With SummerSlam fast approaching, WWE has already started teasing feuds between superstars on RAW and SmackDown. Fans are aware that the King and Queen of the Ring, Cody Rhodes and Jade Cargill, will compete for the world titles of men's and women's divisions in the premium live event, but the rest of the match card is far from being finalized.
At the same time, WWE is set to crown two new champions during the SummerSlam weekend, but this time not from the main roster or NXT. Instead, new WWE ID Champions will be crowned in a Game Changer Wrestling event on August 1. The match card is set to be finalized soon for the company's Independent development program.
