10 Reasons For Brock Lesnar Vs Kevin Owens At WWE SummerSlam 2015

4. SummerSlam's History Of Making Stars

There's a tradition in WWE for affirming new stars at SummerSlam. The most recent example would be Daniel Bryan, who became WWE Champion in a clean win over John Cena at SummerSlam 2013, although that was immediately followed by Triple H's heel turn and Randy Orton's MITB cash in. In terms of making fresh stars, Brock Lesnar is actually the finest example of a rookie getting a huge gig at SummerSlam. It was back in 2002, when he'd only been on the main WWE roster for five months, when he defeated The Rock for the WWE Title in SummerSlam's main event. Lesnar is now the veteran and could do that same favour to Kevin Owens. The rookie has had a similar rise to Lesnar and it would be a stunning throwback to see him do what Brock did all those years ago, this time with Brock in The Rock's role. A star could be made on August 23rd.
