10 Things That Should Happen At WWE Great Balls Of Fire

Great Balls of Fire (yes, we still can't get over the fact it's named that) is right around the corner, and looks to be a pretty damn strong PPV on paper, headlined by Brock Lesnar vs. Samoa Joe - a bout as intriguing as it is titanic - and backed up by Strowman and Reigns' ambulance match.

The remainder of Raw's championships are on the line too, with a pair of title matches added to the card by Kurt Angle on this week's go-home show. The Hardyz will have another shot at Cesaro and Sheamus' tag belts in a thirty minute Iron Man match, a very interesting stipulation, while The Miz will defend his Intercontinental Championship against Dean Ambrose (whom it seems he's been feuding with since the beginning of time, by this stage).

Alexa Bliss is mercifully free of that feud with Bayley, a rivalry which was having a clear, negative impact on both women, and will now be facing Sasha Banks for the title. On the pre-show, the seemingly unassailable Neville's next challenger is Akira Tozawa. Rounding out the card are singles bouts between Rollins and Wyatt, and former tag partners Enzo and Cass.

But how can WWE maximise the potential of such a largely promising card? Let's find out...

Part of the reason everybody is so excited for Joe vs. Lesnar is the fact that the build to the match has been very, very good. The challenger has been consistently painted in a very menacing light, from his calm intimidation of Paul Heyman to his shocking ambush on Lesnar last week.

Without bringing the actual result of the match into question, it goes without saying that Brock should not be squashing Joe on Sunday. A typically dominant Lesnar victory would destroy the momentum so carefully built up around the former NXT Champion over the past few weeks - a momentum which has made him a bona fide WWE main eventer going forward.
