#5 Sasha Banks vs Bayley

Bayley beats down Sasha Banks.

After many ups and downs and a long wait, Bayley finally snapped at her former best-friend Sasha Banks and handed her a lethal beatdown. Fans had been anticipated a heel turn for Bayley for quite a while and WWE may have hit the jackpot with a new avatar of "The Hugger."

With the current storyline in place, it is certain that the two superstars will face each other at some point in time. What better than SummerSlam? The rivalry has been teased for more than a year, and Brooklyn can be the place to put an end to it.

WWE has been focussing on Women's Revolution for two years now, and the main event involving two of the best female wrestlers of the company shouldn't come as a surprise.

#4 Daniel Bryan vs The Miz

The most anticipated feud of the year

With the triumphant return of Kane making a save for Daniel Bryan against Bludgeon Brothers, Team Hell No is reunited after five long years. SmackDown Live General Manager, Paige, has booked a match between the two teams for the Tag-Team Championships at Extreme Rules.

While Kane and Bryan are extremely "over" with the fans, it's a little too early to strip Harper and Rowan of the titles. One possible outcome can be The Miz interfering in the match costing Team Hell No the opportunity and setting up a blockbuster clash between him and Bryan.

WWE has been teasing a feud between Bryan and Miz for around two years, and SummerSlam is the best place for the two superstars to finally 1-on-1 against each other.

#3 Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins vs Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre

A Superman Punch to McIntyre

Thanks to interference by Drew McIntyre, Seth Rollins failed to recapture the Intercontinental Championship he lost to Dolph Ziggler a week before. Post-match, Roman Reigns, his SHIELD stablemate, leveled thing up by making the save, thus avoiding a 2-on-1 handicap beatdown on Rollins. Last week too, the two teams faced off against each other, but the match ended in a no contest.

Roman is scheduled to face Bobby Lashley at Extreme Rules in a highly anticipated encounter, but the match might again see McIntyre or Ziggler cost him the title opportunity. WWE has booked the two hells straight to the main-event scene, and the interference may act as a great build for the two teams to face each other at "The Biggest Event of the Summer."

#2 Brock Lesnar vs Bobby Lashley

Will Lashley dethrone Lesnar?

After defeating Goldberg and winning the Universal Championship at WrestleMania 33 last year, Brock Lesnar has since been undefeated in the handful matches that he's fought. After conquering the likes of Roman Reigns, Samoa Joe, and Braun Strowman, there's hardly any worthy challenger left for the "Beast Incarnate."

In comes Bobby Lashley.

Another underappreciated performer who has not has any meaningful rivalry since returning to WWE, Lashley is one of the most over wrestlers today, and a title match of this magnitude will surely blow up the charts for the two wrestlers and the company as a whole.

A match between Lashley and Lesnar is highly awaited, and SummerSlam is the perfect platform for the two powerhouses to face each other for the first time.

#1 AJ Styles vs Samoa Joe

Will Joe get the gold?

AJ Styles has been killing it as the poster boy of SmackDown Live since winning the WWE Championship for the second time. After beating Shinsuke Nakamura in a grueling Last Man Standing match at Money In The Bank last month, Styles is set to defend his title against Rusev at Extreme Rules.

With the momentum that "The Phenomenal One" is currently in, the chances of him losing the WWE Championship to the "Bulgarian Brute" is highly unlikely.

For SummerSlam, the creative needs to book a deadlier opponent for AJ Styles. Who better than Samoa Joe? The Samoan Submission Machine has not been utilized to his potential on the blue brand, and a main-event match for the coveted title will sell out the arena and be a possible 5-star contest. Joe is yet to win a title on the main-roster, and the WWE Championship is the best way going forward for him.
