show up on next night at RAW. If he doesn't, then he will be stripped of his WWE Universal title.
Next RAW, Paul Hayman promised Angle that Lesnar will defend his title at SummerSlam. After that, GM announced two triple threat matches where the winners of these two matches will face each other to determine the No.1 contender for the Universal Title.
Next Monday Night Raw, Lashley and Reigns won their respective triple threat matches and are going to face each other once again and this match will decide Lesnar’s SummerSlam opponent. Now I think that this match isn't going to have any winner and we will see a triple threat match between these three wrestlers.
Why this match could happen: Next week in RAW during Lashley vs Reigns, Brock might return just to attack these two stars thinking that this will cancel the match at SummerSlam. Then, Kurt can shatter the dreams of Lesnar by announcing that we going to have a triple-threat match at SummerSlam. If this is not going to happen then maybe, just maybe, Lashley vs Reigns might end with a double count out.
#2 The Miz vs Daniel Bryan
On this week's edition of SmackDown Live, Daniel Bryan and The Miz started their feud. Bryan attacked Miz from behind during a Miz TV segment. Now, almost everyone is thinking that this match will happen at SummerSlam but nobody is thinking of this match could main event the show.
We all know how good The Miz is when he starts cutting promos on the microphone. Also, we cannot deny the fact that Bryan is one of the most hardworking performers on the roster right now. Miz and Bryan can give us a value for money match at SummerSlam considering how good they are in the ring. This is a dream match for which the fans have been waiting for many years and now it is finally happening.
Why this match could happen: What we saw this week indicates that we are very close to see this bout. Miz can cut a heart-burning promo for Bryan only to get some punches on his face. Or he might just attack Bryan with chairs during a segment. This will definitely make their feud strong. This match can main event any pay-per-view and SummerSlam might be the best place for this to happen.
#1 AJ Styles vs. Samoa Joe (WWE Championship)
Nobody can take his/her eyes off from this match if it happens. AJ Styles is one of the most talented babyface in the WWE right now is holding the championship from last year after defeating the then-WWE champion, Jinder Mahal. On the other hand, Samoa Joe is one of the most talented heels right now and he is still waiting to grab his first main roster gold.
At Extreme Rules, AJ and Rusev gave us a great match and now he is alone and needs an opponent to start his feud for SummerSlam and Joe is also waiting for someone to start his feud with someone. So, why not start an epic feud between these two big powerhouses. This match has all the capabilities to main event at ‘The Biggest Party of the Summer’.
Why this match could happen: Next week SmackDown's general manager Paige will announce AJ Styles' SummerSlam Opponent. It's likely that we will multiple contenders will fight for the championship match, similar like what we saw on last Raw. In the past, Joe made his intentions about becoming WWE Champion and he might get a title shot at SummerSlam after winning the No.1 contender match. The PPV is almost one month away from now and WWE needs to speed up their process to make this match official for SummerSlam.
