The match will also be closely followed by Money in the Bank winner Theory, who has vowed to cash in his contract on the winner.

NBA star Dwight Howard recently made a surprise appearance at the company's tryouts in Nashville. The promotion has since tweeted out a video of the NBA star predicting the winner of the Last Man Standing match at SummerSlam.

Howard called the upcoming SummerSlam show one of the "most epic" ones ever. He then went on to state that despite his love for Reigns, he thinks Lesnar will win.

"This is going to be one of the most epic SummerSlam's ever. Brock Lesnar, Roman Reigns, two titans collide. Boom! I think Brock gets back on top tonight. I love you Roman, but I think Brock comes back strong. He's been fighting. He's hungry!" [00:01 - 00-24]
