Dave Meltzer of The Observer has said that former teammates Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns will go at it on SmackDown. He said that once Reigns' rumored program against John Cena finishes at SummerSlam, The Tribal Chief will move his attention towards Seth Rollins.

Seth Rollins is rumored to be facing Edge at SummerSlam this year. While Roman Reigns will be taking on Edge at MITB this month, it is likely that the match is a set-up for Rollins to interfere and start his program with Edge.

Rollins had demanded a match against Roman Reigns on SmackDown, but the opportunity was given to Edge instead, which understandably upset 'The Messiah of SmackDown'.

Baron Corbin may have portrayed a 'bad guy' on screen for a long time, but the SmackDown superstar is immensely popular backstage. Andrew Zarian revealed on "We're Live Pal!" that he is considered one of the most pleasant people backstage and the writers love working with him:

"Baron Corbin is beloved in that company. Maybe not by the fans, but I can tell you from a former writer one time told me that he is one of the most pleasant people to work with because he will not be combative, and he works with you on stuff,'' said Zarian.
