While the SummerSlam already had managed to build up quite a stacked card, it looks like there are still quite a lot of matches being pitched which have not been advertised as of now.

Here is what Cagesideseats.com had stated:

Per the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, there are match ideas being pitched for SummerSlam that haven’t been teased at all on WWE television.

With only a few weeks left to the biggest party of the summer, WWE needs to buck up if they want to build these matches properly before they take place.

While it was reported that WWE will most likely be going with Ali vs Nakamura for the Intercontinental Championship at Summerslam, there seems to be some apprehension as of now.

As per the Wrestling Observer Radio, the match between the two may or may not happen at SummerSlam, however, it is still the plan as of now.

Ali unsuccessfully competed against Nakamura at the recent WWE special SmackVille, although it doesn't look like that match will play an important role in their rivalry.


#3 Ricochet to challenge AJ Styles

AJ Styles recently became a two time US Champion when he defeated Ricochet at Extreme Rules. While Styles along with Gallows& Anderson - collectively known as the Original Club - are running roughshod on RAW, Ricochet has been missing from action due to a minor injury.

Cagesideseats have reported that a rematch between the two has been slated to take place at Summerslam.

#2 Clash of the Samoans

While Roman Reigns had been feuding with Shane McMahon for the past few months, it looks like WWE decided to put an abrupt end to that rivalry. Instead, they have decided to make Kevin Owens the thorn in the life of Shane McMahon.

Which leaves Reigns without an opponent for the second biggest PPV of the year. However, WWE teased a feud between Samoa Joe and Roman Reigns on RAW and reports have suggested that, indeed, it will be the two Samoans clashing at SummerSlam.


#1 Goldberg will return (again)

After the debacle of a match against The Undertaker at WWE Super ShowDown in Jeddah, it looks like WWE might be wanting to bring back the former WCW Champion yet again. Wrestling Observer has stated that this time, however, instead of facing another part-timer, Goldberg might compete against Dolph Ziggler.

Ziggler recently made embarrassing comments about Goldberg on SmackDown which has further added to the speculation regarding a possible match between the two.
