10 Last-Minute WWE SummerSlam 2017 Rumours You Need To Know

4. The Shield Reunites

Ever since Dean Ambrose was moved to Raw in the Superstar Shake-Up, fans have awaited the reunion of The Shield. Indeed, all three men are babyfaces and all of them have been having trouble connecting with the fans lately, so another run for the group that was hotter than ever when they disbanded makes sense.

SummerSlam is the second-biggest show of the year, and running an angle that reunites the group would cap off the event in worthy fashion - especially if Ambrose and Seth Rollins help Roman Reigns capture the Universal Championship in the show's main event. Having The Shield atop Raw may lead to renewed interest in the show, which will help when football season starts and ratings traditionally dip to their lowest levels of the year.

Will it happen? It's anybody's guess. WWE has a track record of waiting to execute huge angles like this - sometimes waiting too long. Still, it seems to solve a bunch of problems, and it may even get Roman Reigns cheered. It's probably inevitable at some point, but some point may not be Sunday.
