10 Last-Minute WWE SummerSlam 2017 Rumours You Need To Know
2. There Goes The Pain
In the main event of SummerSlam, Brock Lesnar will be defending the WWE Universal Championship against Samoa Joe, Roman Reigns, and Braun Strowman, all in a fatal four-way match. If Lesnar has been proven to have a kryptonite, it's multiple-man matches where he can lose without getting pinned.
This match has an additional stipulation, though - Paul Heyman has promised that if Lesnar does lose the title, he will leave WWE. Of course, Lesnar has "left" WWE countless times since returning in 2012; it's always just a story device to allow him the massive amounts of time off that his contract guarantees.
Given the rather uninteresting nature of Lesnar's reign thus far, many fans have assumed he will indeed be losing the title at SummerSlam. Still recent rumors have suggested that WWE is considering keeping the title on him for the time being, and he is booked for Raw on Monday.
Nevertheless, it seems safe to assume the title will change. Lesnar likes to take off in the fall, and given that he's rumored to be fighting Jon Jones once his suspension ends (in December or January), he'd need to leave anyway for a training camp. It's unlikely WWE would take the chance of having a reigning champ lose a real fight, so a Lesnar loss looks almost certain.
