8 Booking Steps For The Undertaker's WWE SummerSlam 2018 Return

3. Paul Heyman Tries To Get His Client Out Of The Match

That's when Paul Heyman would make one last play for Kurt Angle to come to his senses.

After all, what would Stephanie McMahon be thinking? He's been unable to control Raw for months, even with a self-appointed "Constable" to watch over things, and now one of WWE's biggest stars (Reigns) has been ruled out of SummerSlam. It's surely in Angle's best interests to punish The Undertaker for his actions.

Kurt, though he's been booked as a walkover at times, shouldn't listen to any more of Heyman's propaganda. Side-stepping the manager, he'd get in Brock Lesnar's face (during a rare in-person appearance for the Universal Champ) and tell him man-to-man that he will be defending his title against 'Taker in Brooklyn.

That's when the lights go out again, Lesnar shows some weakness and Heyman screams at Angle as the GM leaves the ring. Suddenly, the match has been set, and it's one fans haven't seen for almost three years. Don't worry, there's a twist.
