OK, so this wasn't going to be three-on-one. Bray Wyatt, Luke Harper and Erick Rowan weren't going to kick lumps out of Justin Bieber at SummerSlam. No, Bieber was going to team with John Cena and Big Show in a rather bizarre looking six-man tag. Rumour has it their tag name would've been, 'The Beliebers'.

No, that's a (terrible) joke. Sorry.

The match pitch sounds like a terrible joke too, but it wasn't. Former WWE writer Kevin Eck has spoken and written about this scenario countless times. According to him, the pop star was supposed to make a series of appearances on Raw leading into the biggest pay-per-view of the summer. Also, get this: Bieber was going to make the match-winning pin.

Worse, lil' Justin was going to beat Wyatt himself then celebrate with Cena and Show. That could've been disastrous for Bray, so it's just as well things fell through. Wyatt ended up working with Chris Jericho on the night, and Cena was unceremoniously squashed by Brock Lesnar in a memorable main event.
