5 Epic Matches WWE Could Book For SummerSlam

WWE's next PPV on the line - Extreme Rules takes place on the 15th of July, 2018 and judging by the match card of the show, the fans look disappointed.

The only saving grace now, however, is the biggest party of the summer, i.e., SummerSlam. The PPV is scheduled to take place in Brooklyn, New York for the fourth time in a row.

While multiple rumors are speculating that Brock Lesnar might not wrestle at the show, the company needs to pull off something main-event worthy this time around to invoke interest among the crowd.

Since WWE has a lot of credible stars ruling the business, it wouldn't be hard for the creative team to book some incredible matches for the show.

So, without further ado, let's dive deep and predict the five biggest matches WWE could be booking for SummerSlam this year.

#1 Daniel Bryan, The Undertaker and Kane Vs. SAnitY

If history is anything to go by, then there is a possibility

Now, this may not be the match you would want to see the Undertaker in at SummerSlam, but the history between these superstars could perfectly fit in against an evil side like SAnitY.

The NXT faction needs a strong showing at a major PPV and considering that this could be the last time Undertaker wrestles at a show like SummerSlam, there could be a possibility.

Kane's surprising return to team up with Daniel Bryan has gravitated a lot of attention to the tag-division and joining hands with The Phenom for one night only could provide them with enough momentum.

A possible feud with SAnitY could give WWE programming a boost in terms of rating and could help the newly debuted faction in adapting to the main roster.

Undertaker's days as a professional performer are getting numbered, and participating in a six-man tag-team match could be the most productive thing he does at the show.

#2 Kevin Owens Vs. 'The Demon King' Finn Balor

As much as I want to see The Undertaker square off against the Demon King, my mind and facts suggest otherwise.

Finn Balor's athletic ability has earned him tremendous adulation within the squared circle but his recent booking has been beyond terrible.

While the former NXT Champion continues to perform well, there's no denying that he deserves a strong feud that could elevate his momentum.

Another superstar that is being booked terribly is Kevin Owens. The former Face of America has been reduced to a victim of Braun Strowman's weekly antics.

His strong, cocky, and arrogant persona is beginning to fade out and both the superstars need something memorable to reclaim their top positions.

A feud could be just around the horizon and if WWE decides to bring The Demon King for SummerSlam, facing a familiar rival in Kevin Owens would be the match to go.

#3 Jeff Hardy Vs. Shinsuke Nakamura Vs. Randy Orton Vs. Andrade 'Cien' Almas for the United States Championship

Jeff is garnering a lot of attention with his gimmick

The Charismatic Enigma is on a roll lately; having defeated the likes of Jinder Mahal, Randy Orton, Shelton Benjamin, and The Miz in the process.

The United States Champion is currently tied up in a feud with Shinsuke Nakamura, a man who possesses an equal blend of talent and charisma.

Both the superstars will lock horns at Extreme Rules which could possibly extend till SummerSlam. Considering that WWE would be looking to make the show as extravagant as possible, there could be a couple of other superstars added to this high-octane contest.

With Randy Orton rumoured to return for the show, the Viper could invoke a rematch clause and get in the way of Nakamura.

A more exciting possibility would be the addition of Andrade 'Cien' Almas who is directionless within the company, as of late.

A significant push to the mid-card could set things on fire on the blue brand and give us an iconic bout that would be remembered for years to come.

#4 Seth Rollins Vs. Braun Strowman

Currently, two of the hottest superstars in the world of professional wrestling, Seth Rollins and Strowman have all the credentials to steal the show at any event they perform.

With The Architect's high-flying abilities clashing with Strowman's monstrous strength, we could have a game changer in our hands.

Both the superstars are top competitors and if provided with a well-crafted story, these two can knock it out of the park.

Since Dean Ambrose is rumored to return by the time SummerSlam rolls, it would be a perfect opportunity to backstab his brother, while he is close to pinning the Monster Among Men.

This moment could provide Rollins with enough momentum and would also help in protecting Strowman. Let's hope this happens sooner rather than later.

#5 A.J. Styles Vs. Samoa Joe for the WWE Championship

If there's anyone who feels that Rusev will knock AJ Styles out at Extreme Rules and win the WWE Championship is surely being manipulated.

The Phenomenal One is enjoying a solid run with the title. However, a strong opponent in Samoa Joe could be awaiting his presence at the biggest party of the summer.

While the Samoan Submission Machine made his intentions clear to Styles early, there's been no significant tease as of late to confirm the bout is happening.

SummerSlam 2018 feels like the right time to kick-start this feud and could result in a career-defining clash between the two on the blue brand.

Both the superstars have been clashing at live events which only justifies that a solid feud is on the way.

Joe needs a credible feud and facing the WWE Champion would catapult him to the top of the food chain and assist him in ruling SmackDown Live.
