10 Directions For New WWE Universal Champion Brock Lesnar
5. Lesnar Vs. Styles At SummerSlam
Taking place on 20 August, SummerSlam is WWE’s next “big four” pay-per-view. Last year’s event brought a stacked card to the table, but it didn’t live-up to its potential, with Lesnar’s main event against Randy Orton particularly disappointing. As a result, Brock really needs a big-time opponent for this year's inter-brand show, and he should be allowed to headline it. With a new draft reportedly coming this summer and AJ Styles thought to be on the trading block, the choice should be obvious.
Lesnar vs. Styles is a potential WrestleMania headliner, and they’ve never faced each other. If AJ moves brands, it’s the right match to make, even at this early stage. Nobody knows how much either man has left in the tank, and with the Beast's 'Mania 34 plans seemingly already in the works, WWE must deliver on this “dream match” before it’s too late.
The 'Phenomenal One's fearlessness and unparalleled athleticism coupled with Lesnar’s all-round dominance should make for one of the best matches of the year. The fans would absolutely lap it up, and succeeding here would give Lesnar one of the most credible wins of his career.
