10 Booking Directions Heading Into WWE SummerSlam 2017

Rumours that Brock Lesnar is heading back to the Octagon, if not at the end of this year, then possibly the beginning of the next, has fueled speculation that the Universal Champion could be set to drop the title some time soon.

And Kurt Angle's announcement that the Beast Incarnate will be competing in a fatal four-way at SummerSlam has given that idea some extra weight. After all, Lesnar doesn't lose single matches to anyone not named Goldberg, so giving him three challengers could be a way of having the title change hands without actually seeing him take a pin.

Any of his opponents could feasibly take the mantle of Universal Champ, although it seems unlikely it would be Samoa Joe after he tasted defeat at Great Balls of Fire. Roman - as you'd expect - ie odds-on favourite.
