10 Reasons SummerSlam Will Be WWE's Best Show Of 2016
2. Excellent Build From Top To Bottom
Some of SummerSlam’s big matches might seem predictable at first glance, but WWE have done an excellent job surrounding them with intrigue and making fans second guess their initial predictions.
Who would’ve thought that Dolph Ziggler would have a legitimate chance of becoming WWE World Champion when the Ambrose match was first announced? Ziggler immediately felt over-matched and hopeless, but WWE have worked miracles to rebuild his character and present him as a threat at this level once again. Even if he doesn’t win, he’s fresh-off superkicking Dean’s head off on SmackDown, and who wouldn’t want to see WWE deliver on a strongly-hinted heel turn?
Bálor vs. Rollins is equally unpredictable. There’s an even chance of either man walking-out as WWE’s first ever Universal Champion, and both would be a logical choice. Can anyone say who’s going to win this one with any real certainty? No, and that’s the way it should be. Wrestling thrives on unpredictability, and WWE deserve a round of applause for returning it to all reaches of their card.
Can AJ Styles defeat the downsizing John Cena to end his long-held tradition of flattening the opposition in such feud-ending matches? Will The New Day’s near year-long Tag Title reign come to an end? Can Apollo Crews be the one to end The Miz’s excruciating reign as Intercontinental Champion?
Take a bow, WWE. SummerSlam is the best-built pay-per-view in years, and long may it continue.
