SummerSlam is one of the four major pay-per-views of the WWE, the other three being WrestleMania, Royal Rumble, and Survivor Series. The company always books some great matches for this event.
SummerSlam 2021 is going to have live fans in attendance in Las Vegas, which raises expectations to another level. With many Superstars ready to return and many rivalries waiting to continue, SummerSlam will surely have some exciting matches on the card.
Take a look at the Top 5 matches we could see at SummerSlam 2021.
#5. Becky Lynch vs. Rhea Ripley for the RAW Women's Title at SummerSlam
Becky Lynch is one of the biggest female stars WWE has ever had, while Rhea Ripley is the current RAW Women's Champion, and a former NXT Women's Champion as well. They've only had one match against each other in NXT, which ended in a disqualification.
The last time we saw 'The Man' Becky Lynch was at the RAW after Money In The Bank 2020. She's been off on maternity leave but several photos of her have surfaced over social media, and it looks like she's more than ready to return.
Rhea Ripley captured the Raw Women's Championship at WrestleMania 37 and has gone on to defend the title against Asuka and Charlotte Flair. She's still in a feud with Flair at the moment, which is likely to end at Money in the Bank. So who could face Ripley at SummerSlam? Becky Lynch!
Rhea Ripley and Becky Lynch are both excellent wrestlers. Both would put an exciting match on the SummerSlam card.
#4. Bianca Belair vs. Sasha Banks in a WrestleMania rematch at SummerSlam?
After the pair headlined WrestleMania, there's a chance they could also headline SummerSlam, especially if Banks does return from her break to try to reclaim the championship she lost on The Grandest Stage of Them All.
At WrestleMania the pair had an excellent wrestling match that elevated Bianca Belair to her first world title in WWE. A match at SummerSlam is an ideal way to continue the conflict.
Banks vs. Belair was a feud loaded with talent and was well received by the WWE Universe. Many fans considered if to be the match of night one of WrestleMania, if not the match of the whole weekend. People expected to see the feud continue post-WrestleMania, but Sasha Banks took time away from WWE instead.
Thankfully, fans can expect Sasha Banks' return anytime soon. And having her pick up her feud with Bianca Belair where it left off seems like the obvious thing to do.
Bianca Belair has been a great champion as one of the most successful NXT call-ups in recent memory. She has successfully defended the title numerous times against Bayley so now a rematch with The Boss Sasha Banks would be the perfect match for SummerSlam. Both have great chemistry and both can cut good promos, making the story more interesting leading up to SummerSlam 2021.
#3. Seth Rollins vs. Edge is rumored for SummerSlam
This match will make the SummerSlam card look more spectacular. Especially fans have been wanting this match ever since Edge made his legendary return to the WWE at Royal Rumble 2020.
Edge was involved in the main event of the second night of WrestleMania 37, while Seth Rollins faced Cesaro in a singles match at the same show. Seth Rollins remains active, but Edge hasn't been in WWE since WrestleMania 37.
Rumors recently surfaced suggesting that WWE were looking at putting Edge against Seth Rollins for SummerSlam, which would mean that Rollins will likely be finishing up his feud with Cesaro soon and that Edge could be coming back from his break any day now to start the feud.
Edge has been an excellent part-timer ever since he came back to the WWE. He is amazing in promos as well as in-ring storytelling. He is doing exceptionally well for a man who was out of action for nine years.
On the other hand, Seth Rollins has not taken any major time off in the last few years. Both of these wrestlers are capable of giving an incredible match against any opponent. If this match happens, fans wouldn't expect anything less than an awesome sight. SummerSlam is the perfect time for Edge to face Seth Rollins.
#2. Bobby Lashley vs. Brock Lesnar could be a huge contest for SummerSlam
Fans might get a much-awaited dream match at this year's SummerSlam. The WWE Universe already wanted this match when Brock Lesnar and Bobby Lashley wrestled in the WWE a few years ago, but eventually, both of them left the WWE before this match could ever happen.
However, both superstars are now in the WWE and Bobby Lashley has been actively campaigning for it since his return. As a result, fans might get a much-awaited dream match at this year's SummerSlam.
Brock Lesnar has always been treated as one of the toughest guys to ever compete in a WWE ring. He has performed in great matches in the last few years. However, the Beast Incarnate hasn't returned to the ring since WrestleMania 36. However, there are now rumors that his return is imminent.
While Lesnar was gone, WWE booked Bobby Lashley as a true monster. Bobby Lashley has scored wins over the likes of Braun Strowman and Drew McIntyre recently and is the reigning WWE Champion.
Bobby Lashley has made it clear that he wants to face Brock Lesnar. It looks like this is the perfect time for Brock Lesnar to return and face Bobby Lashley to determine who is the tougher guy. The two titans wrestling with each other might be the main event of SummerSlam 2021.
#1. Roman Reigns vs. John Cena could be huge for SummerSlam
There have been rumors that this match is in the works for Summerslam and with John Cena recently teasing a return to WWE just in time for the big summer event, it looks like it's going to happen.
It would be a big match because Roman Reigns and John Cena have both served as the faces of WWE at different times. Even though they've clashed before, the conditions are different now. Unlike last time, Roman Reigns is the best heel in the WWE, while John Cena is one of the best faces WWE has ever produced.
Hopefully John Cena has managed to get some free dates from his busy Hollywood schedule and there are signs to suggest it might happen. He recently posted an image of the WWE logo on his Instagram, hinting towards a WWE return.
We haven't seen Cena for more than a year now. He last wrestled at WrestleMania 36 against Bray Wyatt. When he returns, Roman Reigns is the man he'll probably go after.
Roman Reigns is arguably the best WWE Universal Champion to date. His 'Tribal Chief' character is well received by the fans. If Cena returns, we might see these two men fight each other for the WWE Universal Championship in the main event of SummerSlam 2021.
