Predicting WWE SummerSlam 2017's Card
What will the other high-profile matches be at the biggest party of the summer?
With RAW and SmackDown concluding their July B shows, all focus in WWE is now on building toward SummerSlam.
Already on both shows, we're seeing the pieces put into place for some heavy-hitting marquee matches. As of right now, we know Roman Reigns, Braun Strowman, Samoa Joe, and Brock Lesnar will compete in a Fatal 4-Way for the Universal Championship. We also know that Bayley will challenge Alexa Bliss, and Natalya will go up against Naomi for the RAW and SmackDown women's title respectively.
But what about the other big matches? WWE still have several weeks to put the rest of the card into place, and this being the internet, that means we have several weeks to run our minds wild with speculation. This article takes a look at WWE's current storyline landscape and makes a few educated guesses as to what will fill out the rest of the card for SummerSlam. Some of them are almost certain to happen, and some will likely be proven laughably wrong in the coming weeks.
But hey, if I end up being proven completely right, I get to say, "I was completely right" for once in my life. What's there to lose?
7. Unannounced, But Bound To Happen
Let’s just put the matches that have already begun their build, but have not been formally announced yet.
Obviously, Big Show is set to battle Big Cass in a barrage of big sweaty men given their scuffles on RAW. Likewise, Bray Wyatt has already begun harassing Finn Bálor in his latest of arbitrary feuds.
The Usos are, of course, entitled to a rematch for the SmackDown tag titles, and given the quality of their matches with the New Day, it’s likely we’ll see the blowoff at SummerSlam.
Finally, given how Neville was bullying Akira Tozawa on the mic on RAW, it would seem as though their feud over the Cruiserweight title is far from over, and in the coming weeks, Tozawa will earn a match at SummerSlam.
