WWE have a problem to solve come SummerSlam. Roman Reigns has been complaining loudly for months about Lesnar dodging him, and it'd be brave to run any sort of Universal Title match on the pay-per-view without his involvement.

If he's healthy, that is.

After listening to Reigns verbally tear him a new one the previous week, The Undertaker's wrath would be painful for the "Big Dog". Seeing 'Taker, knowing he's been called out by someone who did beat him at 'Mania 33 and does have a legit gripe, beat Roman down feels like it'd be a fan-pleasing moment that also might make the veteran look like more of a threat to Brock.

Carrying Reigns out on a stretcher and ruling him out of SummerSlam is the best bet. It's certainly better than having him sit backstage to watch others fight for a title he believes is his. As he's being carted out, the announcers can wonder aloud what this means for the future.
