5 Possible main events for WWE SummerSlam 2019

Now that WrestleMania is over, it is time to look ahead at the year that will be in WWE. The Superstarhake-up will set the ball rolling for an exciting new chapter in WWE. 2019 has already been a pretty good year with a massive improvement in the overall booking of the product. The next 'Big Four' pay-per-view is SummerSlam, WWE's August staple since 1988.

Some of the biggest matches and moments of the entire year happen at SummerSlam, like the coronation of Roman Reigns as Universal Champion and the first match between Daniel Bryan and The Miz. With WWE's talent roster growing with each passing year, expect another few landmark moments to take place at the Biggest Party of the Summer.

SummerSlam has been main evented by Brock Lesnar in each of the last five years, but will he be sticking around to headline one more time? Whether or not the Beast will be present, WWE will hope to book a massive main event in August. So on that note, here are five possible main events for SummerSlam 2019.

#5. Seth Rollins vs. Brock Lesnar (Universal Championship)

What a dramatic start to 'Mania this was.

Seth Rollins defeated Brock Lesnar to win the Universal Championship to kick off the main show of WrestleMania. It was less of a match and more of an angle, but what an angle it was! Lesnar opening the show was a surreal moment in itself, but the eventual beatdown, comeback and title win for Rollins made this one of the more memorable 'Mania moments in recent times. Provided that Lesnar is not done with the company, he will likely get a rematch for the big red belt at some point.

For s long as it lasted, the expected match between Lesnar and Rollins was a satisfactory one, although, it could have very easily been lost in the shuffle had it happened towards the end of the lenghty WrestleMania 35. SummerSlam would be a great time to have the rematch, unless it happens at the Saudi Arabia show.

As mentioned earlier, the Beast Incarnate has main evented the last five SummerSlams, with more hits than duds. An extended match between the pair would likely be a hit, much like Lesnar's previous matches with the likes of AJ Styles, Daniel Bryan and Finn Balor.

#4. Becky Lynch vs. Charlotte Flair vs. Sasha Banks vs. Bayley (RAW/Smackdown Women's Championship)

These were the ones that took this to another level.

This match might not even be a possibility as we approach the summer, but it is one of the biggest women's matches WWE could put on. The recent happenings involving Sasha Banks and her backstage grievances have pretty much dominated the wrestling news world over the last few days.

Bayley is also supposedly in a similar boat as her tag team partner. If these two get their act together and carry on with no problems, they could take part in another historic Women's title match. After main eventing WrestleMania, Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair could make history one more time.

Becky Lynch is undoubtedly the top female superstar in WWE, holding the championships from both brands. She will likely defend both titles simultaneously, living up to the fighting champion persona she so clearly portrays. Come SummerSlam, we do not know if the Man will still be holding one, if any, of her titles. If she does, a major defence against the rest of WWE's Four Horsewomen would be one of the biggest WWE matches of the year - male or female. After all, these four ladies were the ones who carried the revolution from the resurgent days of Paige and AJ Lee into the phenomenon it has now become.

#3. Daniel Bryan vs. John Cena (WWE Championship)

Imagine the roles being reversed.

Kofi Kingston winning the WWE Championship was the biggest moment at WrestleMania 35, and it ranks up as one of the greatest in WWE history. But now that the moment has come, Kofi's run as the WWE Champion seems uncertain. It is unlikely that he will be the top champion on Smackdown for an extended period of time, so, WWE will have to play it smart and capitalise on this by giving the title to a hated heel once Kofi's reign has come to an end.

And who, in the weeks leading into WrestleMania, was more hated than Daniel Bryan? The former WWE Champion was having one of the best runs of his stellar career before losing the belt at 'Mania and he should absolutely hold the title again.

He could even be the one to beat Kofi Kingston. The biggest possible WWE title match that Daniel Bryan could have at SummerSlam would be a role reversal of his 2013 SummerSlam main event with John Cena. Provided that he would be able to make some time for a run in August, Cena could tell a fantastic story about how he is getting hungrier and hungrier to win his 17th world championship, and that he isn't getting any younger.

There could even be a Title vs. Career stipulation depending on all the future plans. The fans might even cheer for Cena over here, such is the power of heel Daniel Bryan.

#2. Becky Lynch vs. Ronda Rousey (RAW Women's Championship)

Unfinished business.

Ronda Rousey is currently taking a break from WWE, after her main event match against Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch. She even suffered a broken hand, confirming her current leave of absence from the company. Rousey is not guaranteed to be back and there is a possibility that she is done with WWE, at least for now. However, the ending to the main event of WrestleMania was slightly underwhelming, with Rousey clearly putting her shoulder up after a crucifix pin from Becky. This finish, whether botched or not, certainly leads us into the build-up for a one-on-one match between Becky Lynch and Ronda Rousey.

There certainly is unfinished business here. After so many matches with Charlotte and a spring filled with title contests against the upper mid-card of the female roster, SummerSlam might require a Women's title match involving the Rowdy One.

It may take a lot of convincing on WWE's part, but it would be worth it. They need to wrap up the story between the pair and WrestleMania 36 might be too far away for people to remain invested in this angle. SummerSlam would be the perfect time to end this story once and for all.

#1. Seth Rollins vs. Roman Reigns (Universal Championship)

Top of the mountain.

This is a pretty obvious match to forsee. Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns are brothers. Roman Reigns beat Brock Lesnar to become the Universal Champion. He had to vacate it. The belt went back to Lesnar. Seth Rollins beat him for the title at WrestleMania. The Universal title is back on Raw on a permanent basis. Reigns wants a shot at Rollins's title. This match happens at SummerSlam. The story is right there and nobody would even need to turn heel for it. SummerSlam would be the perfect time to reintegrate the Big Dog into the world title scene, after Rollins has had a solid run with the belt.

The next few months are extremely important for the Universal title, as Rollins will look to bring back the prestige of this title. The big red belt has been nothing more than a prop for two years now, ever since Brock Lesnar took his first long break as Universal Champion. Even Reigns' title reign failed to set the world on fire. Hopefully, the Beast Slayer defends the Universal title with regularity and purpose. This match could be so much bigger than it currently is, and that is saying something. The match would also be a good one, as the chemistry between Roman and Seth would indicate.

It would be nice to see two full-time faces going at it for a world title in the main event of SummerSlam. This is something that has not happened since 2013, when Daniel Bryan defeated John Cena to win the WWE Championship. Could we even see a Money in the Bank cash-in this time? Whether or not that happens, Seth Rollins vs. Roman Reigns for the Universal Championship is one hell of a main event for SummerSlam.
