5 Matches that should happen at WWE SummerSlam 2019

We are more than a month away from the biggest WWE show of the summer - SummerSlam. After WrestleMania 35, WWE has been building a lot of feuds towards the 2019 edition of SummerSlam. WWE has been fixated on SummerSlam so much that we got a plethora of rematches in the PPVs after WrestleMania 35.

Since there is a general decline in the number of viewers after WrestleMania 35, WWE would be looking forward to bringing in some of the biggest names in its arsenal to make SummerSlam a visual treat.

Hence, without any further delay, let us take a look at five possible matches that should happen at SummerSlam 2019.

#5 Seth Rollins vs. Brock Lesnar for the Universal Championship

Seth Rollins defeated Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 35.

A few days ago, we compiled a list of potential challengers for the Universal Championship at SummerSlam and everyone in that list had a reason to challenge the Universal Champion Seth Rollins for his Universal title at SummerSlam. However, it seems like most of those Superstars will have other duties in that night (more on that later). The only Superstar from that list who is still lurking around the Universal title is Mr. Money in the Bank Brock Lesnar.

Vince McMahon will be keen to bestow a huge role on Brock Lesnar during SummerSlam. Lesnar may reveal that he will cash in his Money in the Bank contract at SummerSlam 2019. Earlier this year, Rollins defeated Lesnar at WrestleMania 35 to become the new Universal Champion. Since then, Lesnar did not make any appearances in WWE until Money in the Bank 2019, where he inserted himself into the main event and win the Money in the Bank briefcase.

If Seth Rollins could go over Lesnar clean, that would give some serious legitimacy to Rollins' reign as the Universal Champion.

#4 The Club vs. Ricochet and The Viking Raiders

On the previous episode of RAW, we saw AJ Styles turning heel on "Ricochet" and attacking the current United States Champion with Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson in his corner. One could understand how urgent it is for Ricochet to even the odds by having two guys in his corner too.

Flashback to NXT - Ricochet and The Viking Raiders (then known as the War Raiders) were great friends. The three of them were on the winning side of the main event of the second NXT TakeOver: Wargames in 2018, along with Pete Dunne. Currently, the Viking Raiders are booked as strong tweeners and could help Ricochet even the odds against three guys who skipped NXT to go to the main roster.

It is imperative that Ricochet and Styles will have one more clash before SummerSlam where the Viking Raiders may make the save for Ricochet, thus announcing their allegiance.

#3 Kofi Kingston vs Randy Orton for the WWE Championship

There was a heated rivalry between the current WWE Champion Kofi Kingston and The Viper, Randy Orton ten years ago - both on and off-screen. Orton was the top heel of the company back then and Kingston was still a newcomer.

In 2019, WWE could easily book a WWE Championship match between Kingston and Orton. Kingston has overcome almost all challengers from the heel side of Smackdown Live. Now, at Extreme Rules, Kingston has to face RAW's Samoa Joe to extend his maiden world title reign to at least SummerSlam 2019. If WWE is looking for a challenger for Kingston, Orton is an automatic choice since he is still the top heel on Smackdown Live and scoring a win over the Apex Predator would legitimize Kofi's current reign further.

Since Kingston has shown us his darker side on the previous episode of Smackdown Live, we could see some extreme promos involving both Orton and Kingston leading to SummerSlam 2019.

#2 Becky Lynch vs Ronda Rousey for the RAW Women's Championship

We could finally see a singles match between Ronda Rousey and Becky Lynch.

When we said WWE will bring in big names for SummerSlam, it includes women wrestling as well. At WrestleMania 35, Becky Lynch overcame the then RAW Women's Champion Ronda Rousey and the then Smackdown Live Women's Champion Charlotte Flair to win the first-ever women's WrestleMania main event and become both the RAW and Smackdown Women's champion. While Charlotte got a chance to take her Smackdown Live Women's title back at Money in the Bank 2019, we never saw Rousey after the biggest wrestling event of 2019. Rousey has been taking a temporary break from WWE and is expected to return soon.

So what better way to make the return for "the Baddest woman on the planet" than by destroying the women who pinned her for the first time in WWE? Similar to Seth Rollins defeating Lesnar, a win over Ronda Rousey could help legitimize Becky's reign since she has only defended her title against Lacey Evans so far.

#1 The Undertaker vs Drew McIntyre

A rivalry with The Undertaker could help Drew McIntyre regain his lost momentum.

On the previous episode of RAW, The Undertaker shocked both Drew McIntyre and Shane McMahon by making a surprise entrance. Even though Shane looked terrified at the sight of The Deadman, The Scottish Psychopath Drew McIntyre wanted to catch the bull by its horn. McIntyre was convinced by Shane to evacuate the ring before the Deadman made it to the ring.

During his promo, The Undertaker addressed his teammate Roman Reigns and his opponent Shane McMahon, but not Drew McIntyre. As of now, The Undertaker is not taking McIntyre as a serious threat. However, at Extreme Rules, if McIntyre chipped in a win for his team, the Phenom might take note of him, which could consequently result in a singles match between the two at SummerSlam. If the Deadman puts McIntyre over at SummerSlam, it could help McIntyre big time to propel his career into the main event.
