WWE SummerSlam 2019: 5 rumored matches that should have taken place but have been since been nixed

#3. Aleister Black vs Sami Zayn

Aleister Black and Sami Zayn faced off on SmackDown Live

Aleister Black was able to defeat Cesaro back at Extreme Rules, but Sami Zayn was the next star to step up and hope to end the hype of The Dutch Destroyer. Despite challenging the former NXT Champion to a match at SummerSlam a few weeks ago, the match between the two men took place this week on SmackDown Live, which means that it won't be part of the show in Toronto.

The reported reason for this according to Dave Meltzer of The Wrestling Observer was because Vince McMahon re-wrote SmackDown Live at the last minute and had an hour to fill so he decided to move the match up the card. It's a shock since Black and Zayn weren't given a lot of time on Tuesday night, but could have made this up at SummerSlam if they were given the chance.
