4. Who Steals The Show?
SummerSlam is being sold on the strength of the Rematch Too Big for WrestleMania, Brock Lesnar versus the Undertaker. Its a huge match between two part-time stars, and its being pushed as a cant-miss bout. But SummerSlam is far from a one-match show. Obviously the title-for-title match between John Cena and Seth Rollins is a big deal, and given enough time (and Cenas health), it could be a classic. But there are other matches on the 10-contest card that could steal the show Sunday night. Sometimes, that is the best part of a PPV: having a match on the undercard sneak up and be the highlight of the night. Could Kevin Owens and Cesaro put on a hard-hitting clinic that has fans buzzing for days? Maybe Ryback hits a Double Shellshock on Big Show and Miz in a feat of strength that is too much to be believed. Or maybe the mini-Shield versus mini-Wyatt Family tag match delivers. Then theres the three-team Divas elimination match, which could either be a total mess or your sleeper pick of the night. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vNSVaayTCCs This often is the fun part: What match could surprise the most?
