The stage is set for SummerSlam, and we are less than twenty four hours away from the show. Considering the card is stacked with some impressive matches, we could expect one heck of a show this year.
It will be the thirty second edition of SummerSlam. The show is set to take place at the Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, Ontario. The city will host the Biggest Party of the Summer for the second time.
Since SummerSlam is the second biggest pay-per-view of the company, some colossal names are scheduled to be part of the show. Goldberg, Trish Status, Brock Lesnar, Randy Orton, Becky Lynch, and many more will fight in Toronto. Despite having some big names, one notable name is missing this year. Drew McIntyre, who is certainly one of the biggest full-time Superstars of the company, doesn't have a match at SummerSlam.
Ten matches are scheduled to take place at Scotiabank Arena but it will not be surprising if WWE adds some more matches at the last minute. Here we discuss three ways Drew McIntyre could become part of SummerSlam this year.
#3 McIntyre interferes in the match between Shane McMahon and Kevin Owens
Shane McMahon will fight Kevin Owens at SummerSlam and the match was finalised a couple of weeks ago. The feud has been interesting as the former Universal Champion has turned into a captivating babyface. Moreover, Owens will put his WWE career on the line as he will quit the company if he loses to the Best in the World.
Since McIntyre has an association with Shane, the former has been involved in this rivalry. As a matter of fact, McIntyre recently fought Owens on SmackDown Live where the Prize Fighter picked up a victory. Shane has been a spectacular heel and it will not be surprising if he uses a dirty trick to beat Kevin Owens. Therefore, the Scottish Psychopath could interrupt the match between Shane and Owens.
#2 Drew McIntyre faces Cedric Alexander
Drew McIntyre and Cedric Alexander have been tussling with each other. The Scottish Psychopath had a Tag Team Match at Extreme Rules where he teamed up with Shane McMahon to fight Roman Reigns and The Undertaker. One week after Extreme Rules, McIntyre faced the former Cruiserweight Champion Cedric Alexander. While it looked like an easy victory for McIntyre, it didn't happen. Surprisingly, Cedric pinned McIntyre and made a massive statement.
The former NXT Champion was furious after the shocking loss to Cedric Alexander, and he dismantled the latter at RAW Reunion. Furthermore, the two men also crossed paths in the past couple of weeks. Though they were set to lock horns on RAW this week, it didn't occur as the Guest Referee Kurt Angle was attacked by The Fiend.
McIntyre never got the chance to avenge the loss to Cedric Alexander but he might get the opportunity at SummerSlam. If the two men face each other in Toronto, it could turn out to be a stupendous match.
#1 McIntyre and Elias team up to challenge Big E and Xavier Woods
The New Day has been on a roll, as every member of the group holds a belt. While Kofi Kingston is the current WWE Champion, Big E and Xavier Woods are the current SmackDown Tag Team Champions. The New Day members won the twin belts at Extreme Rules when they dethroned Daniel Bryan and Erick Rowan.
Although the SmackDown Tag Team Championship was defended at Extreme Rules, it is not scheduled to be on the line at SummerSlam, but we could see a twist. In all honesty, the Blue Brand doesn't have credible challengers. Heavy Machinery has not been on TV for weeks, while Daniel Bryan and Erick Rowan are involved in a different storyline.
Drew McIntyre and Elias were scheduled to face Big E and Xavier Woods two weeks ago on the blue brand, however, the match was cancelled. The company might have scrapped the match to save it for the Biggest Party of the Summer. It will not be surprising if McIntyre and Elias team up to face the current SmackDown Tag Team Champions at the Scotiabank Arena.
