The WWE SummerSlam 2016 Card Fans Wanted (But Didn't Get)

6. Neville Vs. Chris Jericho

When Neville broke his ankle during a match with Chris Jericho this past spring, it robbed him of a spot on the WrestleMania card.

At the same time, he had a ready-made program waiting for him when he returned. Jericho could brag about breaking his ankle and putting him out of action and Neville could return to avenge the injury that robbed him of money, opportunity and potential championship gold.

Instead, Jericho was paired with Kevin Owens for a battle with Enzo Amore while Neville returned to thrilling matches against Curtis Axel, The Dudley Boyz and Jinder Mahal.

WWE Creative missed out on the opportunity to shore up the SummerSlam card with another potential show-stealer, leaving the programme for a less prestigious event like Night of Champions or the typically disappointing Hell in a Cell.
