With Extreme Rules behind us, we are officially on the road to Summerslam. The end of the Iron Man match on Sunday may have left a sour taste in the mouths of the WWE fans at home and more importantly those that paid for their tickets.

Here are four equally amazing potential feuds that we could see going into SummerSlam.

#4 Elias vs. Finn Balor

Both WWE superstars lost in their attempts to qualify for the #1 contender's match next week. But that didn't stop them from putting on a great show.

Finn Balor being the awesome baby face we all know and love. Elias being the dastardly heel we love to hate.What more could you ask for? Finn has been recognized more often to put on a stellar match, but Elias is truely talented in that ring. The guy is entertaining!

They could definitely have a match at Summerslam. It would give both Superstars more time to connect with the fans, through cheers and boos too. Next week, have Finn Balor walk to the ring to reflect on how he came up short in the triple threat match and how after every loss, he's still standing and he's not quite done in his quest for gold.

Have Elias come from behind and hit Finn over the back with his Guitar. Have Elias say that Finn doesn't even deserve to be in the WWE, let alone have another title shot. He had to relinquish the Universal Championship, he came up short in the Intercontinental Championship ladder match at Wrestlemania, he should give it up. (His words not mine).

This is just a taste of what they are capable of doing together, imagine what they would do with more time.

You could go so many places with this! They could fight in a No Holds Barred match at Summerslam to determine the next challenger for the Intercontinental Championship. The winner of that match will go one on one with Dolph Ziggler for the title at Hell in a Cell.

Elias working over Finn with his methodical strength and heelish tactics. Finn working to make a comeback in what seems to be a greater challenge than what he had previously anticipated. Eventually Elias gets cocky and lets his guard down.

Shotgun dropkick into the corner, Coup De Grace, 1, 2, 3. Elias looks strong after losing, Finn goes on to fight for the title he came so close to winning at Wrestlemania 34, everybody wins.

#3 Seth Rollins vs. Drew McIntyre

Much like the previous pitch, these two Raw superstars, unfortunately, came up short filling the slot for the #1 contenders match next week. With McIntyre appearing to break away from Dolph Ziggler, he needs someone to really put his potential to the test to show he can get the job done on his own.

And who better to feud with than the man he recently screwed over, Seth Rollins. This will be good for Seth too because he is done chasing the Intercontinental Championship for now.

These two can put on an even better match than the one they had last week if it's just the two of them going head to head with no outside interference. Not only that but I'm willing to bet that if they did have a match with just the two of them, it would leave the fans wanting more.

Have them attack each other from behind each week leading up to SummerSlam, started by Seth from anger of being screwed out of winning his title back. At SummerSlam, Seth putting McIntyre over in a breathtaking performance and an all-around show stealer of a match, would cause Seth to remain over in defeat. But it would also propel McIntyre to the moon and he'll be ready to challenge for the Universal Championship in no time.

Imagine Drew getting a Universal Title opportunity in the near future after that, making this potential feud a must for WWE.

#2 Sasha Banks vs Bayley

Wait! Just hear me out okay? Picture it: Sasha Banks and Bayley just displayed the match of their careers with 10+ other matches on the card and they completely blew the roof off the place... in 2018!! Now come back down to reality, it's most likely not going to happen but they can get pretty close to it.

They have proven that they can go the distance before in NXT. It could be good for both of their character's story lines and it puts the Women's Champion on notice, showing the competition that's out there and bringing light to the target on her back.

Picture it in an even better scenario: One could be a legit heel and the other, an established babyface. Don't get me wrong heel vs heel and babyface vs babyface matches are great and all but the babyface vs heel dynamic draws the most polarizing crowd reactions ever!

Have Sasha Banks get payback on Bayley for the beat down she received three weeks ago, holding nothing back. Only to have Bayley finally overcome Sasha at Summerslam in an amazing match exceeding everyone's expectations. Then trade Sasha to Smackdown Live to feud with the likes of Becky Lynch, Charlotte, Naomi, and Asuka.

Imagine if they tore it up like this on the Main Roster!

#1 Mojo Rawley vs Tyler Breeze

On paper, it doesn't seem that good because of the way they are booked, but don't forget that Mojo Rawley can be very explosive in that ring.

Tyler Breeze can put on a great tag team match, but getting him away from Breezango while his partner is healing, might be the best thing to do to really showcase the depth of talent on Monday nights despite people like Samoa Joe, Sheamus, Cesaro and the Miz going to Smackdown Live.

This could help WWE in many ways, making a legitimate threat out of someone who rarely gets airtime. Bringing new faces into the mid-card scene on Raw.

Tyler Breeze has a match. In comes Mojo Rawley off the distraction causing Tyler Breeze to lose the match. The next week have Tyler Breeze attack Mojo Rawley from behind, showing a more aggressive side to his character.

We get to SummerSlam, have this be a back and forth high profile match with Mojo Rawley's explosive power against Tyler Breeze's quick flamboyant style. Ultimately, having Mojo Rawley's hand be raised in the end taking nothing away from Tyler Breeze's amazing performance.

Breeze even gets a standing ovation after the match. Making both guys look strong at the end of it placing them higher up in the mid-card.
