WWE SummerSlam 2019: 3 matches you should pay close attention to

No one is safe!
No one is safe!

We are less than 24 hours away from the thirty-second edition of WWE SummerSlam, which is taking place this year in Toronto, Canada. Last night we saw an epic NXT TakeOver: Toronto event and the main roster has a huge task to follow it up.

The card for the show contains ten matches in total, with six championships on the line. As for the main event, Brock Lesnar will defend his Universal Title against the man who defeated him at WrestleMania, Seth Rollins.

SummerSlam, in many ways, has seen an exciting buildup and with WWE aware of the emerging major competitor, one can expect Vince and company to come out all guns blazing at the Biggest Party of the Summer.

While the show is going to be long, there are some matches that you should pay close attention to. In this article, let's take a look at three of them. Feel free to share your opinions and views in the comments section below.


#3 Women's Championship matches - huge return(s)?

Rousey and
Rousey and Banks

Both the RAW and SmackDown Women's Championship are on the line at SummerSlam. On the red brand, The Man Becky Lynch will take on Natalya in a submission match to defend her title. While on the blue brand, Bayley will try to stop the War Goddess, Ember Moon from capturing her SD Women's title.

At the first look, the two matches don't seem to be grand, but one should avoid missing any of them as a lot can happen during and after both matches. The internet has been buzzing with speculations that two of the biggest stars in the women's roster will return, and that might be true.

If you haven't figured it out yet, we are talking about Sasha Banks and Ronda Rousey. Both of these Superstars were last seen at WrestleMania 35, and for two completely different reasons, they have not stepped foot inside the ring since then. Well, it would be wise to pay close attention to both the Women's Championship matches scheduled for tonight as we could see one or two returns.

Rousey has unfinished business with Becky after that controversial pinfall in the main event of WrestleMania. On the other hand, Sasha returning to claim her spot at the top of the mountain is another possibility.

#2 Goldberg vs Ziggler - an uninvited guest?

Could we seen this tonight
Could we seen this tonight?

Last week on RAW, Dolph Ziggler got a huge surprise when Miz and Shawn Michaels fooled him into signing a contract for a match against none other than Goldberg.

With the Hall of Famer straight away warning the showoff with his iconic "You're next!" tagline, the bout at SummerSlam should be an interesting watch.

But if you think that's all you can expect from this match, maybe you aren't too active on social media. NXT Superstar Matt Riddle has been taking numerous shots at Goldberg ever since his critically panned match against The Undertaker at Super ShowDown. The King of Bros took it to the next level when he asked to be added in Goldberg's match at SummerSlam via his Twitter account.

Last night, Riddle was involved in a huge brawl with Killian Dain at TakeOver, but after the event he took to Instagram to share a video, letting everyone know that he will be at SummerSlam tonight. Now, the question is - what does he have in mind?

With many expecting Goldberg to squash Ziggler at SummerSlam, can we see Matt Riddle jump into the ring unannounced (like he did last night) and attack the Hall of Famer? Pay close attention, dear reader!

#1 The in-ring debut of The Fiend

After months and months of build-up, Bray Wyatt will finally make his in-ring debut as the sadistic Fiend to take on Finn Balor. The Fiend has quickly established himself as the scariest force in WWE by attacking several legends and Hall of Famers with his deadly Mandible Claw.

If the entire gimmick is anything to go by, his debut tonight would be huge and something you've never seen before. WWE is the king of grand production quality and amazing entrances, and I'm curious to see The Fiend entering the ring tonight.

In all likelihood, the match between him and the former Universal Champion could be very short, with Wyatt manhandling Balor. This is necessary to establish The Fiend as a deadly force on the roster. But one has to wonder, will he be satisfied with that? Remember, the Fiend won't be there to get a pinfall, he'll be there to hurt!

Wyatt is on a roll to make a mark in WWE, and it is safe to assume that no one is safe from him and his demented monster. Who do you think will he go after next once he is done destroying Finn Balor?
